Skin Line Including KARTHUS, SWAIN, and VIKTOR

I was reading a Riot post the other day justifying the new Bewitching skins for Teemo, Tristana, and Morgana, and I saw where s/he listed a handful of champions in most need of skins. Karthus, Swain, and Viktor were on that list and it got me thinking about what skins would work for them. These characters are not necessarily close in Lore, but I get similar vibes from all of them as far as personality goes. They seem to be villains in their respective stories. They are all somewhat standard Mages in-game with several AoE abilities each. They also have a lot of powerful moments when their ultimate abilities are available.

Which leads me to my actual idea: what if there was a Redeemed skin line that included these 3 champs? I imagine them having a transformation from dark, cold, insidious masterminds to bright shining warriors taking on the form of angels converted to fighting for the light side. They are the feared warriors of heaven wielding powerful golden magic (kind of like Cosmic Reaver or Arclight skins).

Karthus Karthus would have 2 sets of white wings, golden armor and helmet, and powdery white robes with red/purple accents. His staff would become golden and ornamental. His abilities would be light blue and gold fields of heavenly energy, and his ultimate would be the Rapture. His W could be the gates of Heaven.

Swain Swain would have similar aesthetics: white robes with gold and red/purple accents. His walking stick would be golden and straight with some sort of gem in the top. Beatrice would be transformed into a dove and sitting on a beautiful spiraling perch. His ultimate would transform him into a glorious bird-faced angel with a swarm of doves flying to and from foes.

Viktor Viktor would have a halo above his head instead of a laser. It can shoot gold beams of light. His cape would be cotton-white and all of his protective armor pieces, including his mask, would be made of gold. His gravity field would be gold and light blue and his ultimate would be Heaven itself beaming down on those unworthy.

What do you guys think? Could this work? I know it is a bit of a stretch, but I was hoping to knock all 3 of these champs out with one release! [slayer-jinx-wink]

I dunno. I don't feel the redeemed motif fitting them very well. The skins still have to fit their voice lines, so unless they all became 1820 skins, it'd be a tough sell. I could see them all being deranged Inquisitors though. They all tend to be adherents to a higher calling (maybe Swain? Never played him) so making them corrupted, Fire and Brimstone Inquisitors would fit perfectly.

The karthus skin would be his origin skin if it didn't have the wings so it would be better as an origin skin. seems he was taken in by a church to help thouse dying or already dead he would be wearing the outfit you kinda described.
