Nod. I'm not a huge fan of the old doublehanded overhead strike pose (see the Aragorn King figure), but the overall design I don't mind at all. The helmet under the cloak isn't bad, and I like the fact that he looks more like a Ringwraith than a Black Numenorean Commander.

My favorite of the named GW ones are The Tainted and The Undying, as they retain the "Ringwraith" look the most strongly. I actually do like most of the others, but they are less "Ringwraith" in appearance.

I actually kinda like him. I like the fact that he looks more like a ringwraith than some random gondorian king.
I also really like the paint job they gave him

I actually don't like him...the pose looks ridiculous both foot and mounted...especially mounted, I mean who holds a sword like that on a horse? Not a big fan of his helmet (could that even be called a helmet?) either. I liked most of the other wraiths better, even the undying (who carries a freaking staff)

He looks pretty cool. But not as cool as the others.

What annoys me is how they felt they had to give him the same pose both foot and mounted.

Just Aragorn the king, but then a few robes addes, so he looks like a RW.

Has anyone else noticed that every LotR release by GW since the Mordor sourcebook was released has included some sort of Nazgul? The Mordor sourcebook had the Shadow Lord, Undying, the Tainted, and the Dark Marshal. Then the new Witchking model came out with the WotR release. Then the Betrayer and the Knight of Umbar. Then the plastic winged Nazgul. And now the Dwimmerlaik.

Any guesses on what will be next? Plastic Nazgul? Baby Nazgul? :-D

I don't understand his square-hole helmet, and not really a fan of the model. My favorite GW Nazgul is certainly the Tainted.

You forgot the Galadhrim release, which was a major release. No Nazgul there.

I quite like the Dwimmerlaik. I prefer these new named Nazgul much more when they at least look like Nazgul. The Knight of Umbar and the Dark Marshall just don't look like Nazgul to me, they look far more like Black Numenorean's. I agree the Dwimmerlaik's posing is a little awkward, but I do really like him.

I think he means as in Vampires and their human girlfriends. That kind of touchy-feely, glittery Nazgul.

I've got to admit, that would be more frightening than anything else GW has offered.

Having thought about it for a while, I don't hate the Dwimmerlaik as much as before. The pose is to generically overdramatic, and the helmet/mask thing looks like he wishes he was the Master Chief, but the overall style is actually a lot like what I originally imagined the Black Rider "disguises" from FotR as being.
I like most of the newer Rw models because of their Second Age feel, in which the Dwimmerlaik just does not fit for me. But, if I cold get rid of the corny pose, I could see that model bearing down on Frodo at Weathertop.

i like dwimmerlaik. i doubt ill get him cos im not doing an angmar army...but maybe. it would be a nice model to have. his pose is quite nice too. better than the normal bland ringwraith pose. also he doesnt look 100% like an average ringwraith. can see why people see that. he looks so much cooler and would stand out alot more. my oppinion anyway

I'd guess that Ringwraith figures sell very well, and have a crossover appeal to people aside from Mordor players.

They may well go back and redo the generic twilight ringwraiths with new rules and 9 figures in total. Foot and Mounted versions

Another option is Twilight versions of the 9 named Ringwraiths, again foot and mounted.

Finally, another 6 mounted generic-hooded Ringwraiths (since we already have 3 + Witchking), or even a plastic boxed set. (though probably not, since I somehow think they like selling the expensive individual figures...)

Perhaps a new sauron!?

Ah, my bad :oops:

. But I think I've made my point.

I don't think the model is bad (not my favorite either). He looks much more wraith-ish to me than some of the others (Knight of Umbar/Dark Marshal), which is always good.

Black nazgul candies! mmmm... :-D

A see-thru nazgul, like that frodo figure wearing the ring. :lol:

I just may get the foot version, as I don't mind it, but I don't really like the idea of preparing to strike with both hands on the sword-no hands on the reins! so no mounted dwimmerlaik for me.

My two cents

What?! You wouldn't be utterly terrified to see a Wraith charging at you fall on him bum? I guess you're braver than everyone else, then. :lol:
