Awesome work; GKs are some of the cooler armies to see well painted in my opinion.

I love the figs...they are glorious, but I hate the vehicles. Your airbrushing is too uniform across all surfaces. Carbon scoring and exhaust doesn't do that in real life. Additionally, the surface dirt and exhaust all feel the same in most cases. I suggest using pigment powders to get that effect before you use an airbrush...or get an airbrush that can adjust to a thinner line. Iwata makes one that can go down to a damn near hair line.
Just my .02.

Bear in mind these are commission and therefore the customer probably got what they paid for; imagine how much more time consuming it would have been to detail each vehicle individually like that.
I do feel that commission painters should indicate what the customer did pay for (master level, table top, tabletop with finer detail on weathering, tabletop with converted guns, etc.) so people know if the painter usually cuts corners like that or is just going by the letter of the contract.

True.

While I think the paint job over all is superb, I have to admit the infantry models blend into the bases too much. I have never been a fan of marine armies blending into the base the way these do. Guard? Yes. Marines? No.
Still, as stated above, great work.

Came out great. I especially like the white helmets. Airbrushing them was a good idea.

Really incredible work, guys. My only comment would be that the vehicles could use some chipping.
