Now that I've got a chance to really study it, I think that the extreme tail section of the Andorian ship is actually a dual nacelle -- observe how there seem to be two distinct sections, one stacked on top of the other.
Those two pods mounted on the wings have an almost detached look to them, leading me to think that they're probably heavy auxiliary craft. You can see some blue glows on the rear of the left-side pod, on both sides of the pod. That might suggest some engine sub-assembly for that pod section -- meaning a detachable craft. If the Andorians are more aggressive, having a heavy troop landing craft or two would make a lot of sense for planetary combat. (And Masao had the same idea a while back. )
And though we can't see it well from this angle, the nose section reminds me mostly of a Danube-class runabout, for some reason...
