Centurio1945 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 When I first got into Skyrim, I scowered the internet for some mid period (1000-1200 AD) Kievan Rus' armor. It's something very unique, ornate, and would require someone who knows alot more about texturing then I do, so I'm desperately hoping a good modder can give this mod some life. But for some history The armor looks slightly viking like the more you get to the early age of the Kievan rus', Kiev was founded originally but a tribe of Scandinavian warrior know and the varagians, the varagians eventually became mixed with the culture of the Kievans but left alot of military tradition. As the later period comes around (more like the pictures I provided) You can see a more Byzantine influence, from their many conflicts with the byzantine empire. This mod would be cool if it was complete spear set to go along as well http://www.michtoy.com/michtoy/Picture_ORH-72032-1.jpg Something like that If anyone is interested in getting this going, give me a shout, I loved to put some ideas into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBizkit Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I've seen helmets like those in bob's armory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurio1945 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Oblivion had some Slavic armor types, they looked like 12-13th century Boyar armor (Russian/Bulgarian royal armor), this is mainly because the colovian race of west cyrodiil is slightly slavic based. And the helmet from bob's armory is Vendel helmets, which looks similar to the early era Kievan rus' helmets because of the Varagians. https://qqduckus.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/pkrzhurnal071.jpg These are Kievan pikemen one of my favorite units of history http://sanchez-d.users.photofile.ru/photo/sanchez-d/3798822/88122971.jpg That Vendel helmet though, looks similar to Kiev's famous helmet with that has some structure similar to a viking helmet but with a chain guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
