Sweet. The ghostly flagellents pulling the cart are my favourite bit. They do look like they are actually pulling some weight.
Thanks for all comments and votes ! I got two 3rds places with my cart, so, thanks again!!
Now, going to choose more minis for the next GB!!
More WIPs soon...

You have an awesome army, and I particularly like the Corpse Cart. The floating skull and the flagellants are great.
I look forward to seeing the new WIPs

Update !
I'm bulding the standard bearer for my Grave Guards, but don't know yet what to do for it... my army is Lahmian, and I intend to do a free hand on it, with some souls emerging like the dwarf banner, maybe. I changed the focus a bit, for a follower of Neferata, who was sent to gather treasures and enslave souls for her dark master (she will be painted next, probably). Does anyone have a good link for suggestions for Lahmian banners? Anything may be of great help, since I'm a little out of ideas for it...
As for the bearer itself, here's a shot from him. Not ready yet, will get more highlights on the robes, still thinking about the sword too....
C&C welcome!

Finished the standard bearer!
I decided to a more simple banner, with a simple freehand on it. My army general will be a follower of Neferata, born in old khemry, and the banner refers to the chalice of blood used to creat the first vamps. Since the GG are a more "physical" unit than my other ghosts, I left the soul-like banners for them. The simbol on the left means "soul" in ancient egipcian, and the eye is the eye of Neferata always watching her minions (a simple mod from the eye of Ra).
As for the rest of the unit, I don´t know if it would be better to use hand weapon and shields or two handed in a horde. Any insights with this?
Here are the pics
C&C always welcome

i love how you really take the time to think about all the theme/background story for your army and give all the details like ancient Egyptian symbols and stuff like that.. makes them really unique, and i can see you put a lot of heart into collecting and painting your army.. great job! 
Thanks! Yes, that´s the main idea, to give my army time. My VC are my hobby within the hobby, I assemble and paint them between my orks, tyranids and space marines. I am a 40K player and never played a single fantasy battle yet; this I´ll do when I finish (in the next 2 years I hope ).
).As usual, it took me another couple of months to begin and finish something else for my army.
This time, I decided for a Vamp Lady mounted on a Hellsteed (Dark Elf Sorcerer on Dark Pegasus from Gamezone). I followed Redarmy27´s tutorial (in The Invocation 6) for coagulated blood under the skin using glazes, with some adaptation on my own, and turned out pretty cool! It can be seen in some pics, but the real thing is far better.
Didn´t like the eyes very much, but at least is pointed in the right direction.
I may paint some more vamps next, not sure yet, but really want to!

Hey!
I began to paint another vamp (the countess from Avatars of War) and I need some suggestions... It is still a WIP, she´ll get more highlights for the armor, some gems, base, but my main question is about her eyes... I just can´t choose a nice pair... I don´t want ot make them with black pupils, and the red pupil over white in the last vamp didn´t please me too... anybody has a good ideia?
C&C welcome

Love the stuff you’ve displayed here and the painting skill’s is awesome, looking forwards to seeing more.
Finished the Lady (after a small accident involving a decapitation...
I tried the lighter colors for the eyes but didn´t look good, so I decided for a commom dark brown, for better contrast with the skintone. Here go the pics:
I think I´ll go for another lady after this one... or maybe some skellies...

IMHO the armour is a bit messy but those garments on the other hand look beautifull.
I also very much like the skintone on your vamp, mind sharing how you did it?

Very nice job,If I had to criticise..the armour could be nitpicked,she looks like she has something in the corner of her eye..but it may be the angle.
She's beautiful really,and I imagine any apparent "flaws" melt away when she's sitting on the table.You did alot of work on her,and it shows.

Hey, thanks! Yeah, the armor didn´t end like I wanted, but the in real thing it doesn´t stand the same as in the pics.
@Cuzzy: The skin was done following Redarmy27´s tutorial (in The Invocation 6) for coagulated blood under the skin using glazes, with some adaptations on my own. My base flesh color was Vallejo´s Flat Flash, and I added another grey colour to the mix he suggests, and some white to the mix for final highlights. No real formula, just added until I liked it. It was all done with glazes.

What´s exactly glazing? I have heard the concept a couple of times around here but I´m not sure how it actually works.
Thanks anyway.
