Gnome Death Knight

Lately when i was running in Outland something small ran next to my...ankle, i couldn't stop loling when i targeted Gnome Death Knight. A 40cm of lich king's wrath, srsly is Arthas so desperate to chose fragile gnomes to be his elite wariors?? How do they look standing next to muscular orcs or dranei. Let them be mages lock and rogues, and ok even wariors but dk should be fearsome savage murderer witch doesn't fit to small jolly gnome and his beer belly.
Every time i see a gnome i think of a game from warhammer pen&paper "snootball" wich is simmiliar to football but instead of ball u use a snootling (imagine rest ;))
