what about these guys?

Looks really good. I would paint the gems on the fire dragon in a similar way to the gems on the exarch. Very cool red to yellow transition on the exarch by the way. The yellow on the weapons looks a little flat, so maybe some highlights/wash on there to add some depth?

Colour scheme looks good. Especially the exarch with the fade from red to yellow

**Great White**

Really nice.

You should keep these away from diabetics, because these models are sweet! I like the yellow tone you've achieved. Yellow is a very hard color. In particular, on the opposing ends of the exarch's weapon. Could you share how you got such a nice tone?

The red-to-orange transition on the Exarch's left-leg could be a little smoother, since the red seems to have a distinct point of demarcation where it should instead have a gradual change.

But apart from that, solid work!

Jimsolo,
I dont really find yellow that difficult, i use a nice even coat of iyanden darksun, followed by 2 coats of golden yellow and a wash of gryphonne sepia. Then maybe a touch up with golden yellow and a final drybrush and or highlight with sunburst yellow. that should give you a nice yellow.
