I was building some zombie guardsmen when I realised that I could make a decent Ghostbuster out of one of them
I used a SM scout's head with goggles and the body from the Tank commander bitz. The proton pack is a voxcaster stripped down with the front part of a chimera spotlight glued on. I used the base of the leftover vox antenna to make the tip of the gun. This is a IG flamer cut down heavily to resemble the handle as it is in the films. I made the trap with a lascannon battery from the IG heavy weapons box. I just cut the handle in half and repositioned it

Paint wise it's nothing special. I started with a scorched brown coat and a second coat of calthan brown foundation.
This is the first conversion I've posted. What do you think?

Well now that everyone around me thinks im insane for laughing out loud....

This wins. Period.

[Force21]

Wow.....that is awesome. lol


Great job.


You should make the Ghostbusters team all of them. :D

[entendre_entendre]

you gonna catch some Daemons with that guy? great work, now's there's only one thing to say:

BUSTIN' MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!!!

[Just_Me]

Well now that everyone around me thinks im insane for laughing out loud....

This wins. Period.

Agreed, awesome.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

THAT is the most awesome thing iv ever seen since ever.

Now I have to go listen to the ghostbusters theme on repeat...

[murrburger]

Oh, god yes. This is the best thing I've seen all day.

[plasticaddict]

LOL! LMAO!!! That's GREAT!

I think that's a very good job, you should make all of them (including Vince) and use them as a stormtrooper squad whenever you play against Daemons. Hats off to you on both the idea and the execution.

[person person]

Amazing, excellent conversion!

[Madness]

If there's something strange
in the sectorhood
who you gonna call
CHAOSBUSTERS!

[TSINI]

what could slimer count as?

i just thought, their car! "count as" chimera?

[Madness]

Servoskull?

[david5th]

LOL:D:D:D

The new Elysian Tauros Venator could be their Ecto-1.

But what would be Slimer?

[SoulFire]

Wow. i seriously wasnt expecting such a great reception for him. Thanks everyone. :)
I am considering making the full team, but I'm fresh out of IG bitz at the moment. I'll try and get some together soon and post the whole Ghostbusters team.
Any suggestions for something else to use as the round part of the pack? I don't have anymore chimera spotlights left.

[SoulFire]

Maybe a converted Ork Grot? I think that could work...

[Madness]

A squig should be closer to what you need imo.

[Blaznak]

Great googly moogly. That's one insane looking miniature. Very nice. Very nice. Now, can I use my Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man as a Bloodthirster?

[CaptainSinon]

great unclean one perhaps?

[SoulFire]

oops. thats what I meant . I'm not too knowledgeable about orks.

[Lord Inquisitor]

I was totally thinking of doing this and using them as Stormtroopers. Very nicely done.

[energongoodie]

B.r.i.l.l.i.a.n.t

[Cryl]

That is amazing. Please do the whole lot and the car :)

[SoulFire]

Here's a sneak peek at the next one...

[fuzzbuket]

I must steal this idea for my own guard platoon, huh i dont have a platoon or stormtroopers well now £300 on plastoc crak should fix it:D

those are too cool for me:D:D

[ColCorbane]

That's an excellent conversion, inspired work!

[SoulFire]

I need the tank commander body from the tank accessory sprue. But they're £8 a go for one guy and a load of tank bitz I really don't need. Anyone know of a cheaper alternative?:confused:

[Bigred]

OK Soulfire you win...

Get me the GBs 4-man crew up against some horrors on the tabletop, and you have a BoLS pic of the day!

[SoulFire]

OMG. This is gonna take time, money and effort. I'm in. I might even 'pimp out' a chimera.

[Lord Anubis]

I, for one, eagerly await updates on Inquisitor Venkmann and his ongoing battle with daemon prince Vince Clortho, the keymaster of Gozer.

:)

[Morgrim]

Should use the squad as part of a daemonhunters force.

[david5th]

if your specific with which body part and live in uk, i have a couple spare and could send you one.

[SoulFire]

Thanks for the offer david5th, but I've secured the parts I need. Just need to pick them up at the end of this week. :) I use plastic tank commander off the tank accessory sprue. I find it works best as he's already in a jumpsuit. If anyone has some of their own, I'd love to see them have a go at the conversion too. Message me if you'd like a more detailed step-by-step.

[Aenir]

dont forget the 5th ghostbuster with glasses! :D
