Fiendish Oysters in Savage Path

[glitterszaad]

Chat'n with a friend of mine and he stated that this is the place to get the best results in ascertaining feedback on

Fiendish Oyster Miniatures - already in the works by myself.

If I were to conjure these minis into being - would there be interest from DMs and players alike to use them? Would you buy them unpainted, pre-painted, and how much would you consider paying for say, a pair of different style miniatures of Fiendish Oysters.

Description: one is a standard looking closed Fiendish Oyster with all the wicked sharp ridges and a couple of horned portrusions - the other, is opened displaying a pearl and skull in it's gaping slimy inerds during it's attack. I haven't decided if I'm making yet, a third one with some type of shield or weapon within it as well.

I need some feedback to see if these Fiendish Oysters are remotely worthwhile to attempt or even have a chance to be searched for...has anyone tried?

My friend's enthusiasm was certain it could be a hit, especially if they are not expensive...which I try not to make them expensive. So tell me - would you take the time to paint them? Or would you pay a little extra to want them already painted.

Thanks and Happy Hunting.

i do wonder how 1/2 dragon fiendish giant oysters would look like.. certainly possible as oysters change gender at will. Now just be sensible and don't kill it/them.. they should be able to generate some nice income.

Then its just about finding a dragon buck..
Pearls might look like the breath attack of the parent.. sort of.

I wonder how they would taste with Fiendish Champagne...

Clams of doom ? OMG, lets sick the Dire-Otter on them...

Any mini must be painted especially one of this nature (sorry for the pun!) because it fills such a small niche that the effort to paint one would exceed the desire to pay someone else to supply it in the first place.

you could probably just use real oysters (or the shells). They would be a pretty good size to make intimidating nasty looking things compared to mini. Slap a little nasty looking goo on them, and they would look pretty fiendish.

I agree with P.H. Although I love the idea of having a mini of the Fiendish Oysters, I would probably do it mechanically myself after getting a pound of littlenecks from the grocery. A little clam linguini and then a little sculpty . . .

On a parenthetical note, one of my ex-coworkers got a case of the Fiendish Clams when he went to Thailand for a 'business' trip. True story.

Thanks for the responses...I wasn't sure if you were serious about using real oysters, but, uuummm....as a DM, I'd probably get hungry and eat them myself... :)
anyway - I'll prepaint them most likely.

From the description, they are about 5' long (1 square) in size, and that's about the size I've made them with small ± tolerance.

Have a look on April 2 on eBay...they will be posted.

thanks again,
