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

Probably the most epic model on the hive so far...And that's saying a lot, there are tons of epic models in here, but none of them is an walking lich king. Even makes..I think it even was general franks model...Of the lich king. (although it is grand too.) five out of five, enough said.

This is the best highquality model ive ever seen 4/5
The castanimation could be better, just move the hand forward is boring

This model takes up around 230 kb, after reducing the quality of the texture.
So it is not that much space, compared to how awesome it is.
I like it how the sword looks so much like Frostmourn.
Anyone saying diffrently should check out how frostmourn looks like:

BEST MODEL EVER MADE FOR WARCRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriosuly dude this model rules, perfectly done!!!!!!
 
New update!

- Modified the Spell Throw particles
- Frostmourne changes color during Spell Throw animation
- Frostmourne glow fades away during death.
- Models ran through the MDX Squisher to save map space (does not show the new size in editor)
- Frostmourne glow changed to a different shade of blue
- Frostmourne has a bluish tint now

P.S. The best viewing experience is in-game. Magos exaggerates the particles and glitches the walk animation on the shoulder.
