FYI, Lateksimajava's Middenheim army won the best painted army title in the local GW shop competition some years ago. (Yes, they still allowed square bases after so many years of AoS.) It was probably featured somewhere in the Warhammer Community, although not on the pages of the White Dwarf.
Since then, he has painted a gorgeous Beastman army and an even more gorgeous Bretonnian army. The latter won the best painted army just last week in a local T9A tournament, and didn't play badly either.
