Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
gonna say back in 1997-98,
i started getting into fifth edition Warhammer fantasy.
i started collecting Army of Bretonnia because they came in the box set.
then i moved from them to Chaos Warriors to finally settling on the Undead.
as i was collecting Undead, i started looking at other miniature companies for
better looking undead miniatures.
came across Reaper Miniatures and discovered a mounted skeleton on a
large half decayed goat.
at the time i thought this was the coolest thing ever.
unbeknownst to me,
i didn't realize this fellow was kinda part of a set in a way.
he was part of the horsemen of the apocalypse group.
after over 20 years, i finally came to the point that i wanted to get them all.
found these on Ebay and i was extremely happy and anxious to get
them assembled and painted.
i did some research and reading and also referred to what
Reaper Miniatures has them labeled as.
as i painted them i tried my best to stay with the biblical descriptions.
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come." I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Conquer
Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come." I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Revelation 6:1–2
War
When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come." And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from Earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.
Revelation 6:3–4
