New Grey Knight models

So some of the advanced order Grey Knight models have come out and honestly my first impression is a resounding "meh". I feel that most of the models look a little stiff and are not as dynamic as I was expecting. Most notably to me is the character. His right arm seems to be holding the sword awkwardly and the shield give me the impression that it is too heavy for him. I also think that the new dreadnought should be more active looking. I mean the thing has a giant hammer or sword! Shouldnt it look like it is about to bash in a bloodthirsters skull rather than staring meaningfully into the distance? I do appreciate the rich detail on the models and I am sure someone is going to convert the dread to look really cool, I just feel like the last models were more in vision with demon extermining space knight with outstreched bolters and force weapons pointed forward ready to cut off a deamonette's skull rather than at attention pointing them up in the air. The terminators still look cool though and seem to have captured their previous incarnation. I think I was just looking for these new grey knight models to blow me out if the water, and I feel like after all the great new sculpts they have come out with I feel like they could have really done so. I was just hoping for these new models to make me want to get grey knights as a new army but sadly, they have not.
