Alexandros Mograine, also known as the Ashbringer, was one of the Highlords of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the original wielder of the Ashbringer. A hero of the Alliance of Lordaeron.However, the threat he became to the Scourge and the Burning Legion led the Archlich Kel'Thuzad and the dreadlord Balnazzar to ensure his downfall. By manipulating Renault Mograine, they managed to lead the Highlord to an ambush at Stratholme, where he was murdered by his own son with the Ashbringer. His body and the now corrupted sword were recovered by Kel'Thuzad who made him a death knight, the leader of the Four Horsemen.

I like! But I think ash hair and duller colors would be more appropriate. Because if he just repaints the skin color to "live", then the model will immediately feel "alive". I hope I explained clearly)
this is his canonical lore appearance. Make him ashy hair, etc. would mean a departure from the canon

I know that. At first, I wanted him to use ash hair, but I found that all the information online about him showed that he still had red hair after death 😅
 
Do you plan to make Baron Rivendare and perhaps some other Death Knight figures like the horsemen of the Ebon Blade at some point as well? I really like Rivendare and I think he could make a really good use as a generic male Death Knight model, because the model that Death Knight currently uses for a male variation is basically Arthas and I wish that hero would get a slightly different model from him.

You know what is funny?

The new Horsemen are all Human too, but the one race just changed from Dwarf to a Orc...
Couldn't changed it up at least...

Okay for the hair but as for the armor though, it looks nothing like a Death Knight's one. That (combined with his still flamboyant hair despite his condition), makes it really hard to identify him as an undead. You really should opt for a more "undeadish" armor instead @Mwas :

his official DK armor is not the Maldraxxus one.
Here it is (which also is mwas' referance): https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/w...xxramas.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20221104231242

Only your 3rd link works. Anyway, Maldraxxus' armor, by its appearance, looks far more legitimate as a Death Knight armor than his old bronze armor.

The model is perfect, and the best thing is that there is a rimless version, epic. Thank you so much for so much! You are the best.

And yet it's not canon. This is just how Mograine started to look after entering the afterlife (BEFORE he got there - he didn't have that kind of armor)

That's not my point. Come on, you must have guessed that I wasn't suggesting that Mwas equip Alexandros with the Maldraxxus' armor which isn't even in Warcraft 3 Reforged, I was just suggesting that Mwas equip him with an armor that would looks like it belong to a Death Knight.

Looks to me that the face and body are symmetrical, so I would flip (mirror) the mounted version in Retera just to make him right-handed.

What is wrong with this armor though? It is his cannonical look and he looks like a knight that has.....died. So a Death Knight. In wc3 and wow classic DK' armor were not covered with skull and bones everywhere they were just undead knights.

Not really. 😕

The only Death Knight in Warcraft 3 was Arthas and yes, he did have such armor.
And as for the armors weared by the Death Knights in "World of Warcraft classic", I assume you mean vanilla? Well, I never played it but your argument doesn't really hold water, since this was rectified as early as "Wrath of the Lich King".

Really nice Alexandros, Mwas!

Actually, there are two additional death knights in WC3 (at the very least. If there are more, they're not immediately coming to mind).
They're in the last TFT Night Elf mission, "The Brothers Stormrage" in the two northern undead bases.

I much prefer his appearance from the WoW Ashbringer Comic as well in which he looks pretty much like this....

Kinda annoyed too that they didn't make a unique Death Knight male model for Reforged...
They only did one for the new Death Knight female which is honestly not bad...

I didn't remember there being Death Knights in this mission, but actually that's because all the Undead heroes in this mission are just random ones, so... :pmeh:

They were supposed to give us more goods (and this, for a tidy sum, need I remind you?) not take away those we already had... but that's what they did. :angry:

I know this point, bro. Actually, I admit his armor is lack of elements of death. But from the Blizzard official pictures of Mograine, It is very difficult to find he wears armor in the style of a tradition death knight(like Arthas or Darion Mograine). Only 3 official appreance I can find, the Maldraxxus Version(which u post above, officially, this is not his 4 horsemen appearance), the bald version(the very classic Naxxramas version) and the comic version. If I need to make a Blizzard official appearance model of Mograine in warcraft reforged. I have to follow his comic version appearance and remain his armor look which is from the comic.😅.
But if I don't follow the official appearance, I think maybe I can combine the Maldraxxus armor and the comic looks like this, and try to make his armor looks like there are more elements of death, like this picture or something else. But Ithink the official appearance is relatively safe😅

I think it has a certain dignity to it. I actually prefer it.

Personally, I find the Maldraxxus armor to be too garish. I prefer relatively modest designs. I feel that over the years, WoW has exaggerated certain style choices further and further til they became a bit of an eyesore. The classic design, however, is from when things were still more tasteful. I love it. It doesn't need any more skulls or doodads attached.

Perfection!
I wished a Grey/blueish version of his armor would been Darion's Armor in WoW!
