Well, I somewhat agree but not fully. There is much more variety of pose in the plastics, and the bits are great. I plan to add some of the books and banners to my metal models to help them blend in. There is also much more player options in weapon choices, although I think the halbred is a perfectly reasonable option anyway so not really a problem to just use the metal models with them.
I take your point about the walker-- it certainly looks a bit cumbersome. The most common comparisons I heard last night were either the big mech from Avatar or sometimes the lifter in Aliens. That said, the detail on the model is pretty cool. I think it is just a matter of taste. Personally, I am happy that GW made a heavy support 'mech' that was not just another Dreadnaught variant!
