A coworker bought a copy of Ghost Stories but it came with two red pieces instead of a green piece. The solution? Repaint!
The game is a cooperative four player game in which you protect a village from ghosts drawn out of a deck. There are minis for 4 players, 8 ghosts and 2 buddhas, so this shouldn't be a huge project.
First off, the original figs are quite flexible and brightly colored. Not exactly the right mood for a game about ghosts...
They are sized about like normal 28mm wargaming figs.
Below is WIP, taken with a camera phone. I painted green dude (previously extra red dude) over the weekend, and we're working on the rest together at work on lunch. After painting him I applied a liberal coat of Minwax polyurethane then a coat of VGC matte varnish to kill the shine. We're going to handle him as one would in a game to see if the matte varnish wears off (revealing the glossy areas) or if the paint wears off altogether.

The game sounds fun too. Cheers, B.
