A bit of a left turn as far as Zombicide models go this time – Marouda and I picked up the Zombicide Ghostbusters Crossover packs a couple of weeks ago, and so I decided I may as well try to paint them in a reasonable amount of time rather than leaving the unopened boxes in the shelf for months or years…
And so with that, the first pair of models painted are the Terror Dogs. Zuul and Vinz Clortho. The Gatekeeper and the Keymaster. Fido and Spot.
Painting was pretty easy. I went with greys and greens for the skin, and then just fleshy mouthparts and bony hornparts, with transparent red over yellow to keep the red eyes bright. Pretty good quality sculpts that were also nice straightforward models to paint, so an all round pleasant experience with these two!
They’re not huge in stature as far as fodder for the Monster MAYhem challenge, but they are modern classics as far as movie monsters go – and I’m sure they’d be plenty big enough if they were in front of you acting all threatening and stuff – though it seems that Berkeley has these two under control!
These turned out awesome! If I didn’t have a huge Zombicide backlog to paint I would have been all over these

Thanks mate! I know just what you mean with the huge ZC backlog, but I missed the Turtles when they were offered, and then the chance for these came up from a local retailer so we grabbed them!

They look really good! 🙂 They looked more blue-grey to me but then again a lot of things seem to on my new Chromebook!

Thanks John! I used a dark sea green, and so combined with the grey it’s right on the edge of green and blue, so it makes sense… 🙂

Excellent work mate, they look just like the movies and a demon dog talking at you would count as a monster in my book ! LOL

Thanks Dave – just what I thought as well! I’m going to have to re-watch the first pair of Ghostbusters movies again sometime soon, and then follow up with Afterlife which I haven’t seen yet! 🙂

They look great, and like Dave if I met them in the dark of night I would think the were monsters, either that or I had one to many!

Thanks mate! I’ll have the rest of the “monster” side of the three boxes up in a couple of days as well. 🙂

Nice work on these, mate! They do look like great minis to use in Zombicide to me and I would have had no idea they were inspired by Ghostbusters. That’s a series that has pretty much passed me by and I’ve never had much interest in watching it.

I’m not a diehard or anything, nor one of those people who are up in arms about the bad remake with the all-girl cast (easy for me to ignore) but they were a couple of fun 80’s movies, and I’d say worth the couple of hours it would take to watch them – particularly the first one.

Its probably something I should try watching. I really enjoy Luigi’s Mansion and so Ghostbusters has to have some overlap with that I would think!

I haven’t played Luigi’s Mansion, but that vaccum cleaner on his back is pretty much inspired wholesale from Ghostbusters! 🙂
