Any suggestions for a 25/28mm barrow wight figure? I'd initially planned to use a wraith figure, then I realized that (in LOTR) Frodo cuts off its arm and can see the arm squirming, so it apparently wasn't invisible.

My theory is that a barrow wight would make a good leader for a band of draugr for my Vikings to fight.

Technically, a wight is just another word for "man." Tolkien's "barrow wight" appears to be a reference to Norse and Germanic folklore undead creatures often called "draugr." They're sort of a combination of zombie and vampire, without the voodoo of one and the superpowers (and restriction baggage) of the other. I'd look at armored zombies, "revenants," ghouls, etc.. (Mantic has a nice "revenant" armored zombie fig that's part of their Dungeon Saga line.)
