[ULTIMATE SKIN IDEA] Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Hecarim

Offícer Booty·Apr 17, 2015·29 votes·4,946 views

So we all know about our friendly neighborhood horse who has provided us with death and destruction, but where's his ultimate skin? I thought this would be something entirely different and cool to have. Here's the rundown of my idea. I've also never posted a skin idea before, so please be patient.

The Four Horsemen are as follows; War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.
Each Horseman's form can be toggled (like DJ Sona)
Each form will have a different appearance, voice/tone, personality, and perhaps new quotes (though I don't have any quote ideas yet so feel free to leave some below)

That's the basic rundown of what could be included. Now for the good part. What will they look like? Keep in mind that I don't have any pictures for these, so feel free to talk with me about illustrating them or simply come up with an idea yourself. All I ask is that you credit me for the skin idea.

War

Old fashioned war helmet, preferably with horns - something like this
Fire surrounding the helmet or, at least, pouring out of the eye holes
Dark red skin
Red and black or silver and black armor
Spear turns into a tattered Shadow Isles war flag or a large sword
Voice becomes more demon-like
He appears more violent and ready to fight

Famine

Black old-looking face/mask
Dark gray 'hair' coming out of the head/mask
Black skin
Dark gray armor
Spear turns into a pole with scales on both ends - something like this
He can possibly look thinner
Voice sounds significantly weaker and somewhat low
Looks like he has trouble moving around due to lack of nourishment

Pestilence

White plague doctor mask - this thing
Sickly green energy that surrounds the mask
Sickly green skin
Darker green and black or gray armor (can also use white instead of black)
Spear turns into a long poisoned arrow or can remain a spear
Voice sounds very ill and sick; hoarse
Appears to have trouble staying awake, looks very tired and sluggish

Death

White skull head
Black smoke around the skull
White circles in the eye sockets
White skin
Armor made of bone
Spear turns into a scythe
Voice becomes more sophisticated and reasonable-sounding, possibly clearer
Appears to hold himself with pride; good manners and posture; respectful

That's all I have on this skin. I personally love the idea and figured that I could share it with the League community to see what they think.

Sometimes you're barn with it, or maybe it's Neighbelline.

Excuse me, but the original four horsemen are War, Conquest, Famine, and Death. The pestilence guy just came along and took the place of conquest somehow.

VerrKolApr 17, 20153 votes

That's because War usually does the conquering. It's a bit redundant if you ask me.

Thick JimmyApr 17, 20152 votes

Pestilence took the place of conquest probably because of the redundancy of there being war, but also because conquest has a bow that spreads pestilence wherever it is shot.

I understand that the original Four Horsemen had Conquest in place of Pestilence, but later years do end up replacing Conquest with Pestilence because War and Conquest go hand-in-hand and infectious diseases were a huge issue in the world. I was going with what was more current.

Conquest more refers to avarice or the desire for power. He is the decision to go to War. This is why Conquest is the First Horseman, with War and Famine in his wake, and Death behind them.

The skin would be interesting if not for the fact he already has a Death Skin and a War Skin, although I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to create a Death Stance that didn't too much resemble Reaper Hecarim (and the War Stance could take any millions of appearances). I'm all for this skin only for his Onslaught of Shadows to have each of his stances ride out together.

Might I suggest a better Idea than just toggling into the different horses?

By default he's War. His Q being very quick and short won't pertain to any of the horses. His W will turn him into Famine, draining the sustenance and energy out of his foes. His E will turn him into conquest charging forward. And last but not least his Ult will turn him into Death, perhaps for a bit longer than the charge itself for more of a grand effect. Also his color palate should reflect more that of the traditional horses. Red: War, White: Conquest, Black: Famine, and Gray: Death.

there a problem with this though is he already have war and death as separate skins

War http://criticaltable.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/hecarim-patch-info.jpg

Death http://download.gamezone.com/uploads/image/data/1099835/hecarim2-1.jpg

And you can also argue that his default can either be pestilence or famine

Default would probably be Conquest/pestilence rather than famine, since that's the canon skin and in his lore he rampaged through whole armies causing fear and destruction.

So, at this point, Hecarim needs a Famine skin...

Something starved looking like this (minus the wings and as a centaur)?

Famine - Hecarim starved to death and had to be rebuilt by Viktor as Robot Pony. Problem solved.

That's arcade Hecarim.

BakugoBestBoyApr 17, 20151 votes

yes...

Offícer BootyApr 17, 20151 votes

I honestly thought about that, but I was going with something along the lines of being more color and personality based off of the Horsemen entirely. I just thought it'd be a cool idea to have something that stuck to the color coordination and personality of the Horsemen rather than to have individual skins.

InsanebooApr 17, 20151 votes

I like it.

Chespin2013Apr 17, 20151 votes

would insta buy it

Mecha MaIphiteApr 17, 20151 votes

Famine could have an animation for draining the energy from enemies whenever he uses W.

Mango LocoApr 17, 20151 votes

I can not upvote this enough

mikemcpartyApr 17, 20151 votes

I don't own/play Hecarim , but I would buy this GUARANTEED if it was released.

FasmodeyApr 17, 20151 votes

It's a great idea, there is a lot of potential about it.

Poldy ScarecrowApr 17, 20151 votes

When I read the title I imagined 4 different heroes as the respective horsemen : Karthus = Death Singed or Twitch = Pestilence ( Plague Dr. Singed ) Fiddlesticks = Famine

For War idk maybe Jax Tryndamere Aatrox ? Lots of champs could pull of Death including Hec.

Offícer BootyApr 17, 20153 votes

I thought of making that an option as well, but since Hecarim is a centaur I thought the satisfaction of having a toggle feature would be awesome.

GreenLoreApr 18, 20151 votes

How about Mordekaiser Conquest(being the first undead) Hecarim war(obviously) Karthus Death(seriously the dude worships death) And a new Shadow isles champ who sucks out the life force of others to represent famine ?
