I asked 6 artists on Fiverr to paint my Warhammer - again!

I'm preparing a €2500 Warhammer army for someone who was forced to sell their hobby stuff last year. As a bonus to this whole army we're building and giving away i decided to add some extra units and models painted by artists on fiverr. So i asked artists on fiverr to follow my painting tutorial to see if they could match the paint style and colors.
