Well, it will be Valentine (as well as Shrove Saturday in my country o_o) soon in here and what do I post up as pre-Valentine deviation?
This freaky animation of a Lich (with differently-colored vambraces than the original 3 models as well!)! LOL I bet that warrior1944 would be proud of me ... sort of, like Judge Death being proud of his newest novice`s attempts of making the living wonder if he/she is mad crazy with all undead hassle.

So yeah, this is how Liches legitimately look like in Might and Magic VI! Vastly different than in the next installments (Might and Magic VII where they take their Heroes of Might and Magic III forms and Might and Magic IX, where they get bazillion times more freaky images9.gry-online.pl/galeria/… ... and their top tier being the handsomest and the freakiest of them all! game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/… ) just to be then totally revamped by Ubisoft to look more flesh- and leper-like, which rings all the wrong bells with me and is one of many reasons I don`t think much in going to Ashan in other games (Might and Magic Heroes VI and Might and Magic X: Legacy) except in Dark Messiah. And even then I have different reasons in going to Ashan through that game and Liches are not one of them No offense intended, Ashan fans, since we all know that Lich-changes in both Enroth and Ashan are vastly different, thus their respectible Liches look differently as well.
How to you make a Lich in Enroth? This would be the closest explanation that 3DO and new World Computing has given us: i.imgur.com/FAhfA.jpg and even that is only revealed when we play Might and Magic VII and our party joins the Necromancers of Deyja. Basically, this is how the Ritual of the Endless Night goes through and once the new-made Lich arises, their phylactery needs to be in their close proximity if not on their person almost all the time (maybe that`s the reason we can kill Liches so easily in both MM6 and MM7?), even though there is a suspicion that Liches in Jadame (aka MM8) don`t need to be so personally tied to their phylacteries. But well, it could also be that the Ritual performed there is different as well and as a result the new-made Liches don`t need to carry their Soul Jars with them (which is literally a jar with gross content in VII, believe me. And if you lose it, well, in time you will lose your Lich as well, so keep it on their person ALL THE TIME! Really, because I tested it myself!), just like it`s different in Might and Magic IX, which takes place on Axeoth (after Enroth had gone boom and probably killed almost everyone we got to know on Enroth ), where Liches are made with the aid of of a weird brew and a giant machine inside the Lich Lab. Pretty complicated, but I guess this is the reason the biggest amount of Liches found on Axeoth are inside the Lich Lab.

I hope you don`t mind me posting this wall of text in here It`s almost all info for anyone that is not as familiar with the franchise of Might and Magic prior Ubisoft`s Ashan as I am.

I take no credit in creating this thing, just animating it for the web! The real creators of it are 3DO and New World Computing for making and animating them first for Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven + Cyrus Annihilator that had ripped the sprites off the game and made them available for everyone of us to see (and to change + animate, no matter if Ubisoft would not be happy with this at all, methinks).

And yes, these Liches have Thundercat symbols on their belt buckles, LOL!!! And I can prove it all as well by comparing their belt buckles with the ThunderCats Logo Apparently that is a little Easter Egg between many others the game hides. So ... yeah, Thundercat fans, are you all Liches nowadays?
