Editing Wight (section)

==Warhammer Fantasy==
In the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] setting, wights are the animated skeletons of ancient warlords and champions who were buried in funeral mounds scattered throughout the Empire. The special treatment given to these corpses at their death makes them stronger and more intelligent than the run-of-the-mill [[skeleton]]s - the lingering enchantments on their weapons don't hurt - and thus they are some of the most potent heavy troopers and champions in the armies of the [[Vampire Counts]] that aren't actually [[vampire]]s themselves.

Examples of wights in Warhammer Fantasy include

* [[Wight King|Wight Kings]], who lead the armies of undead legions on behalf of vampires or necromancers.
* [[Krell]], [[Heinrich Kemmler]]'s executioner and former member of Nagash's elite champions.
