The Lich King

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
My son

The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name... Arthas.

My child

I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon of righteousness.

Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength,

and I know you will show restraint when exercising your great power.

But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people.

I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end,

You shall be King.


Arthas, the Lich King. Lord of the Scourge, wielder of Frostmourne, and master of the Helm of Domination. From atop his throne in Icecrown Citadel he watches, waiting to emerge from his frozen realm to bring the gift of undeath to all Azeroth. For the Legion will return and Azeroth must be prepared to stop the demon hordes. Will you play as him? Defeat him in glorious combat? Or use him in an epic cinematic! The choice is yours.


Made using Retera's Model Studio from Reforged assets (Evil Arthas, Arthas with sword, and the Lich King Cinematic models). Recolored using GIMP. Tested in game, should work fine for a boss, hero, or creep unit. Includes hero glow and emissives for Frostmourne as well as some cool icy mist effects, all of which were present in the source models. Icon image was sourced from Hearthstone artwork and edited to more closely match Reforged aesthetics.

CHANGELOG:

9/19/2020 - Removed excess emitters and ribbon effects.
Added glow to the eyes.
9/22/2020 - Added portrait model with animations from Arthas_with_sword.
Adjusted sword placement for more precise grip in attack animation.
9/26/2020 - Added BTN and DISBTN Icons.
10/04/2020 - Resized Icons to 256x256

Mr Ogre man
See Lich King Reforged Great job either way!
very nice model, only need voice then it would be perfect

If I upload his voice files that would be a WoW port, but I guess I could do that. I'm not sure how to implement them in game but I would like to at some point.

Still no Lich King Bolvar. Sadly.
That would be pretty cool! Maybe someday :peasant-thumbs-up-cheers:

I bet now that he's gotten up from the throne it will be easier to port him over, at the very least.

A lip Sync would be epic, and also the sword particle emitter points upwards
 
So I download and test the model. Does It have no proper portrait with "talk" animations or did I just miss something?

I am working on getting those but for now it’s just the model. Plans for the future!

I would like to do a lip sync! You should redownload the model, I fixed the particle emitters last night. If you did redownload and it’s still bugged please let me know!
