Default Devilfish and Piranha

Please give me your oppinons, especially on the flaming fire warriors. I thought it would look cool but let me know if you guys do to. Any suggestions are appreciated; thanks!

i cant really see the piranha. the overhead shot isnt really clear. on the others, though...theyre really....blue? its kinda overwhelming. i would take a darker shade of blue and fill in some of the different designs like the 3 center sections in the middle or something.

That blue, it's really...blue...wow, ahhh, I wasn't really expecting it be so...blue...
So basicly, it's kinda heavy on the blue, try some dark green or black or dark blue, just to take from the, well, blue.

Yea, they are rather blue. I think if you painted a nice black coat over some of the armour sections, like in the middle. its a good contrasting colour, and will break up the blue.

I think more photos for the piranha would help.

hmmm...the blueness is interesting, but also kind of overwhelming. it looks like you have a good start though! some of the tips mentioned above would be helpful, or pick out another color to do trim with, ie bleached bone..unless you're really set on the shocking blue color :]

strange i actually think its pretty kick arse. man those are good and i like the stippling whether it was intended or not. however what i think might also be good is to have black or someother color right down the plates in the middle. from the engine all the way to the front of the devil fish.

I'm not sure what you could do with the firewarriors, but i really like the piranha, take a pic of it on a white surface. I'm not a huge fan of blue tau stuff, but great job on the warfishes. I know they will serve our greater good fantastically.

just remember fire warriors are just high priority targets for charged up flashlights of the imperium.
