This is my entry for the 3rd HD Modeling Contest:

The Cold Wraith
"Death is here, and it's cold!

The few surviving Warlocks who were captured along with Ner'zhul by the Legion were transformed into spectral apparitions of living cold.
Renamed Cold Wraiths, the damned spirits became twisted and evil. Filled with the desire to inflict pain and suffering,
these former magic users now serve their Lich King without question and use their newfound necromantic powers in his name.

When Kel'Thuzad tried to escape from Naxxramas, in Northrend, after seeing its horrors,
a group of Cold Wraiths spoke to him saying that he could not escape and even if he did escape no one would believe his story.

Bound to the iron will of the Lich King, they served the Scourge as the first mages alongside the lichs,
who were created from the souls of former death knights. But casualties during the wars dwindled their numbers until they were
rarely found outside the necropolises or other centers of power of the Scourge.


Update, 05.10.: Portrait file finally became uploadable for me. Everything is now where it should be.

I wished this would be how the Liches in WarCraft would actually look like!

Pretty. In an undead nightmare-fuel kind of way.

Can you do a version that instead of ice has the disease cloud effect around him? Like a Plague Wraith?

I like that idea and was thinking a non-scourge type with maybe fel-tinted but as lore wise goes there is only Cold Wraiths of the Scourge. I’ve been trying to come up with some ideas for a mini Drak’Thul campaign taking place after the Tomb of Sargeras and figured something like this would be fitting for the Stormreaver warlocks/necrolytes that fell in battle. A Twilight’s Hammer skeleton grunt/archer would also be fitting to go with the available Blackrock/Blacktooth grin skeleton units from Hive and the pre-existing neutral units in-game.
