You HAVE to post a closeup of the rider for your Black Coach. That models has inspired me incredibly. Amazing work. Can't wait to see more pics too of that monster.
What I have to add is that the colors are very clean. Don't know if I've said that before but I haven't ever seen models look that great before.

Thanks, Dictator. (And the rest of you!)
I plan on getting some brighter photos of the coach, and I can include some close-ups, too. I'm not making any promises that you'll like it as much on the close-up. The mummy himself is a model I consider to be beyond my ability to paint -- he's just that technically demanding.
Hopefully some new pictures will be up tomorrow.

The model is not actually finished. The shields will have theater masks painted on to them (though possibly just "sad" faces). I need to add a bit to the base, too. I've been throwing party debris on the bases of the rest of the army and I like the look of it.

Update 1/3/09 -- Clowns!
Finally finished my ghouls!
I maintain that painting clowns is tremendous fun -- though I did sort of phone some of these in, so to speak. Actually, the best part about painting these was imagining the guy who had to train the ghouls to act like clowns. :lol:
Pictures!
All of my ghouls in a row. Two units of 12, each unique. The "fairy" clowns are my champions, as I needed something that looked the same in both units, but were distinct.
These are my newest seven models. (The guy with the bells was added to the 4x1 group.) I love polka-dots!
A closer picture of my first unit. Naturally, the unit composition will change each time I field this, but, as you can imagine, they don't fit together easily. Putting this army on the table is going to be like assembling a jigsaw puzzle each time.
Second unit.

Absolutely great - figures from all over the place and excellent painting to boot - the puppet master is stunning!
Have you seen these guys from Eureka Miniatures - cleaver clowns on unicycles

Black Knights: the Bicycle Krew
I'm just putting primary colors on everything right now, as I'm trying to get this army ready for a tournament in two weeks time. After that, I'll go back and detail everything for a tournament in mid-summer that's even more important.
So here are my Black Knights. Once finished, the shields will be decorated with theater mask images, to further fit in with the army theme.

For some reason, this is the creepiest army I have ever seen...and that's a good thing for VC. Keep up making me feel terrible for not being anywhere near as talented as you.

RE: Carnivale de los Muerte: Updated 1/11/09
I have my "primary color" paint job done on my Masquerade (Grave Guard), and I played my first game with a (nearly) fully-painted army tonight. My opponent did have some questions during the game about what's what. In fact, there was even a question at one point about which way a new block of 20-ish zombies was facing. (Many of the models are staggering around, and I may not have been terribly careful about how I put them into the movement tray after summoning them.)
All told, it looks like I'll have to be careful while playing this army. I'll have to make sure my opponent knows what he's facing at each step, to avoid confusion.
I've decided to dress my Vampires in white, to try to distinguish them in the battle line, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough. Still, we'll see how it turns out.
I'll need an army photo soon, so you can judge for yourself.

Well, if you were to give them extra lace, etc. they would look great. Generally the biggest and grandest dressed is the owner of the carnival. So while white would be good looking it might stick them out too bad and therefore make them unwanted targets.

You could mark the front of the movement tray, thus making it obvious which way they're facing.

Update 1/17/09
I am down to one figure left in this first stage of painting -- my BSB. Here, then, are two of the figures I've finished today. The first is my Vampire Lord. He's fully painted, though I may add a bit to the base.
Shown here in the unit of Grave Guard. You can see now why I chose to paint him white. He stands out fairly well, I think. That's important to me, as I don't want to "decieve" my opponent by hiding my vampires.
You can almost see the four dancers in the bank rank. They're finally done, too. No real picture for them yet, though.
The second is the last of my Fell Bats. It's the multi-colored one in there. Very busy!
The lord is in there to show scale.
