Those are really a symptom of Eavy Metal painters either not knowing how to paint, or being instructed to poorly paint, female skin. Or skin in general. Too many hard lines and harsh highlights. A softer approach to the skin shading would yeild a better end result on those. Not that they're not terrible models, but a better paint job would do wonders. For their use though, as Vects slaves, it's hard to call them 'silly', merely 'bad'.

Personally, I prefer the Noise Marines that came after the Guitar Marines: the ones with daemonic faces. However, Guitar Marines are still cooler than Jokaero. Those things look ridiculous, and not in a good way. Most people on here think the Guitar Marines are great-only 2 of you so far have disliked it.

The story about the head is that the original sculpted was too scary or something so the sculpter did another goofy silly looking thing... and they actually accepted it.
I don't know if that is true but in all honesty, the way the rest of it is sculpted isn't great either. There are some good conversions using the Necron Nightbringer though.
Like this one.

It could be a Battle Sister from a short story I happened to read. Five of them guarding a small shrine on some backwater agri-world that came under Dark Eldar attack, a huge raider-mounted force arriving through the Archon's webway portal. This one sister quickly realized there was no hope of fighting through so she stripped out of her armor, put on some clingy clothes and strapped a holy relic to her thigh before surrendering. A vortex grenade... She was picked up by the Archon himself and shortly thereafter the Archon's Raider and the webway portal onboard disappeared. A heroic space marine chapter arrived to cleanse out the rest of the poor Dark Eldar later, trapped on a stupid empty planet as they were.
