Yeah, I think Gamesworkshop couldn't be bothered to come up with an entirely new colour sceme and such. But I suppose you could always paint on some grey markings to make him stand out.

He is essentially the same ringwraith model with a slightly leafbladed sword in an odd combat position. Personally, I am incredibly disappointed with it, compared tot he other named wraiths. I may just get a generic one for him, to be honest. The position hides the head which could have easily had a helemt to make it seem a little more different. It feels a bit lacklustre, but that's something to have to deal with, lol.

I don't like the pose for either the foot or mounted model, but I do like his robes.

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 8) .

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. :o
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.
