wow mob:Icecrown Gunship Battle  

The Icecrown Gunship Battle is the third 'boss' encounter in Icecrown Citadel. Much like the Faction Champions in Trial of the Crusader this fight use different skin for both faction, but is essentially the same encounter. It is an aerial battle between the gunships Skybreaker and Orgrim's Hammer. Muradin Bronzebeard and High Overlord Saurfang are the gunship commanders.
