Despite my best efforts to curb my posting I made it.
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see." I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hell was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
— revelation 6:7-8˄ NIV

I get which one is famine and death, but which one is pestilence and which one is war? they both have weapons of conquest, hm.... I guess if I had to guess I would say the sword more represents war than pestilence.

You are correct. Although they both represent very related things. Without pestilence there is no war.
I also find the symbology of Famines scales intriguing.

The white horse of the apocalyptic four has been argued to represent either evil or righteousness
The rider of the second horse is often taken to represent War. His horse's color is red
This color, as well as the rider's possession of a large sword, suggests blood that is to be spilled on the battlefield
The third horseman rides a black horse and is generally understood as Famine.[2] The horseman carries a pair of balances or weighing scales, indicating the way that bread would have been weighed during a famine.[
The fourth and final horseman is named Death. Of all the riders, he is the only one to whom the text itself explicitly gives a name.
The color of Death's horse is written as khlôros in the original Koine Greek, which is often translated as "pale", "ashen", "pale green", and "yellowish green". The color suggests the sickly pallor of a corpse

Is it not strange we use the same symbol for famine as we do for justice?
