Is this blister hard to find? Is it rare? How much would I have to pay on ebay for one? Any help is appreciated.

thanks, Jason

It moderately difficult to find. Can expect to pay 25-35 on ebay if sealed . . . and then scale back depending on condition. One comes up at least once a month so its not a "if you see it, you must buy it." Make sure its only the mounted figure in the blister as he is the one with the flaming sword, if you have the foot and mounted blister his sword is not flaming.

Was there another mounted Witch King with the Morgul Crown? I thought there was only the one with flaming sword...

He probably means the Crownless version.

Ah, right the Fellowship-era one... Does the Fell Beast set come with two Nazgul in a sitting position? I saw one cheap locally and also found a cheap Finecast Khamul. It'd be nice to get a WK on horseback and Khamul on Fell Beast for about 75% of retail...

Yes it does. the witchking has the crown and flaming sword and the other pose is the generic wraith pose with a sword. Looks a bit wierd on the horse though, the robes are a bit too flowy to be riding a horse.

I did put the W-k from the fell beast set on a morgul knight horse, you can see it my WIP. However, you'd struggle converting khamul on the fell beast as he is molded onto his horse.

I was thinking of swapping the upper halves, actually. Finecast will make it easier to cut through Khamul (one of the few things I like about the material.)

ah gotcha, good idea.

Good one, I'd like to see that Khamul, if you go for it

Just an idea I've had. Khamul on Fell Beast seems so good on paper but I never had the inclination to buy a $35 set and probably bugger up the cutting. If the Finecast Khamul is still there when I go back to that store on Thursday then the project is a go.

Wouldn't Knight of Umbar on Fell Beast be better? Take an Elf's FV and then use the FB's strength?

If you're fighting Elves it would be, I suppose. Knight of Umbar wasn't really around when I was playing a lot. Khamul with a Fell Beast could potentially dole out some serious punishment and be a great troop killer. Plus he's a natural leader for my Easterling contingent.

That and the KoU is still metal, and therefore a nightmare to work with in this way.
