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. == Attributes == {{wh_main_vmp_cha_wight_king_0_bulletpoints}} == Hero Actions == === Embed Hero === *[[File:experience.png]] Training === Constant Local Effect === *[[File:public_order.png]] Spread Control === Target === *'''Settlement''' * [[File:siege_defence.png]] Assault Garrison *'''Hero''' *[[File:wound_time.png]] Wound *'''Army''' *[[File:disaster.png]] Assault Units == Unit Abilities == === Active Abilities === *[[File:wh_main_character_abilities_heroic_killing_blow.png|38px]] [[Heroic Killing Blow]] *[[File:wh_main_character_abilities_foe_seeker.png|38px]] [[Foe-Seeker]] ==== Campaign only ==== *[[File:wh_main_character_abilities_deadly_onslaught.png|38px]] [[Deadly Onslaught]] === Passive Abilities === *[[File:wh_main_unit_passive_unstable.png]] [[Crumbling]] *[[File:wh_main_unit_passive_unstable_mark_ii.png]] [[Disintegrating]] *[[File:wh3_main_unit_passive_single_entity.png]] [[Wounds]] === Item Abilities (Multiplayer) === *[[File:wh_main_item_abilities_potion_of_strength.png|38px]] [[Potion of Strength (ability)|Potion of Strength]] *[[File:wh_main_weapon_abilities_skabscrath.png|38px]] [[Skabscrath (ability)|Skabscrath]] == Mounts == *[[File:mount_skeletal_steed.png|40px]][[Skeletal Steed (Vampire Counts)|Skeletal Steed]] <small>(WH1 & WH2 only)</small> *[[File:mount_barded_skeletal_steed.png|40px]][[Barded Skeletal Steed]] == Talent Tree == *[https://totalwarhammerplanner.com/planner/vanilla3/vmp_vampire_counts/vmp_wight_king Skill Tree on TotalWarhammerPlanner] == Strategy == {{Strategy}} == Gallery == <gallery> vmp_wight_king_sword_campaign_02_0.png vmp_wight_king_sword_campaign_03_0.png vmp_wight_king_sword_campaign_04_0.png </gallery> {{Navbox Vampire Counts units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer heroes]] [[Category:Summons units]]
