Do you? You apparently don't realize that is the stock loadout of all terminators, half of the veteran sergeant and captain models they've ever made roughly, and plenty good for several marine special characters.
complainers gotta complain... 
seriously, it is a cool looking model, might even make me place an order just to get one.
I agree with the first part but not the second.  He looks too much like he just crawled out of the skull pit on the Realm of Battle board for my tastes but I posted the counterpoint simply because some sort of bolter (not pistol) plus powerfist is one of (if not the most) common loadout characters get. You might as well be surprised if the next chaos or dark eldar model has spikey bits on him if a storm bolter/ PF loadout on a marine is a shock. Not every special character needs to be mathhammered by the tourney crowd before getting sculpted and the two are perfectly viable (better at shooting and close combat than standard marines but not the best possible in either) and frankly look cool in general.

Towering Hierophant Bio-Titan

Got a game coming up at the end of next week and need another unit of horrors, daemon prince and a few more flamers, so they need to make this quick 
Do like the free model though so may have to spend a bit more.

Is it just GW stuff that's expensive or all imported hobby stuff?
IE is it down to Australian import taxes or GW having it shipped to you via the moon??
Almost all imported hobby stuff. Tends to cost about 25%-50% again as much as it should. GW stuff bucks that trend (in general) and goes for closer to double. Rarely and recently, some kits are closer to parity. It's down to gouging on distributors' and GW's part. Not taxes. (10%)

I think I counted 40 skulls on the model. That's pretty good for one model.  TheKbob wrote:GW already missed a prime April Fools joke by trademarking "Sisters of Butthurt" and pushing that out as an iPad update.

We've got like 5.5-6 hours left before the site is up (11:30pm-12am UK time, when the usually put stuff up). I don't think "any minute now" is a valid statement.

Sorry about that. I am pretty confident you know the original quote though, given your username!

That Space Marine Captain is a redo of a very old Games Day model from way back when.
I've got one somewhere in my ancient Dark Angels army.

They've tried invoking him, actually. Their worker's heads kept exploding because they keep saying his name by accident (he is called "he who is not to be named," after all).
That's why there are no FAQs - not enough staff to work on them because of that.

You mean Hastur of course. I love the guy, I mean Hastur is a total bro. He's just a little picky about people saying "Hastur" too many times.
For the moment. I give it another 10 posts before someone bitches that this thread even exists again.

There's actually a comic that has him as a minor character. The author has a very...literal definition of the moniker "the unspeakable," which I referenced
