The Witch King's flail is a fearsome weapon that holds great significance in the lore of Middle-earth. As the leader of the Nazgûl and the chief servant of Sauron, the Witch King wields this weapon with deadly precision and power. The flail consists of a long handle with a heavy metal ball attached to the end by a chain. This design allows for a wide range of lethal attacks, as the ball can be swung in various directions with great force. The flail's weight and momentum make it difficult to block or parry, giving the Witch King a significant advantage in combat. The flail is not only a physically intimidating weapon but also holds magical properties.

The Witch King’s mace… Part 1

What would a Witch King costume be without his ridiculously large mace as seen in The Return of the King? In his iconic fight with Eowyn in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields he reveals this badass weapon (technically called a ‘flail’) consisting of a massive spiked metal mass hanging from a spiked chain. Here is the clip:

I knew I could easily figure out the handle, and chain would be easy to get from a home improvement store. The hanging part of the mace would prove to be the biggest challenge. Not only did it have to look accurate and give the illusion of metal, it also had to not weight 100 pounds! I searched but could not find a Pepakura version of the weapon. I ended up building a cardboard “core” that I could build upon with other materials. The final piece ended up using cardboard, wood, paper, fiberglass resin, hot glue, canned spray foam, and spackle (and ended up weighing a decent amount anyways!).

The mace, when viewed from the top, is an 8-sided star. I began with a paper template that I used to cut out 4 cardboard panels. I “notched” them so they would fit around a central wooden dowel rod.

My eventual goal was to “sculpt” the final shape of the mace out of spray foam applied on top of the cardboard armature. I had to get the shape as close as possible using cardboard and paper first, as spray foam expands and is hard to control. I built paper pyramids out of card stock and glued them over the spike tips, and also added smaller cardboard ridges to mark the “valleys” between each spike.

I was happy with the overall shape of the mace, so I coated it in a layer of polyester fiberglass resin (see my earlier post on the Pepakura method). This resin will soak into cardboard and paper and add strength and rigidity. After the resin was fully cured (24 hours) I began adding spray foam. I used “Great Stuff” brand which is an all-purpose spray foam used for insulating and filling gaps. The foam does expand quite a bit, but I planned on using the cardboard edges as guides for carving it down to my intended shape. The intermediate result looked a little funny (‘Stay Puft’ Witch King mace!)

Is there a mace in there?!

The next steps were to scrape and sand down the spray foam to the final shape, coat it in yet another layer of polyester resin, and add a lightweight spackling compound to smooth out the pocked surface. In part 2 of this post I will show how I painted and finished the mace, as well as how I built the handle and spiked chain…

Witch king flail

Well my question is what did the Witch -King use as a weapon , I know that he used a mace but Tolkeion dose'nt describe what kinda of Mace .
I mean there are several kind of maces , for eg :-

In the movies PJ shows the Witch - kIng carrying A Morning Star .
What do you think?
I would also like to know any other weapons from the LOTR that you guys ( and Gals) know about ??

I always imagined the Witch-King to carry a mace without a chain, like this one:

Anyway, there are plenty of LotR weapons. and even more, if you count the Silmarillion/Hobbit ones.

Narsil - Elendil's Sword
Anduril - The name Narsil got after it was reforged.
Aiglos - Spear of Gil-Galad
Sting - Frodo/Bilbo's Sword
Glamdring - Gandalf/Turgon's Sword
(Movie-Only) Hadhafang - Elrond/Arwen's Sword
Gurthang- Turin's Sword
Orcrist - Thorin's Sword

. are the ones I remember from memory. There're probably lots more.

The movie version was definitely a morningstar, such as I've never seen in size and power. Physics on it were merciful in my opinion. I mean, it only broke Eowyn's arm, instead of taking it clean off by sheer mass and momentum. Nothing against Eowyn, but she had it extremely lucky, lol!

They just don't Make Shieldmaidens like that anymore.

The picture that gorthaur posted is about what I imagined. The morningstar in the movie was pretty cool but not really what I pictured. Besides, where would he keep something so ridiculously large!?

Also, I believe the Witchking was described as brandishing a sword which appeared to have flames pouring down its blade.

In battle, the Witch King wields his flail with brutal efficiency. He uses the weapon to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies, as they witness its destructive power firsthand. The flail's ability to crush armor and break bones makes it a formidable choice on the battlefield. Furthermore, the Witch King's flail is also a reflection of his status as the leader of the Nazgûl. It serves as a symbol of his authority and prowess, solidifying his position as the fearsome commander of Sauron's forces. However, like all weapons, the Witch King's flail is not without its weaknesses. Its long handle makes it relatively slow and requires space to maneuver effectively. Skilled opponents can exploit this vulnerability by staying agile and taking advantage of the flail's limited range of movement. In conclusion, the Witch King's flail is a symbol of terror and power in Middle-earth. Its design, magical properties, and the skillful wielding of the Witch King make it a devastating weapon on the battlefield. With its ability to strike fear and crush enemies, the flail is a fitting tool for the leader of the Nazgûl..

Reviews for "The Witch King Flail: Harnessing the Power of the Necromantic Arts"

1. Jane Parker - 2/5

I was really disappointed with the Witch King Flail. The story was confusing and hard to follow, with so many characters and plotlines that it became overwhelming. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and I struggled to connect with any of the characters. Additionally, I found the pacing to be quite slow, and there were several unnecessary filler scenes that didn't contribute to the overall plot. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and frustrated by this book.

2. John Adams - 2/5

I had high hopes for the Witch King Flail, but I was ultimately let down. The writing style was dry and lacked emotion, making it difficult for me to become invested in the story. The world-building was also quite confusing, as the author introduced numerous magical elements without providing enough explanation or context. Additionally, I found the protagonist to be unlikable and the supporting characters underdeveloped. This book simply didn't live up to my expectations, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.

3. Samantha Barnes - 1/5

I couldn't even finish the Witch King Flail. The writing was full of spelling and grammatical errors, which made it incredibly difficult to read. The plot was also disjointed, with random events happening without any clear purpose or direction. I found myself becoming bored and frustrated by the lack of cohesiveness in the story. Overall, this book was a major letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

4. Robert Johnson - 2/5

I was initially intrigued by the concept of the Witch King Flail, but unfortunately, the execution fell flat. The pacing was inconsistent, with long stretches of slow-moving scenes followed by rushed, action-packed moments. This made it difficult to stay engaged with the story. Additionally, the character development was lacking, and I struggled to care about what happened to any of the protagonists. While there were some interesting ideas present in the book, they were not explored in a satisfying or engaging way. Overall, this was a forgettable read for me.
