Breakfast Topic: Your Four Horsemen

On this fine Sunday morning, we're going to play a game of 'what if.' As you may or may not know, The Four Horsemen is an encounter in the Naxxramas raid dungeon, loosely based on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In the Scourge, the Four Horsemen are basically the top dog Death Knights, the best they have to offer. We don't know a ton about each of the Horsemen, but we know enough to know that they're pretty hardcore.What if the Lich King and the Scourge were to win the war in Northrend? What if they totally whooped our butts, and wash over Azeroth unopposed, then moved on to bigger and better things like taking out their adversaries the Burning Legion? With all of the heroes of Azeroth at their disposal to raise as the Undead, who do you think would be the new Four Horsemen? Pick from anybody in Warcraft history, alive or dead. Death is meaningless to the Scourge, after all.
My picks? Highlord Bolvar Fordragon, High Overlord Saurfang, Anduin Lothar, and Tirion Fordring. Obvious choices? Yeah, probably. You gotta admit though, those four riding on the side of the Scourge would be pretty bad news for whoever is on the other side of the battlefield. I considered Uther as well, but personal preference puts the other four on top. So what are your draft picks? Don't worry about lorelol or anything like that. Comedy answers are fine. Picking people just because they're cool is fine, too.

Grand Anchorite Almonen, Magistrix Fyalenn, High Priestess Ishanah, and Voren'thal the Seer.
The four most powerfull people in Shattrath, basicly.

Orgrim Doomhammer
Anduin Lothar
Some tauren - They are the toughest race but doesn't have any badass tough guy as we know
Some dwarf - Pretty much the same as the tauren
Everyone else that is cool is just magic cheaters... or not cool enough

Uther the Lightbringer
Antonidas
Malfurion Stormrage
Muradin Bronzebeard
Antonidas was a warcraft OG. no one ever talks about that poor guy. He only what... Taught Jaina everything she knows.
Kirtan Aug 31st 2008 11:14AM
as far as I know, Malfurion and Muradin aren't dead =P
trogdor7 Aug 31st 2008 12:27PM
Muradin is dead, it's Magni and Brann who are still alive.
Chris Anthony Aug 31st 2008 1:31PM
Er... and Fordragon, Saurfang, and Fordring *are* dead? Of the OP's list, only Lothar is dead.

Muradin ain't dead. That's Wrath's big-ass retcon. He walked out of Frostmourne Cavern alive, so I think he actually might be the fourth horseman, taking the place of Alexandros Mograine, the only one who has been permanently removed from that lineup.
That or he'll show up in Icecrown during the Arthas fight to help you.
Thiosion Sep 1st 2008 3:36PM
@magicswordking
Rivendare is the fourth Horseman.
Skuling Aug 31st 2008 8:46AM
Thrall, Grom, Uther and Illidan.
Because that would just be win. Also Arthas know both Uther and Illidan, so hes more likley to choose those two. And thrall and grom because they're a winning combination!
