Barrow-wights

"Get out you old Wight! Vanish in the sunlight!"

-The Fellowship of the Ring, Book One, Chapter VIII: Fog on the Barrow-downs

Two Barrow-wights from the Fog on the Barrow-downs-box

Though they don't appear in the films, these Barrow-wights are excellent miniatures, if you ask me. I've painted the clothing Shadow Grey over a Chaos Black undercoat, followed by lighter drybrushes of Codex Grey mixed in. The skin is Camo Green drybrushed with Rotten Flesh to give them a deadish look. The armour is painted Shining Gold, washed with Chestnut Ink, and then lightly drybrushed Burnished Gold and Mithril Silver.
