If you could've raised your own four horsemen...

[rarhyx]

... who would it be and why?

My choices

Teron Gorefiend:
The first death knight to be raised once more... why not?
would also explain in a (few) quest(s) why he joined Illidan in Outland
and when he dies in Black Temple he says. "The wheel spins again...". would make sense imo.

Broxigar Saurfang:
with a bit of a stretch during the events of the legions invasion they found a portal to the place where brox died. (or sth similar how to obtain his body)
he gets buried where we raised nazgrim. so we can resurrect him.
I bet he wouldn't say no to get another chance to fight the legion

Renault Mograine:
To repay for his betrayel ofc. also like whitemane death cleansed his mind.

Leotheras the Blind:
like renault/whitemane trough death he lost his madness and is now an undead demon hunter to destroy the burning legion.

(*Darion:
acting as a fifth horsemen but didn't have to die, he just got "promotede")


who would you like to have as your horsemen?

[Deleted]

If only varian hadn't turned to ash... He would be my first horseman!

I'm also quite tempted to raise Arthas. Just to see what would happen
Same goes for Garrosh Hellscream.

Perhaps even go to alternate dreonor and get Maraad.

[ItachiZaku]

The burned on a pyre thing ruins my wanting Cairne Bloodhoof as a horseman, but if that's allowed. Assuming Brox is AWOL, I wouldn't mind going back and finding Ga'nar. Grand Apo Putress cuz that voice. And round it out with Kael'thas.

So, assuming ash is good enough:
Cairne Bloodhoof
Ga'nar
Putress
Kael'thas

[Sencha]

- Tinky Winky
- Dipsy
- Laa-Laa
- Po

[bubbadubba]

Broxigar-Be my front man, basically Nazgrim on roids.
Anduin Lothar- Commander/tactician
Fandral Staghelm- I would try to rise him to see what a Druid that is susceptible to corruption would be like. Flame Erupting Undead Catform...
Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan- caster/summoner, would be good at raising an army.

[Deleted]

only ones i can think of that would be interesting choices would be long(er) dead ones

Anduin Lothar, Orgrim Doomhammer, durotan (thrall's dad), king sunstrider (kael's dad), admiral proudmoore (jaena's dad)

or from draenor

maraad, orgrim doomhammer, velen

[Silakka]

- Tinky Winky
- Dipsy
- Laa-Laa
- Po

Teletubbies as horsemen Some scary shit there. Nightmares for days

[Angeredsoul]

Maarad
Voljin
Instructor Razuvius
Cairne Bloodhoof

[Nero Duskwind]

Garrosh Hellscream: Self-explanatory. Nobody would carry out my will with more brutal efficiency
Uther Lightbringer: Need a wise, unifying, and tactical mind whose affinity to the Light rivals that of Sir Zeliek.
High General Brigitte Abbendis: Her fervor to a cause would prove vital spread my influence.
Modimus Anvilmar: No other reason than I want to raise an ancient Thane to my service.

[Zandalariprelate]

The only one I would change would be Darion for Zul'jin or maybe Thoras, soulpriest tulanii maybe too

[De Lupe]

All of my choices were burned to ash after they died, so my horsemen aren't possible.

Well, most of them. I'd take Garrosh as my fourth only for the irony of the "pure" Orc conqueror now being my personal bitch.

[Rixarius]

Vol'jin would've been such a badass horseman.

uhh teron is on the legions side though >_> so umm yeah.... it would not make sense because then he would just betray you and join the legion...

- - - Updated - - -

varian
uther
Tirion
Lothar

cause human squad ftw!
2 pallies 2 warriors
FOR THE ALLIANCE!

[misterbeefy117]

Tirion Fordring - I like the original concept Blizz was going to use of raising Fordring. Supposedly it was going to spark some big thing between the DKs and the Paladins for raising their former leader, and that would have been awesome to see.

Sally Whitemane - She remains because she's my waifu

Brigitte Abbendis/Renault Mograine/Saidan Dathrohan - I'm just a huge fan of the Scarlet Crusade and I'd like to see more lore of them pop up, so I'd pick either one of them. Using Saidan Dathrohan could have some cool lore implications for pitting the DKs against the Crusade, but since his body was destroyed, he could be raised as a lich.

Cairne Bloodhoof - If we can still resurrect him despite being cremated, I'd go with with Cairne. He was one of my favorite Horde characters in WC3 and during Vanilla, and I'd love to see him again, as well as the political fallout that'd occur after raising him, much like what's implied with Nazgrim.

uhh teron is on the legions side though >_> so umm yeah.... it would not make sense because then he would just betray you and join the legion...

Also, Teren'gor in alternate Draenor is with the Legion. Teron Gorefiend in our timeline isn't. It's unclear where his true allegiances lie. He never quite sided with the Legion, he just remained loyal to the Warchief of the Horde, who at the time was Gul'dan, who was sowing his allegiances with the Legion and betraying the Horde in the process. Gorefiend was the one who actually convinced Ner'zhul to travel to Azeroth to escape the Legion, so Gorefiend was actually still loyal to the Horde rather than the Legion. So it's very possible that Teron Gorefiend of our timeline could have returned as one of the Four Horsemen. Super unlikely, but not impossible. His actions in Shadowmoon Valley bring doubt to his true allegiances, but he's definitely not allied with the Legion. Remember, in the Black Temple raid, he's sort of working with Illidan (at least enough to be tolerated to remain within the Temple), and Illidan was actively combating the Legion.

[Deleted]

the original four, especially zeliek

[Algorath]

Renault Mograine (Red; Great sword yada yada)
Sir Zeliek (White; Is righteous yada yada)
Kael'thas (Black; Knows famine, yada yada)
Arthas (Pale; Death, yada yada)

[Hoeth]

I feel like in order to be a LK-era Death KNIGHT, one has to have some skill with a blade, so no weakling wizards for me.

Vol'Jin
Maarad
Orgrimm
Lothar

[dirk123]

Anduin Lothar
MU Ogrim Doomhammer or MU Grom Hellscream
Teron Gorefiend or Daelin Proudmoore
AU Kargath Bladefist or AU Blackhand

[scrappybristol]

Nazgrim was a fine choice

Commander Taylor for the bants with Nazgrim would've been great

Maraad as the zealot would've been awesome and would have also diversified the team a little.

Darion is a fine leader for the Horsemen but I would've left him as my second-in-command of Acherus and raised his father as the leader of the Horsemen

[Zigrifid]

I have made my choise
