That happened to me before. Usually, I either just wait a few minutes and it shows up fine, or sometimes it shows up when I attack a unit...

Make sure that you have both models.

Arthas.mdx
Arthas_Portrait.mdx

Don't bother replacing the default skin or model.

Decompile the MDX with the Warcraft III File Converter (the one everyone uses).
After that, open the MDL file up in a text editor and do a search for .blp, and you will find the path to the skin.
Enter a custom path for your skin.
Save the MDL file, and convert it back to an MDX file.
Do the same for the portrait.
Import the MDX file into your map using the Import Manager.
Import the skin BLP file into your map, make sure you use the path you put in the model (click use custom path).
All done! Clean self-contained model with no default units modified.
