The Lich King

This bundle is marked as director's cut. It exceeds all expectations and excels in every regard.
There he is, the Lich King himself.

Give credit where credit is due. I'd like to thank everybody for their input and help during the making this model.

P.S. Don't even think about complaining about the poly count -- you're basically supposed to have only one Lich King in your map. The same goes for file size -- If you want a crap texture, feel free to drop the quality.

P.P.S. If you play the Walk animation in Magos, it will glitch near the right shoulder. Ignore it. In-game there's no glitch.

THIS IS FOR ALL THOSE NAY-SAYERS: THIS IS NOT A WOW MODEL. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY, YOU ARE UNABLE TO PROVE YOUR STATEMENT. I CAN PROVIDE ~10 WIP FILES AND WILL ENJOY CRUSHING YOUR CLAIMS TO DUST.

Just saving myself time to reply to all those worthless posts.

1.5 - Changed Frostmourne.
1.4 - Minor modifications. Improved helm texture
1.3 - Modified the Spell Throw particles, Frostmourne changes color during Spell Throw animation, Frostmourne glow fades away during death.
1.2 - Fixed a minor bug that came with the 1st update
1.1 - Fixed the tinting on the face

Holy Frick, this is awesome. Only criticism is just what the others have said: The attack swings are a little weak. But seriously, who cares? It doesn't take away from the model at all.

Incredible job. 5/5.

Holy Crepe! This is an absolutely amazing model! I thought General Frank had made the best one but (no offence Frank but...) this one is amazing! Frank's filesize is better but by definition of looks and functionality, this is truely an amazing model!

:O of course this is better then GF's! You can clearly tell on his it was made on artha's model, and doesn't look as smooth as it does on this..

Infact this pretty much looks like the one in WoW, GF's doesn't.

But actually judging from the angle, the sword is a bit small, his sword is pretty large, but not huge, the fact that hes bulky makes it seem even smaller.

great model, but i see it being even better, i think his face shouldn't be that dark , or else he just looks like a nazgul , so i find his face could be "a tiny bit lighter" , and his eyes glow blue , they are sorta glowing white right now i find.


for his walk admin maybe a lil more sword movement? .sorta looks like hes on an escalator :p . well this sure beats general franks own even as it is, but im sure if the creator wants, he can make it even more epic!!!

well + rep and 4.2/5 from me. if those changes go in . 5/5 :p

Wow! This is awesome! This is by far the best Lich King on Hive! :D Though, I have to agree with Pyritie, the death is rather awkward for this character. But everything to the effect on the sword... pure epicness! You have created a very find masterpeice. :D

That's just the camera angle. In modelviewer and ingame, the sword is the appropiate size.
