LE New weapons

[avianmosquito]

I'm wanting to add some new weapons to Skyrim once the kit is out. These will come with with my verisimilitude mod once that is created, and the more weapons I have to work with the better. I can't model, texture or rig them, so I'm coming to you for help. Once the models have been textured and rigged, (and the CK is out) I'll add them to the game. I'll be happy to help in any way I can, so feel free to contact me.

 

Blades Armoury:

These weapons here I will be adding to the blades armoury, and I intend them to be unique in their usage in game. Note that the "blades sword" in skyrim is a kodachi, not a katana, and will be renamed as such.

 

Tanto:

I would like a tanto of the variety displayed here. It should have a blade length of ~30cm/12in. Mounted as a one-handed blade, will be counted as a "dagger."

Wakizashi:

I would like a wakizashi of the variety displayed here. It should have a blade length of ~50cm/20in. Mounted as a one-handed blade, will be counted as a sword.

Katana:

I would like a katana of the variety displayed here or here. Blade length should be ~70cm/28in. Mounted as a two-handed blade, will be counted as a sword.

Odachi:

An odachi of this variety would be preferable. Sorry the blade cannot be seen. Blade length should be ~110cm/44in. Mounted as a two-handed blade, will be counted as a sword.

kanabo:

I'm not too particular here, but this variety would be nice, as would the one held by this oni, and the one held by this samurai. Length depends on version, but 70-110cm/28-44in should be good.

Yari:

A yari of the variety seen in the centre here would be ideal. A 4m/13' 4" shaft with a 1m/40in blade would be ideal. Mounting should be two-hand blade, but if you have a better idea I'm all ears. This one is low priority, and would only be useful if other spears could be made as well. Would be counted as a spear*, if other polearms are made.

Naginata:

A naginata such as this one would be best. In should have a 160cm/64in shaft with a 50cm/20in blade, for a total 210cm length. Mounting should be two-hand blade, will be counted as a polearm** if other polearms are made. If not, as a sword.

 

Spears:

 

Not my favourite variety of weapon, but they deserve usage anyway. I would divide these into three varieties: shortspears, spears and longspears. Shortspears would be one-handed stabbing weapons with a length around 150cm/60in where spears and longspears would be two-handed stabbing weapons with the former around 250cm/100in and the later around 350cm/140in.

 

The idea here is to have one of each for each quality grade. (Iron, elven, daedric, that kind of thing)

 

Polearms:

 

Other than spears, there are a great many polearms that deserve mention and usage. Halberds, glaives and scythes are the most important, but ransuers, tridents, military forks, voulges and lucern hammers would also be nice. If you want me to clarify the size of the weapon I am looking for, I will, but there's a lot in there.

 

Bows:

The only bows in game right now are longbows. Smaller battle bows and short bows for all quality grades would be nice. I'm not too particular here.

 

Misc:

 

I am looking for knives at about 15cm/6in and 20cm/8in, short swords (40-60cm/16-24in), long swords (80-100cm/32-40in) and bastard swords (100-120cm/40-48in) of each quality. A long handaxe (~80cm/32in) and hatchet, (~40cm/16in) one short (~40cm/16in) and one long (~80cm/32in) one-handed hammer, a small club, (~30cm/12in) a truncheon, (~60cm/24in) a two-handed club (~90cm/36in) a greatclub (~120cm/48in) and a small two-handed axe (~1m/40in) for each as well.

 

Imperial armory:

 

There's no denying the empire's garb and weapon design is based on the roman empire, so some new greek and roman weapons would be good for them. The spatha and kopis are good as their long swords, while the gladius would be a good candidate for their short sword. (Their main sword is already a large xiphos.) The makhaira (basically a smaller kopis) also draws my attention. The dory/doru, sarissa and pilum would be good if spears are added. New bows would also be nice, but roman and greek bows are not my area of expertise.

 

*Spears would have the effect of pushing/slowing an enemy, and could stagger them.

**Polearms would have higher damage instead of a special effect.

Not to sound like I am hijacking your thread, but about bows, read up on my Archery Mod Request, I think you and I might have something in common there, I did some minor modding in Fallout 3 using FOMM and GECK but nothing substantial, I only added in and edited ammunition and firearms based on real world statistics and that's not much help in Skyrim sadly.

 

addendum: Short Spears in RL were also used as light Javelins from many different cultures, perhaps this would be a benefit to short spears vs their significant lack of stand off distance and damage.

Actually, the only benefit of a short spear, even a pilum, in a game where you can't throw it, is speed and it's one-hand usability. Still the longest one-handed weapon, and not too different from the longer spears in damage, but it has shorter reach than a regular spear.

 

And yes, it sounds like you're hijacking my thread. Exactly like it, in fact.
