I think team WTCH might be based of the four horsemen of the apocalypse to some degree at least. Based on their clothing of choice, as well as some of their actions.

Tyrian wears white under his coat and is tasked with capturing Ruby alive, after previously being charged with hunting down the Spring Maiden. Therefore, he is the White Horseman of Conquest. Also, the Horseman of Conquest is also often known as the Horseman of Pestilence. Tyrian's scorpion tail was venomous and a mere graze from it wrecked Qrow's health.

Cinder’s wardrobe is mostly red, she caused a Grimm invasion, severely increased tension between the four kingdoms, and has sowed considerable discord amongst the world. Naturally, she is the Red Horseman of war.

Dr. Watts usually wears black and is probably responsible for coding the Black Queen virus, and is charged with infiltrating Mistral. If the former holds true, then Watts is the Black Horseman of Famine; his virus's behaviour caused Atlas to stop exporting Dust in light of their AI being infected by his work, thereby causing that kingdom to suffer economically (which Jacques Schnee indirectly pointed out to Ironwood) and thus inducing poverty in Atlas.

Then there's Hazel, who's wearing a green-ish outfit. He was sent to strongarm the main leader of the White Fang into supporting their cause. Given that he's hinted that he (or his group, at least) was responsible for killing Summer Rose, he seems to be the Green Horseman of Death. This gets reinforced further when we see his fighting style and pain negation Semblance, along with the fact that he's spent most of the series causing a severe decrease in Mistral's Huntsman population.

Additionally, the last horseman was said to be followed by Hell incarnate; a fitting description for Salem, it could be argued.
