Carnival of Chaos Alternatives

Since Games Workshop no longer sells the models for the Carnival of Chaos, does anyone have any suggestions for converting the models? I'd prefer suggestions related to GW product, but I guess models from other miniatures companies could do as well.

What kind of strikes me as obvious is that quite a few of the Carneval-models don't look like carnevale or travelling folk at all, imo. The Hamlet-guy looks the part and so do the brute and the small one, but only because they got the fancy hats/cowls. All the other ones are just robed guys that don't necessarily shout "CARNEVALE" in your face. That said, you could pretty much use anything, add a cowl, use some bright colors and you should be fine.
I've found two pics in this photobucket:

That guy uses mercs, orks, elves etc.... The only "original" model is Hamlet-guy.
Minis that strike me as obvious are:
Jules le Jongleur from the Brets-range:

The drummer's head from the Bretonnian men-at-arms:

A nice brute with a headswap would be this one:

(the chaos sorcerer or the nurgle sorcerer from this range would be great magisters, I'd guess).
The Sartosa-Vampire might be an alternative for the Hamlet-guy:

And the familiars might be good substitutes for nurglings:

Edit: if you want to go with something closer to an original Carnevale, take a look at Freebooter's Range, especially the Brotherhood from Freebooter's Fate.

And also, of course, the Carnevale-Range by Vesper-On Games:

Even before the 'official' models were discontinued people had started creating their own. A few similar threads from this forum:

Maybe with some conversions you could use GW zombies as actor while marauders or chaos nurgle lord as brute:
