Q: Is it difficult to see through the Nazgul helmet? A: Visibility can be a challenge. Opt for a helmet with ample eye slots or modify it to improve vision while maintaining its intimidating aesthetic. Duel of Good and Evil: Pair up with friends as iconic heroes and villains from the series, like Arwenand the Witch-King, or Eowyn and Sauron. The Fellowship of the Ring: Accompany your Nazgul with friends dressed as members of the Fellowship. This classic ensemble allows for a diverse range of characters, from Frodo, Gimli, Samwise and Gandalfto Aragornand Legolas.
One thing that the film nailed for me was the Wraith's dress. The costume with the armor underneath nailed this for me. The gloves or gauntlets are actually made out of foam and painted to look like metal. Again, you’ll have to read the whole Nazgul Gauntlets posts to see how he made them. I think foam is his favorite material right now. It’s easy to work with. You can create anything with it. Plus it’s not uncomfortable to wear. I can’t imagine wearing those gauntlet made out of metal. Ouch. Dressing up as a Nazgul offers fantastic opportunities for group costumes. Here are a few ideas to consider: The Nazgul costume, with its dark allure and menacing presence, is a perfect choice for those who revel in the rich lore of "The Lord of the Rings" and enjoy embodying a character that exudes power and mystery. This costume is particularly suited for enthusiasts who appreciate the art of detailed cosplay and the challenge of bringing a non-human character to life. Ideal Candidates for the Nazgul CostumeReading: I, Robot - Isaac Asimov, The letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen Good thing most of it was silk, or they wouldn't have been able to even lift their swords, let along get the horses to carry them!
What are all the fashionable wraiths wearing for footwear? How about some sporty looking, segmented and articulated metal sabatons , something you won't likely see in the Nike lineup this year. These are the standard Nazgûl version of the sabatons, with a carrion or reptilian like representation. Notice how the gothic theme is translated to the adjoining greave (ankle and shin armour). We haven't been asked if we want our shoes shined lately, at least not by someone who had a recent tetanus shot.

Individuals Who Prefer Less Intimidating Roles: If the idea of portraying a dark, menacing character doesn't appeal to you, you might want to consider a different costume. These are my favorite quotes as spoken by my favorite character,the Witch-King in the LOTR-trilogy. Lovers of Unique and Impactful Costumes: The Nazgul stand out in any setting, making this costume perfect for those who want to leave a lasting impression.
I await the Witch-king in Mordor,and can be drawn out to battle the Enemy.The Lord of the Nazgul/Ringwraiths is my husband!And if you kill him,I shall smite you in return! The Nazgul, central figures in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth lore, were once powerful kings, sorcerers, and warriors of men. Gifted with Rings of Power by Sauron, they gradually fell under his dark sway. Their transformation into spectral entities, the Ringwraiths, is a tale of corruption and loss, as they exchanged their humanity for immortality bound to Sauron's will. Servants of Sauron The fully articulated metal WitchKing gauntlets (shown here with a light weathering finish). Custom fitted armoured plates moving over each other with precisely slotted pins to control the range of articulation. It's like having bones on the outside. Matching the gothic style of the gauntlets, this armour is formed in 16 gauge steel and is an intricate assembly of perfectly fitting laminations and components; feet (sabatons), shins (greaves), knees and upper thighs (cuisses). Shown above is the Witch King version of the legs. There are notable differences between the Witch King and Nazgûl versions of the leg armour; The Witch King's armour has a different knee fan or wing that splays on the outside of each leg, and a pointed and smooth sabaton (foot). This iconic helmet is a must-have. Look for a dark, metallic helmet with a skull-like design, embodying the terrifying visage of the Witch King. If the helmet has eye slots, accentuate them with red lighting to mimic the Nazgul's fiery gaze. Step 3: The Ringwraith Sword

Maintain an air of enigma. The Nazgul are creatures of shadow and secrecy. Be sparing with your words and actions, letting others be drawn into the mystery of your character. Step 4: Wield Your Sword Sparingly
I loved the way the wraiths entered in Bree - and the wraiths riding together and their costumes flowing like a breath of death! This photo shows a close-up of the finished sword hilt so you can see all three parts assembled together and finished. The Witch King version of the leg armour features an ornate fan like platform from the knee cop (left). Now the part I really love. Apply Rub and Buff in pewter or silver to the top edges of the hot glue gun bead on the crossguard and handle. The best way to make Rub and Buff work is to apply it with your finger then rub over it with a cloth to make the metal shine. That’s where the name comes from, first you “rub” it on, then you “buff” it to a shine. Cover the Sword Handle with Leather The Nazgûl version of the leg armour features a larger, splayed like platform from the knee cop (below).Cut a notch in the top of the handle so that it slips over the crossguard. Next slip the blade through the hole in the crossguard and use wood glue to attach. Then slide the notch of the handle over the crossguard and use wood glue to connect these parts. Clamp everything and let it dry overnight. Make the Sword Design Look Metal
