Uh... How many polies is this? Looks kinda too high to me, but the model is awsome! you may not have that much experience with Wc3 modelling, but It looks like you have an esthetic sense.

Suggestions:
Right now the cape look a little too patchy, should not be like stragiht down and right out, more like diagonal and more diagonal.
Also the feet... Are they done? 'cause they look a little wierd to me.

Oh and by the way
He most def needs hair flowing out the back of his helm, it needs to be the perfect Arthas w/Ner'zhul representation
AND! Needs sick particle emitters on his eyes and on Frostmourne
 
That thing is too overpolied. If you want to use this for wc3, it will fail. NEVER make a model with more than 3000 polies to be used in wc3. Also, although that thing does have many polies it is completely undetailed. I suggest you to try optimizing the mesh OR starting one from scratch. This simply won't work. Anyway, proportions are messed up, as well as anatomy (look at stomach for example, nerzul is not fat).

Inf3rno, do you have the option of exporting to .obj, or perhaps some other standardized format I can open in Milkshape? I could optimize the mesh for you, and make a version for ms3d users to animate.

Be warned though, I will radically lower the polycount while trying to keep the overall detail.
 
just out of curiosity, why the hell was the other lich king model turned down? that one looked so awesome.

*edit* never mind i just read the other topic on ur old one, i see why now... a shame though i liked it.

GF got pissed that Inf3rno was using his BE Champion as a base, so it was turned down. Personally, I agree with HT, that if it is not scratch, you can copy it. The BE Champ was a model edit and some geomerges really, but it looks hella cool.

there was another reason the helms geoset one abit broken in the game it would only show half his helm
