Lich King Reforged

The model edited by ReteraModelStudio.
Thanks Retera for making this magical tool.
I use the Arthas Unmounted model made by Holyravioli then added Lich King helm,eye glow and frost effect to Frostmourne.

How to import this model:Just import all 5 files to your map(LichKingReforged.mdx,LichKingReforged_portrait.mdx,LichKingArthasEyeGlow.blp,LichKingArthasParticle1.blp and LichKingArthasParticle2.blp) and remove "war3mapImported\" of LKArthasParticle1.blp,LKArthasParticle2.blp and LichKingArthasEyeGlow.blp,the model will work.
Hope you enjoy this model.

UPDATE:Fix the bug of Dissipate animation.

24/9/2020:Fix the sword issue,sword's particle more fit to the sword,back hair no cover the helmet
Add Lich King with Symphoneum 's texture.
Add Lich King's icon with normal version and Symphoneum's texture
version.

04/10/2020:Add Lich King Reforged With Wow Animation and Lich King Reforged With Wow Animation combine with Symphoneum 's texture
The model have lip sync too.

13/2/2021:Reduce file size all model by removing LOD geoset
24/11/2021: Finally,I can update hands of Lich King Wow Animation,I highly recommend if you are using Lich King WoW animation,download updated version for better visual.

Mr Ogre man
Out of every Arthas model, this one looks and works the best. As Retera summarized in this image: Props to @Retera , @Malmgrev , @Symphoneum and @HolyRavioli ravioli for making your own renditions of this iconic character. The rest of the models...
Face color is black..
I think head and neck is covered by the helm so it will good if I make the face black,it will create an effect like shadow.I tried a normal version but it look not as good as the black version.

Congratulations friend. It was very good!
Thanks you.

awesome! can anyone add to this model the animation that the lich king does when he puts the sword into the ground?
 
What are the permissions regarding texturing this model? I thought it might look good with the textures from @Symphoneum from this link:
The Lich King

If I get Symphoneum's approval, @Z1003 are you OK with people using this model combined with the Symphoneum textures?

I don't know if you would be interested but if you want I don't mind if you use the icon I have on my LK, too. It's edited from Hearthstone artwork. I can also make a version with gilt armor to match your version if you would like.
Thank you,I like your icon:peasant-grin: but I sugget that you should add color in the background.

Edit:~ i have tested the LK with wow animation, i noticed the swing back sound is a weird combination with the lk's slow attack overall its awesome.

is awesome..
can someone explain me how to rename the names of the animations? for example "cinematic kneel start" into "spell slam"?

Props to @Retera , @Malmgrev , @Symphoneum and @HolyRavioli ravioli for making your own renditions of this iconic character. The rest of the models will be moved to substandard to prevent clogging the model section (I love that you're repurposing Symphoneum's texture).

Got the model into the game by naming the model file undeadarthas.mpx and saving it in the Warcraft III\retail\units\undead\evilarthas folder. This makes the model replace the normal death knight model, but when i summon him in game something glitches out with the particle effect. Anyone know where i misstepped

You import wrong path for custom texture, if you use local file, you should put 3 custom textures in "warcraft III" folder not " Warcraft III\retail\units\undead\evilarthas"

the pathing of the textures is just to locate the right texture files right? because the model looks fine when i open it in retera's model studio. changing the location of the textures and pathing didnt change the way the model looks in game... i might be missundarstanding u though :S im new to this

the path I set for custom textures is "LKArthasParticle1.blp,LKArthasParticle2.blp and LichKingArthasEyeGlow.blp" ,if you use local files(put model in "retail_" folder ) the path of 3 custom textures will be "units\undead\evilarthas\LKArthasParticle1.blp,bla bla" so if you put outside retail folder the path will be right.Maybe you don't understand because my english isn't good.

I would like this model without a helmet ...
I tried to remove it, but there is damaged hair on the head and is different from the head of the original Arthas

You should make his face black underneath the helmet not brown. That adds tremendously to badass factor.

I believe that it is just the shadows from the helmet darkening his face.
It is true to some extent, It's the shadow darkening his face but It's also shadow energy from the Helmet of Domination and it's an aesthetic choice on top of everything. If Lich King didn't have that darkened face he wouldn't be as cool as he is that's why I gave a suggestion to just make it black. I mean just google Lich King and compare pictures with shadow and without shadow, difference is huge.
