wow Great Looking 4 Horsemen Fan Redesign

[Starym 3,776]

 

The 4 horsemen are one of the more iconic things in WoW, from their original Vanilla Naxxramas roster, to the new Legion one we got from the Death Knight order hall campaign, so it's no wonder Sir Thompshire picked them for a makeover!

In this case it's the new roster that gets some unique-looking sets, as Darion Mograine, General Nazgrim, Sally Whitemane and Thoras Trollbane look pretty pleased with their new, a little more colorful looks. Each gets their own color theme, based on their history and the history of the horsemen that came before them:

These were all done using existing armor and weapon models, with some extra work on top, as SirThompshire elaborates:

Aside from WoW model viewer to export the assets, any combo of image editing software and 3D program should work (in my case it would be Photoshop and C4D, and then Unreal engine just for the rendering)

How much time love and care did you have to invest in this project? - ChristianLW3

I'd say probably around 2-3 hours each on average per character. As for love? All I got, my favourite part of making machinima is the character creation, that's why I've been doing this on the side!

Could you have changed the horns on the shoulders and helm to look like the bone on the rest of the armor pieces? That way you keep the look and it still all matches perfectly - FREE-AOL-CDS

Without any modeling skills all I could have done was swap it out to horns from other models, which I think wouldn't look great, my intent was to try to to make the bone armor look as metal made in the shape of bones, which I think had a decent enough result, but I totally getcha!

Thighs and a fancy hat are what make Whitemane Whitemane. It's definitely an improvement over the crap Blizzard put out, but still. It's really too bad that the forgotten HotS team understands character design so much better than the WoW team. - Lugonn

I think in my mind it was a compromise, if I went with that, whitemane would just be priestess whitemane but dead, that's why I decided to add more "DK" to her, while still leaving some iconic stuff, like the high boots, the bare thighs, but over that is a mail shirt.

It's definitely a good overhaul and gives them all unique looks, so thanks to SirThompshire for the effort put in! In case you were wondering, the WoW model showcases 1 and 2 were the Council of Three Hammers and the Original Paladins, if you want to take a look.
