Think of it this way, if the steam tank cost the $30 that it should, then every power gaming 15 year old in your FLGS would have two (and mauleed would have 37 of them). Maybe this way the aforementioned will be kept in check.
Nope. Price is no deterrent to powergamers. All they are doing is charging what they think the market will bear.
Now, I already have two sTanks, one original dinky-toy sized, and one of the more recent giant metal doorstops. I was going to buy one or even two of the new plastic ones (visions of conversions dancing in my head) but now I think I'll pass, and spend my $114 dollars on liquor and loose women.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

Thanks posting a pic of the temple!
That doesn't actually strike me as too bad. I was sort of expecting a temple made out of skulls, so a temple made out of stone with giant skulls carved in is a nice surprise.
I agree with Anung though that unless GW makes "Lord Cranius, Lord of Skulls and Defender of the Temple (of Skulls)", they might have peaked at self-mockery.

Skulls! Teh Grimdark Oooniverse of Warhams and Warhams 40 million are even more Grimdark!
The Empire stuff is, IMHO, a serious shock.
I'm sorry, you'll charge me roughly $50 USD for 10 greatswords whilst the box of Ghouls with the EXACT SAME model count is only $22
The Metals at least look nice.
Expect me to stock up on those metals......
P.S. does this mean Empire gets a new Codex? without any Codex Creep?

No, this is just a wave of releases, just like with the Nemesis Crown where the big three armies of the event (Empire, Orcs and Dwarves) all got new releases.

Keep in mind, it still ain't June. We don't know what joy awaits for the whole wall of GW stuff. Could be a whole lot of stuff going up in similar manner.

If there was a way to cover that Chaos icon on the Temple it would have many more uses.

It has to be an error in their pricing.
For a unit you would barely ever field, why bother at that price.
Unfortunately for GW, all releases are now going to be pinned to the chaos knights and everyone will ask why everything else cost so much when the CKs are such a bargain.

Sadly, this is probably true.
After that, the price of the new plastic Great Swords will then 'make sense', at least in terms of GW-think...
