Hallowed is the All Pie The Before Times: A Place That Celebrates The World That Was
Why do I think of Space Marine Centurions when I see these...I think the armor doesn't looked beat up, hap-hazard, or rusty enough. Nothing a little time with a hobby knife can't fix though I suppose...

I would say that they look more like a Fantasy version of the new Ogryn kit, especially in that color.
Managed to get a pre-order in. Hopefully they didn't over sell them.

I see what you're saying, but the name does imply that they have the best gear like the Stormvermin do.

The pose in combination with the style of helm is way too... Heroic for a Skaven model. He looks like he's going to save a Princess from the Evil Wizard's Tower.

Um what? Not a fan of this model. Is agree its a little to heroic looking for a rat ogre. I will just be using normal rat ogres for this if the rules are good. To much to paint anyways.
Maybe it'll have other options that one looks like it has some sort of claw and the one in the background has the rattling gun.

Foot on rock syndrome has always been a thing. Players even voluntarily pose things this way, or base every model completely on a rock. It's a pet peeve of mine.

You should see some of the complaining every time there's an infinity model with a foot on a rock. I think you'd find a few kindred spirits
I can see why people don't like it but I don't mind personally and I'm loving these Ray Ogres so far.

Other than the foot on rock and the Stormfiend lacking a halberd, the pose is pretty reminiscent of the majority of non-2-hander poses in the Stormvermin box.

It costs so dang much, you (or at least I do) get afraid to even touch it. And what are you paying the extra $90 for? A handful of A4 sized art prints? A fancier slip-case? Exclusivity? (I'm one of the 500 people that got one!!!) To me, it's just a fan-boy tax. It's bad enough that I'm paying $75 for the Hardback version (which I felt was splurging over waiting for the softback). GW must hold some World Records for the most money charged per page on a newly published book. ...and that is saying something because Text Books here in the US are insanely expensive!
I like the armored rat ogres, I just wish they had rat heads and not the Mech robot looking head. crossing fingers there is an option for an exposed rat head,
