Arkhan the Black: Skull Mode

Description
A simple enough in function mod: Replaces Arkhan's head with a skull. The idea for the change mostly came from his official art, concept art and his AoS miniature. In each of these instances he has a clean skull. I suppose CA changed their mind about giving him a skull just to make him fall in line with other Tomb King LLs better when it came to his design. Or wanted to have a better transition from his dried out corpse body to him having a skull. The mod also fixes tiny issues with his cape when zoomed out and some transparency issues.

About the mummy body remaining: I've looked through a lot of his references to decide whenever or not I should leave it. His concept art and his miniature have the mummy body still showing out like that. Yet there is some older official art which shows a bit of armor around his waist. Josh Reynolds in his blog even said that Arkhan's head might not even be his own, as it was replaced after his decapitation which led to his initial death.


Compability: This mod is a graphical one and focuses only on his character model files. .wsmodel, rigid file, .dds textures and .variantmeshes file. Otherwise it should be compatible with nearly anything out there.

Nice!
Well I hope one day you about it! I agree it'd be a bit of modelling ^^

I was actually considering(mostly when I was browsing Nagash old models for the Azhag mod's shitpost image), but that would require me to do quite a bit of work. I'll put it on an idea list, though.

Any chance of having him as his old stylish Necromancer in Robes ? :D
I would kill for someone to do 5th edition skeletons warriors & heroes! x)

I don't get it, isn't his head already a skull?

Don't think that'd stop his bad habit of chewin roots though.
