Once you do something to the bases, yes.

Tabletop just means 'painted sufficient to look okay on the table'.

Tabletop standard typically refers to what a tournament will allow. Usually 3 colors and a base. Quality really doesn't come into it.

Sometimes you will hear the term "good" or "great" tabletop quality, which implies that will it isn't art, or particularly impressive, it is clean and doesn't hurt the eyes.

So yeah, I would call it tabletop standard, even better than average tabletop, as you obviously went the extra mile with colors, washes, and basing (on the one mini that is based).

Definitely higher end TT standard paintjob. As the others said, needs basing. Also, I'd hit them all up with a matte/flat varnish (Testor's Dullcote, FTW!) to cut down on shiny model syndrome.

Looks fine to me, though basing would go a long way.

thanks everyone its nice to have some reasurances that im not completley crap at painting im pretty nervous about how my guys look im new to 40k so yeah thanks!

and also i have a matt finish on them already but this was taken with a flash they dont look that shiny in real life hahaha

Look good! I'd hit them all with another coat of matte varnish. That shine can't be just from a camera flash, I don't think.

Definitely TTQ once the bases are finished up. You've got a scheme that you've stuck to, an attempt at shading/highlighting, and bothered to pick out accessories/details - it's obvious that you put in some effort beyond the standard "3 colors and a pinch of basing grit" tournament minimum. The painting isn't exactly what I'd call clean, but you shouldn't be embarrassed to put these down and play.
