It's all so nicely done and I know you have washes for rust... Yet they feel so clean and I'm not sure why, perhaps the photography and lighting but there is this niggling feeling that it's all just rolled off the factory line, perhaps it's the crispness of the white.
But lovely scheme and overall effect. Ignore me, I'm thinking it must be the 'lifted' brightness of the photography technique.

Beautiful work!
They do look a bit clean, in a worn vintage sense Perhaps its the coherrent black armour plates that makes it look "clean" (IMO it looks very cool)
But seriously, I really think they would look great among scenery. maybe post an action photo?

I tell you what I can't get over is the size of the Dread against a marine dread! Its huge and looks soooo mean! Im waiting for the delivery man with my next order to arrive
Those look really nice. Very professional. I am working on pretty much the same set of models right now - Kans, Deff Dread, Battlewagon - and I am having a blast with them.

Yeah, as I said, it's prolly the crisp white backdrop and the lighting/lightening effect also altering the white on the paint job and making the metals look clean.
Youz got skillz!

Nice work. Thankyou for not splattering them to death with rust and battle damage (which is what most ork players do). Clean is the way to be. Good job.
Ican't help but agree. You have the cleanist dirty and worn models i have ever seen. I would guess it's because the paint on the armour plates aren't chipped enough. Like you just got your Mek to finish them, then drove/marched them straight through the mud.

Dakka, the only place on the 'Net where that would be referring to a pic of a plastic model...
