It started almost two years ago, but I got a good restart on my Ghostbuster project in the last few weeks. Here are a few group shots. You can see detailed shots of individual minis on my blog at: link (Just do a search on my blog for "Ghostbusters.")

Fantastic work! I love it…

Battle Works Studios09 Jan 2011 5:31 p.m. PST

Nice work, inspirational!

Redroom09 Jan 2011 6:29 p.m. PST

Nice!

jgibbons09 Jan 2011 6:31 p.m. PST

Truly outstanding!

Any particular rules in mind?

I see the 11th Doctor and Padre from Machete.

Greenfield Games09 Jan 2011 6:55 p.m. PST

Fantastic. When can we play?

jpattern209 Jan 2011 7:03 p.m. PST

Very cool. Excellent use of minis from a variety of sources.

evilcartoonist09 Jan 2011 7:05 p.m. PST

James, for now, I'm using a modified version of Tusk, though I may try using All Things Zombie with some added rules for ghost traps.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER09 Jan 2011 7:21 p.m. PST

Those are very good.

CmdrKiley09 Jan 2011 8:05 p.m. PST

Awesome!

For your next challenge, you must make…….


The Staypuff Marshmellow Man.

He stands about a foot tall. Perfect for gaming purposes. My FLGS has a couple.

Wow !!! Very, very nicely done !! "Who Ya gonna Call ?!"

Pijlie09 Jan 2011 9:29 p.m. PST

Incredibly good!

aercdr09 Jan 2011 11:55 p.m. PST

Great stuff. Like Cmdrkiley I yearn for the Staypuff Marshmellow Man. Or a bit of Gozer the gozarian….

Boromirandkermit10 Jan 2011 3:48 a.m. PST

Again – fantastic stuff mate! Love the Slimer!

You'll be able to use them for Fear and Faith soon… ;)

McLovin10 Jan 2011 5:07 a.m. PST

Great project and fantastic end result. Games must be good fun.

Looks Fantastic!!

Outstanding work and subject matter. My son grew up with Ghostbusters (he 22 now) and we still have his Ghostbuster outfit and backpack in the attic. My wife refuses to get rid of it. He never was interested in the miniatures thing but I bet I could turn him around with these babies. . .

I would love to see your Mods for Tusk. Do you have them posted anywhere?

Stacy

evilcartoonist10 Jan 2011 8:56 a.m. PST

If you have Tusk here are the basic changes I made (VERY simplified): Instead of a base of figures, everything is on an individual base. Change the names of the character types- ranged types are the ghostbusters; shamans and special characters become your paranormal investigators. There is no fire. But traps take the place of fire on the reaction tables.

I added rules for ghost traps (another action to spend action points on.) You spend one action to set it up and another to activate it when a ghost is in range. Successful hits with positron colliders (ranged) provide a bonus modifier to activating and rolling for a trap attempt.

Then I made a few reaction tables for ghosts.

So essentially, my rules are a re-skin of the game (though I have created my own special characters with their own powers as well.)

Those are the basic changes I've made. I can't post the rules as I have them written out, because I rewrote the whole rulebook, including my changes, for myself.

I reckon' Stay Puft will simply be a Brontosaurus :)

jgibbons10 Jan 2011 9:51 a.m. PST

Thanks for all the additonal info!!!

James

spectre10 Jan 2011 11:36 a.m. PST

I would think that the Fear and Faith rules from Ganesha Games might fit the bill very well…

Boromirandkermit10 Jan 2011 2:28 p.m. PST

The Tusk mod sounds great – nice work. :)

Riverbluff Wargames10 Jan 2011 5:47 p.m. PST

Thanks for the info. I have Tusk thus my inquiry as to the mods. I'll have to give a shot at trying them out.

There has been a guy at Origins the past couple of years running what looks to be a fun game of Ghostbusters. He is using his own house/club rules. I'd love to get in, or at least get to watch, one of his games to see how it plays but I'm always working when he is running it.

Outstanding!

jpattern214 Jan 2011 11:35 a.m. PST

Hah! Excellent!

evilcartoonist13 Mar 2011 9:16 a.m. PST

Sigh. Of course this would be released just a few months after I made my own: link

1/43 scale.

Oh well. Maybe it's a sign I need to slow down? :)

Rodney14 Mar 2011 6:58 a.m. PST

Irony! :)

Redmenace55514 Mar 2011 4:23 p.m. PST

Actually, since the GBs you did are your own group, I think the Ectomobile you went with works well. It is as individualistic as they are.

evilcartoonist15 Mar 2011 7:53 a.m. PST

True- I DO like my own Ecto mobile.
But I may still purchase one of these if I can find one.

Thieses18 Mar 2011 8:55 a.m. PST

The new pics a very nice. I was very pleased when that Staypuft bank was released. I really like the shot off of the roof.

capncarp18 Mar 2011 7:30 p.m. PST

Speaking of which, the movie was just on the television.

IronMike26 Mar 2011 4:18 p.m. PST

The ghosts in the background are magnificent! Where did you get them?

evilcartoonist27 Mar 2011 6:19 a.m. PST

The threee ghosts are all from Reaper Miniatures. I made Slimer myself with some greenstuff and a couple random arms out of the bits box.

IronMike27 Mar 2011 2:37 p.m. PST

Great, three more additions to my lead pile ;)
