Male Death Knight Reforged

Death Knights were once virtuous defenders of Humanity. However, once the Paladin ranks were disbanded by the failing Alliance, many of these holy warriors traveled to the quarantined lands to ease the suffering of those left within the plague-ridden colonies. Though the Paladins were immune to disease of any kind, they were persecuted by the general populace who believed that they had been infected by the foul plague. A small band of Paladins, embittered by society's cruelty, traveled north to find the plague's source. These renegade Paladins succumbed to bitter hatred over the course of their grueling quest. When they finally reached Ner'zhul's icy fortress in Northrend they had become dark and brooding. The Lich King offered them untold power in exchange for their services and loyalty. The weary, vengeful warriors accepted his dark pact, and although they retained their humanity, their twisted souls were bound to his evil will for all time. Bestowed with black, vampiric Runeblades and , Death Knights serve as the Scourge's mightiest generals.

The cloak looks very ugly on the mounted version. Try using the tattered version from Arthas or remove it alltogether.
 
Remove the LODs to reduce filesize, please.

Also, a couple of suggestions:
-Adding some particle effects to the sword would look awesome (maybe reddish to fit the blood dk vibe that you're delivering).

-Perhaps making a version with a goatee and/or black eyes, akin to Warcraft 3 classic's DK, would look nice. Just a suggestion, since you need to edit the model either way for the LOD thing.
 
I updated the model to reforged animation,you should look at model preview
wow thanks, is that the description continues to say that it uses classic animations
