Ok first of all you people need to chill these swords are awsome but one thing gets me War was the only one with a sword the thought of all of them having swords........NICE. But yea man I mean my name is for recolection of War and Michael (my name is also michael and I love the horsemen though I am wiccan) angel of war was for a cross of War and the Arch Angel Michael i love these swords you truely made me think what if they all carried swords...? would famine and pestilence be able to use them...? never mind just like the swords very nice man.

i love the Pestilence, the little design on the hilt gives it a cool look. I'm guessing it has a poison-dipped blade, making the target sick upon contact, hence the name?

Plague and famine would be the same.
Plus the four horsemen are here to cleanse the world, cleanse it of sin in a way, also it has been done a few times before without that large of scale, as what will happen soon.

the four horsemen are traditionally known as-

War

Pestilence

Famine

and Death

these are the names given to them in the book of revelation (chapter6 i think)

however the bible has been revised since and now only directly name the fourth horsemen Death.

there is also the POSSIBILITY of the 5th horsemen

the aint-christ / jesus himself

"Then I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself.
He is clad in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses.
From his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations , and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords."

however, as always the bible is open to interpretation.

but the art work is truly amazing. love it.

i am currently doing an art project in Pestilence.

good work.

livingangel...actually, famine is hunger, plague is sickness from like the black death, not neccessarily the same but both sound gruesome.As for the artwork-Absolutely stunning.Id love to be able to draw like you can.Ive seen your other weapons, your awesome!

Actually, a traditional view of the horsemen is as follows

Conquest (or Conqueror)
War
Pestilence
Death

only later was it re-arranged in order to take out Conquest, who many believe to represent Christ.

Conquest has no sword, but instead, a bow with no arrows and a crown to symbolize a non-violent rise to power.
