@Oombrella:

You are my personal hero. Seriously. I am searching for months, maybe years for a solution for this bug and you just did it. A nice visual overhaul and no mor "fleshneck" for Malekith.

It's an awesome mod make Malekith look like witch king of Angmar(even both of them are witch kings).Well done!

Sure. Should be fixed now.

@Oombrella:

Could you apply this fix to your other Malekith mod as well?

I like the design of your "no snarl" mod, but the vanilla "apply dismemberment effect to himself" bug is an issue....

Thanks for the patch! Started a new game and tested it out, Malekith can now get nice and bloody in the front-lines again. Much appreciated, glad this skin is still getting love, don't think I can ever go back to the snarly mask.

Never mind I think I fixed it. The issue was that when Malekith beheaded an enemy he would instead apply the dismemberment effect to himself. I can't touch animations to fix this, but by removing the stumps I can stop them for appearing.

I also fixed the face appearing by removing blood from it. Probably should've done that when I first made the mod but what ever.

@Kasten looked into it and it's a vanilla bug that you can see even with no mods. Something to do with sync kills. I can't fix it.

for some reason when malekith gets blood on him his face becomes visible under the helmet, and even weirder his neck looses its armor and becomes all fleshy.

Looks cool, but his eyes are not evil enough, its quasi-evil, margarine of evil, they are Diet Coke of evil.
Just one calorie, not evil enough

Hey its like the classic art of him. Well done!

Am I the one person out there who actually likes the snarl? It perfectly fits Malekith.

That's not to say this design isn't bad-ass, it's a phenomenal reskin, for sure. But I do still feel like the snarl fits him. He's one pissed off, angry, bitter, buttmad kinda dude.

Thanks for the reply

Darn, I mean I'm glad because this cool ass helmet model made me start a new playthrough with him lol. But I still don't know what could be causing such a weird bug.

Absolutely not. It's likely your other mods.

I have a lot of mods but few affecting Malekith directly

Could this be causing malekith to not have a fly option with Seraphon? For some reason he is stuck on the ground for me.

Nice

It's a cosmetic mod so it'll rarely need updating. Inform me of any issues if there are though.

update? also VERY COOL

It looks great, thanks!

Ok done. Still can't get emissive effects to work in the port-hole but he shouldn't look cross-eyed now.

Yeah I see what you mean. Gonna fix it in a sec.

Hi, I really like the look, and I want to use it, but when testing it seemed like there's something weird about the texture of his eyes when they're not hidden by the glow (eg. in the porthole). His irises look like they're wall-eyed (they're misaligned and both looking outward from centre). The glow obscures it in his actual model in battle, but in the porthole and character screen it's visible and it makes him look like he's doing a derpy face.

Assuming this isn't just a problem on my end somehow, would it be possible for you to take a look at his eye textures? This might seem like nitpicking, but to me the porthole derp face is quite distracting and kind of takes away from the fearsome majesty that this mod otherwise evokes.

Shouldn't need one.

Update?

Best Malekith reskin, great work

Oh thanks a lot ! I just gave it a try with Guv's shieldless maletkith mod and it works like a charm. Thanks again!

Creating a shield-less variant would require things I don't actually know how to do; at least to make it look good it would. However; this mod should be compatible with with any mod that does remove the shield as long as it's loaded after.

Love your mod, it's the closest to my favourite depictions of Malekith I've seen. Ever thought of doing a shieldless variant? In the depictions, Malekith's often portrayed with his blade and a free hand to cast hios spells :p
Anyway thanks for this mod!

Well, unless you're not both using it, I can't fathom why there would be issues.

tried to play with someone using just this mod but its not possible in multiplayer so it doesn't work at all

I'm not sure how multiplayer works in regards to modding; did you both have it installed? AFAIK you need to both use the mod and have it in the same load-order.

Just spent over an hour weeding out which mod was preventing me and someone else from playing multiplayer together, and it turned out to be Malekith's stupid face XD

So fyi, this mod won't work in multiplayer, lmao

Ah man, now i feel bad for making fun of the Crispy King. Amazing work dude, we love ya!

Dunno why but getting a CTD from this with my modlist. Might it conflict with Druchii reskins or something?

Finally! I was hoping someone would give Malekith his old school look. I don't totally hate the total war redesign, but I always preferred the classic look.

Wow so cool! Love it nice job

YES! THE GODS HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!

*drops a tear in 6th edition army book nostalgia*

Guess you did it they finally took you serious.. Malekith

This is dope! Love leaning into the clear Vader inspirations like this, huge improvement on the original design IMO.

Yo this is pretty cool

that cool!

Tanks chu, so much, I have been waiting for someone to make a mod like this since WH2 first came out, chu are my hero!

Yeah, they don't give him the only helmet that i think goes well with his appearance though. Ah well, fair enough.

Sorry but I don't do mods by request. There are some other mods that give Mannfred a helmet though.

Could you please make a version of mannfred von carstein with a helmet and perhaps some gauntlets?
The red dukes vanilla helmet in particular.

Operatively. On the part of the author DE-Reborn, it was very blasphemous to use the head of Alith Anar for Malekith :)

Updated with what may be a fix. DE-Reborn changed a VMD for Malekith so I added my own. Should work loaded after now.

Doesn't work, need to manually remove Malekith from that mod
