If you look at those pictures closely, you will see that painting standard is mostly just TT.

True, but honestly, looking at the Dark Eldar army, it's insane. I mean, doing that kind of scheme on a single miniature is awsome, but on a whole army

agreed - too much spare time

Those are ultramarines?
I would have said any other chapters but not Ultramarines.

Besides that, paintjob is awsome

why? because they have slightly different shade than GW studio army?

Well, they're turquoise, not usual blue.
Not saying it's bad, just unsual and not easy to recognise as Ultramarines.

40K camo

"oh no, Mr. Abaddon, we are not ultras!"

yeah, but these aremies look great, don't they?

and I wouldn't call these by Arsies just tabletop quality ^^

I wrote my post before Arsies's army was posted, I don't read future... yet
Most of those armies look great, not because of quality of their paint jobs, but because someone had an idea/theme/history in his head. Those are the things that make an army

After first picture you think, what a cool looking army. After the last one - oh it was dipped.
You look at those armies from 1-2 meters away and super blended paint jobs don't play that big role.
This army doesn't even have highlights painted, but still looks super cool! Mostly thanks to color selection.
