About
Unit Description
Weapons bursting with dark energy, Wight Kings are monstrous fighters, more powerful than a dozen lesser ghouls.
Historical Description
Wight Kings are incredibly powerful Undead, almost as hard to destroy as Vampires. Suffused with Dark Magic, a Wight King's weapons shimmer with baleful energy. The merest touch of their spear tip or blade can drain the life from their foes, or slice through flesh and bone with an ease that is frightening to behold. Clad in ancient armour, their flesh all but withered away, there is little for an adversary to cut or stab. Even to stand before one of these skeletal warriors of antiquity takes an extreme effort of will. For these reasons, a Vampire will often charge a Wight King with carrying forth the Undead general's personal banner. Such a duty is often integral to the army's stability, and these indomitable Undead warriors are able to hold aloft the army standard whilst tirelessly striking down one foe after another.
Abilities
Foe-Seeker
There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish.
Heroic Killing Blow
There are powerful beings who can decapitate a dragon or plunge a sword into the heart of a griffon in one mighty strike.
Crumbling
The dead do not rest easily in the Old World. Those summoned by Vampires and Necromancers no longer have mortal concerns - they serve only their master's will.
Disintegrating
The Dark Magic binding has failed. Both flesh and necromantic energy slough off the subjects, leaving naught but dust.
Attributes
Can Cause Fear
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
Encourage
This unit provides a leadership bonus to nearby allies. Units within range of both the 
Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Undead
Strengths & Weaknesses
Anti-Infantry
Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a 
damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that affects a large area.
Armoured & Shielded
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from 
Armour-Piercing damage. 
Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
