You have to buy Ringwraith foot and mounted blisters.

I've the nine ringwraiths (not the named) on foot: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1080045, so I don't think buying blisters is a good option...
Does aynbody knows if in this blister http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1080035 contains always the same mounted model (position)?

I think this is the best solution...

It's also for playing one scenario (Fellowship of the ring), so mayby I'm going to use the models on foot for that one scenario...

Miniman's unofficial collectors guide (available here http://gondolin.miniman.hu/pdf/unoffici%20...%20de_2.6.pdf) shows that there were three mounted ringwraith variants and the Witch-king mounted (there was also the Witch-king Minas Tirith mounted) produced by GW (I'm not including the named wraiths in this). If you was to get nine mounted unnamed wraiths I suggest you get the Witch-king mounted and eight of the mounted ringwraiths and convert some of them so they are unique.

I have been buying the blisters you show and they contain random mounted ones (three different versions). The ones on foot in the blisters all seem to be the "old four" ringwraiths, those that were released in the time of Fellowship in 2001. At least I haven't had any luck getting any of those "new four" wraiths on foot.

I have now five mounted ones, they are all different and I don't remember converting them at all. Therefore I assume it is possible to mix parts from different blisters to assemble them into slightly different models. So if you start buying the wraiths, you may want to postpone the assembly until you have several of them to see how to mix parts for some variation.

That is right. 3 rider poses and 3 arm poses make it possible to create nine variants.

Thanks all!

I'm going to start looking for the minis and if I don't find them I'll use my foot models for the scenario...

Several of the "named" ringwraiths also have generic enough mounted forms that they fit in with the original three and the mounted Witch King. That's what I'm using. Mostly.
