As much as I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, a fair hearing and all of that... I believe you're right.

However they have, apparently, cast the counts as Rubrics, Obliterators themselves out of resin, which might explain, for such a poor paintjob and, I quote,
"These models are table top painted with solid GW colors, GW washes, and the dry brush technique."
why they want so much for them. Apparently those Rhinos are made from foam.

I wouldn't even pay £30 for this army, not just because I don't like the idea of a 'counts as' army, but because its presentation & actual composition are utterly unattractive.
