New Armored Skeleton

New miniature from the unfortunately named Willy Miniatures.

A small outfit from Germany, they specialize in the rather niche market of fantasy football miniatures (literal fantasy.)  Therefore, the new miniature is unarmed, seeing as how he is supposed linebacker or something.

I'm not a fantasy football player by any stretch (who is?) but many of their models can easily do duty in a fantasy army.  They can easily be converted to hold a weapon, or maybe just stand on their own with solely their mighty fists of fury.  This one actually has a spiked gauntlet already.

It's a nice sculpt, and will fit into any of my heavily armored units, either in my standard medieval skeletal army or perhaps my smaller chaos skeletal army.  (I take outlandishly armored figs and sometimes form them into a chaos knight unit or two.)

Just to note, Willy Miniatures bills this as a "wight", following a number miniature companies that call any heavily armored skeleton "wights".  Wights are ethereals. A proper wight model would be a skeletal upper half with an etheral, ghostly mist for the lower half.  This is an armored skeleton.
