With Medivh, Alleria Windrunner and Magni Bronzebeard the Hearthstone team introduced us into hero skins - a fun little way to have more variety. I don't know what you think about this. But me as also a World of Warcraft player it is a little annoying to have such invented or costumized hero skins like Morgl the Oracle, Sir Annnoy-O, Mecha-Jaraxxus or Madame Lazul. I mean, it is cool to have the possibility to play as a Murloc or Mech but the Warcraft universe has so many interesting and different characters, why do you have to take these?
Nevermind... with Paladin having a total of four playable hero skins (Uther Lightbringer, Lady Liadrin, Prince Arthas and Sir Annoy-O) I decided to bring the other classes also at the same number. My goal was to vary the Gender, Race and Affiliation (Neutral/Alliance/Horde) as well as possible. This was kind of tricky because I also wanted to find good hero artworks and sometimes, I changed my idea just because I didn't find a nice one.
Nevermind, enjoy :D
Druid
Hamuul Runetotem is the Archdruid of Thunder Bluff (Tauren capital) and a venerated leader of the tauren people. He is the highest-ranked tauren in the Cenarion Circle. As many of his people do, Hamuul believes very much in the balance between nature and the races of Azeroth. Hamuul was a childhood friend and fierce supporter of High Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof, and teaches the ways of druidism to his honored brethren. After Cairne was murdered by Magatha Grimtotem, Hamuul continued his role as advisor to Cairne's son Baine, the new High Chieftain, as well as teaching young druids.
Zen'tabra is a troll druid trainer on the Darkspear Isle, the starting zone of the Darkspear Trolls. Zen'tabra later appears during the Firelands Invasion patrolling The Regrowth in Mount Hyjal alongside Celestine of the Harvest, Mardant Strongoak and Gart Mistrunner.
Hunter
Huln Highmountain (also known as Huln of the eagle spear) was the spokesman for all the tauren tribes gathered by Krasus to help the night elves in their fight against the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients. Huln and his tauren played a crucial role in several battles during the war, and for his bravery, Huln and his people received a blessing from the Wild God Cenarius, so that they would always have the demigod's favor: the Horns of Eche'ro.
Dark Ranger Lyana leads the attack against the Derelict Strand near Vengeance Landing. She was present at the funeral ceremony of the former Warchief Vol'jin in the Dranosh'ar Blockade. During the Battle for Azeroth, Lyana was assigned by Sylvanas Windrunner to track down Varok Saurfang after he escaped Alliance custody. Contrary to what the adventurer was led to believe, Lyana was not there to capture him but to kill him instead. She and a force of Forsaken confronted Saurfang and Zekhan in the Swamp of Sorrows, and were killed.
Mage
Kael'thas Sunstrider was the Prince of Quel'Thalas, the last of the Sunstrider dynasty, as well as a senior member of the Kirin Tor. After the fall of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas led what remained of his people, the sin'dorei, in the service of the Alliance. Striving to placate his people's addiction to magic, he later covertly allied with Illidan Stormrage, but betrayed him to the Burning Legion when its master, the demon lord Kil'jaeden, enticed Kael with the promise of salvation for the blood elves. He was branded a traitor after his allegiance to the Legion was revealed, losing the support of Quel'Thalas. Defeated in the Tempest Keep, he would be brought back by his demon masters and return to Azeroth a shadow of his former self. Kael'thas' purpose was to summon Kil'jaeden through the Sunwell, but his plans were foiled by the Shattered Sun Offensive agents and the sacrifice of Anveena Teague. He was defeated by their forces in Magisters' Terrace.
Priest
Alonsus Faol was the Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light during the Second War. He organized the creation of paladins - knights who wielded the Light - to defend the Alliance of Lordaeron. His apprentice Uther became the first paladin and together they founded the Knights of the Silver Hand paladin order. Faol died at some point, and became an undead. During the third invasion of the Burning Legion, he joined the Conclave and helped in the fight against the demons, eventually attaining the title of Archbishop once more.
Rogue
Garona Halforcen is a half-orc half-draenei, though most (including herself) believed she was half-human until the truth was revealed to her. She is an assassin and a spymaster. She was an emissary of the Horde during the first invasion of Azeroth, and was the reluctant murderer of King Llane Wrynn. Later on, she joined her son and the other members of the New Council of Tirisfal in their battle against the Twilight's Hammer cult.
He is the leader of SI:7, calls himself master of all assassins, and is referred to as master of spies. His second in command is the goblin Renzik
Shaman
Farseer Nobundo was a former draenei vindicator and Far Seer of the draenei shaman. One of the most tragic heroes among the Broken of Outland, Nobundo lost the ability to call upon the Light during the fall of Shattrath City and was deformed by the fel energies released. Shunned by his people, Nobundo took up the calling of the shaman while wandering the wilds of Outland, and introduced it to his people with the blessing of the wise Prophet Velen. He would accompany his people to Azeroth onboard the Exodar, and guide new draenei shaman as they began on their path. In the wake of the Shattering, Nobundo has lent his services to the Earthen Ring to help calm the raging elements of Azeroth.
Warlock
Meryl Felstorm (previously known as Meryl Winterstorm) is an undead human sorcerer. He is an incredibly powerful human magic user, with nearly three thousand years of experience, and the foster father and mentor of Med'an, Garona Halforcen's son.
Warrior
High Overlord Varok Saurfang is the younger brother of Broxigar and a renowned orc warrior of the Blackrock clan. A famed veteran of the First, Second, and Third Wars, he served as Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer's second-in-command during the Second War, and as Supreme Commander of the combined Might of Kalimdor during the second War of the Shifting Sands against the qiraji of Ahn'Qiraj. He later led the Kor'kron against the Scourge in Northrend, and assisted Thrall during the Siege of Orgrimmar. Following the tragic battle on the Broken Shore and Sylvanas Windrunner's promotion to Warchief, Saurfang took up the position as leader of the Orgrimmar orcs and resides in Grommash Hold.
Sir Anduin Lothar, the Lion of Stormwind, was the last true descendant of the ancient Arathi bloodline, a Knight Champion of the Kingdom of Stormwind during the First War, and the Supreme Commander of the armies of the Alliance of Lordaeron during the Second War. He perished in combat at the base of Blackrock Mountain just before the end of the Second War and the closing of the Dark Portal. He is considered one of the greatest warriors in human history. King Varian Wrynn named his son, the current King of Stormwind Anduin Wrynn, after him.
Blizard doesnt realses skins more often, because if they did, they would not be able to justify the huge price tag attached to it. Its a shame though, because skins are fun, and some players cant afford to pay.

I would love saurfang as the alternate hero for warrior
I just want female warrior (free) skin. Garosh is so ugly!
I want female draenei warrior and shaman skins, I can not play these classes because they have bad skins.
Also, Gul'dan is cool, but I would like to see an undead male character instead.
I want Vendellin Soulfire (Bloodelf Warlock) as Heroskin. D:
