For Wringwraiths try a black dragon with black wings, have the rider wear
darth maul body clear witches ball head and either black ninja hood (hides the
neck piece) or crown or even a peasant hood. Give him a new bigger sword or
black lance and you have a Wringwraith. Now the hard part is collecting enough
parts for nine of these.

I personally use Darth Maul exactly as he is with is head turned backwards.
One instant easialy 'getable' Black Rider or (as you were calling them)
Wringwraith.

Good ideas on the black dragon and crystal ball. The crytal ball and silver
crown would definitely work well for a Battle of Pelennor Fields scenario.
Another good use for the new large broad sword is as Orchrist/Glamdring.

Where do you find a silver crown piece? Are you referring to one of the small
crowns from Belville?

I'm thinking of the crown worn by 6026 King Leo. (Is chrome a more appropriate
descriptor?)
On another note, I was working on a castle Friday night, and I decided to pop in
Braveheart for a little bit of atmosphere and inspiration, and I was struck by
the wonderful similarity of the new rounded-lid helms to the ones worn by the
English soldiers in the movie. I'm thinking that an orange torso with a lion
crest and dark gray arms would rock!

Aye, I noticed the similarities too! Being part Scottish and an avid
Braveheart Fan (I wore out one set of tapes, so I had to buy another), I was
hit with some inspiration when I saw the KK sets. Oh, as for the crown thing;
I would consider it gold. Chrome is a more shiny silver, and the King's crown
is not.

True-- Leo's crown is definitely gold...
But I also have a crown from 6090, which has a more chrome-silver tint to
it... or has it just worn off? Hmm...
