NOTE: This post is for Reav3 I'm making this in order to know which skins are getting a new splash art (this is for the list of champion VUs that Reav3 posted a while back)

Here's the list (in no particular order): Nidalee, Trundle, Tristana, Sion, Miss Fortune, Alistar, Kassadin, Gangplank, Twitch, Fiora, Karthus, Maokai, Karma, Garen, Morgana, Sivir, Sona, Annie, Renekton, Nasus & Heimerdinger.

Now I will make a run-down for each skin getting a new splash art: Nidalee - French Maid, Pharaoh, Bewitching, Snow Bunny and Leopard Trundle - Traditional, Junkyard and Lil'Slugger Tristana - Riot Girl, Rocket Girl, Buccaneer, Firefighter, Guerrilla and Earnest Elf Sion - Lumberjack, Hextech, Barbarian and Warmonger Miss Fortune - Secret Agent, Road Warrior, Waterloo, Cowgirl and Candy Cane Alistar - Black, Golden, Matador. Longhorn, Unchained and Infernal Kassadin - Festival, Deep One, Pre-Void and Harbinger Gangplank - Spooky, Toy Soldier, Minuteman and Sailor Twitch - Whistler Village, Kingpin, Vandal, Gangster and Medieval Fiora - Royal Guard and Nightraven Karthus - Statue of Karthus, Phantom and Grim Reaper Maokai - Charred, Totemic and Festive Karma - Sakura, Sun Goddess and Traditional Garen - Sanguine, Desert Trooper, Commando, Dreadknight and Rugged Morgana - Sinful Succulence and Exiled Sivir - Warrior Princess, PAX, Spectacular, Bandit and Huntress Sona - Silent Night, Muse and Guqin Annie - Annie in Wonderland, Prom Queen, Frostfire, Reverse and FrankenTibbers Renekton - Outback, Rune Wars and Bloodfury Nasus - Galactic, Riot K-9, Pharaoh and Dreadknight Heimerdinger - Alien Invader, Snowmerdinger, Piltover Customs and Blast Zone

To be clear, this is just a list that we would like to get too, if time and resources permit. Things can always change and strategies can always change, which can change resource allocation. So these all aren't guaranteed to get done, and also could go at a slow pace as big VGU's always take priority (For example we had to put a temporary hold on these old skin splashes to get Tarics new skin splashes out the door.)

For the time being though our goal is to get through as many of these as we can. Now about your questions.

Are you missing any?

Mafia MF Black thorn Morgana Ghost Bride Morgana Arcade Sona

Ones you added that we weren't planning on updating (Though this could always change)

Rugged Garen Dreadnaught Garen

Is there any particular Reason to include Morgana on the list?

She's on the list since we did a minor VU on her and we had a nearly complete Blade Mistress Splash. We decided to just finish the Blade Mistress one though and ship it so she went down considerably in priority. We may just exclude her from the list and will re asses when we get trough some of the greater offenders.

Who else is on the list?

That's the current list. Not to say we won't ever update any other splash art as things tend to change over time, but for now that's the list.

If we threw in Singed, Tryndamere, Ashe?, Janna, Kayle, Twisted Fate, Sejuani and Master Yi

you'd have a lot more skin splashes to update

but what Dwarven said, why isn't Singed on the list?

I think it's a mistake to change the traditional skins. Those skins kept their characters' original art to be a throwback to what they once were. To change them would be a disservice to the skins, because they're meant to represent champions that frankly no longer exist. Trundle wouldn't be the same without that splash. When that goes, his character truly dies. Same for Karma. Please don't change the Traditional splashes...
