You mentioned that contrary to several of the other kinds of undead there wasn't that much source material to gather on wights. I think it was Denis who said that on stream.
Well other than undead blitzers in Blood Bowl being called wights, the number 1 piece of source material I know of is Tolkien's barrow wights. These undead are not just corpses that have come back to life, but as I understand they are corpses buried in the Barrow Downs possessed by evil spirits commanded by Sauron to take over the dead and walk again. So there is previous literature to support this idea of a wight as some manner of construct.
What makes it all so amazing is that of all the classes we have been shown, the wight is in my opinion the most uniquely Deadhaus' own.
I am having a hard time expressing how gosh dang pumped I am to see how they take shape. A+ on the art and A+ for the lore. Nailed it.
