Awesome sculpt work, But I also wonder why would an amphibious race have hoof like boots? I imagines clawed webbed feet, maybe some sort of propulsion impellers in the calves of the suit along with a similar idea for the back armor?

Wheeled vehicle may work for land attack? But I see undersea dwellers mimicking what works underwater as well Hydro-dynamic water jet vehicles and or crustacean mimicking walkers?

I also like how the shrine warriors are Ogryn sized. so many of the armies are built along human sized.

With regards to his feet, maybe these guys don't actually swim but walk along the water bed. They could be super dense so as to remain sunken. It would make sense given his size.
Love this sculpt.

You mean like the old deep sea divers.

What about feet similar to deep dwelling crustaceans and bottom feeders?

They obviously developed those for a reason...

Anyway, just saw this and thought of you:

Big Daddies.
EDIT:
That's what these guys need. Big Daddy helmets.
Do eeeet.

I'm really liking the tentacle face.

For underwater propulsion how about some sort of thrusters on the feet? Maybe like an intake fan on top of the toe?

If you are looking for ideas on what vehicles to give them, I imagine boats of a similar design to the "fishy" submarine off star wars episode one. The propellers on the back would be a good source of inspiration as they are exotic and very aquatic.

(four pages of comments and you have only sculpted one figure, I think you are on to something! )

Keep up the good work!
