This is why GW stopped giving us nice things (post quoted exactly as written in a Necromunda facebook group):

"To say I am disapointed with Gor Half Horn would be an accurate statement.

As a Veteran Gamer, I appreciate the throwback to an old model and breathing new life into it. I like the way it looks. But I think the Specialist team has forgotten the rules in favor of "cool factor".

For me at least, back in the day I was as WYSIWYG as was possible with Necromunda. My models had what they had as closely as I could make it.

But Gor here is equipped with far more than his stat card would suggest. He is statted to be carrying a chainsword, plasma pistol, and shotgun.

The model is also carrying second pistol (fluffed as another plasma), frag grenades, and two (explicitly stated) stiletto knives. Not to mention having a Bionic Eye."

Give me strength....

Me? I like it personally and might be tempted to get one even if I don't play the new version.

1. Who says a Bionic Eye has to have any in-game effect.
2. Carrying two pistols <> being able to use two pistols - always have a spare.
3. Unless they've changed the rules, every model was assumed to have a knife, whether one was modelled or not.
4. "Dude, he's got grenades, let's surrender" - psychological.

1. His description says he has "cybernetic augmentations" and doesn't specifically mention his eye at all. Maybe these are built into his statline and have no extra effects.
2. Both pistols are stated to be plasma. Why would they list stats for duplicate weapons separately?
3. Escher enhance their stiletto knives with toxin, but this guy is not Escher. Without that, a stiletto knife has the same stats as a chainsword but without parry. Assuming no toxin, I can't see how the knife would matter at all in game terms.
4. It has never been a requirement to have grenades correctly modeled.

Not seeing an issue here. If some people decide to not play because forge world made a nice model and didn't give him in game rules for everything the background says he should have then that is their loss.

Similar dude over on dakka/yaktribe, outraged that this new model wasn’t scaled to match his rouge trader era beastmen guardsmen.... it is no wonder games workshop don’t engage with their fan base more regularly when there are that kind of dick out there!
