Physical Shield for Power Armour?

[Haravikk]

This is a request/"is there one" thread regarding physical shields for power armour.

 

 

I ask because when wearing power armour all melee weapons are wielded one handed, and it seemed to me like it would have been ideal to have a shield to carry in the off-hand as an alternative for blocking, i.e- like in Skyrim. Plus I've always really loved the vibe of the Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield combo in Warhammer 40,000.

 

I've searched around but so far all I've found are over-shield type devices (i.e- force fields) rather than a traditional physical shield; the only exceptions have been a few gimmicky types like a Captain America shield.

 

I would love to be able to, for example, just pick up a car door as a shield when wearing a raider's power armour, or use something purpose-made for brotherhood armour etc.; or alternatively have something built into the armour itself (e.g- a mod for the off-hand hand gauntlet to add a reinforced plate on it for blocking).

 

 

Do any mods along these lines or similar exist already?

 

If not, does anyone have any idea how hard it would be to make something like this? I have a bit of experience modding for Skyrim, but not really in creating new 3d models, so if I did this myself I'd probably look to use existing props I can just attach onto a power armoured arm, e.g- like the car door idea, or some other kinds of metal panel.

Hey there, I just found this pose while looking for Warhammer 40K stuff. There is a Power Armor out there that has a shield, it is called "True Knight Power Armor" (link below). It has a shield that can be equipped at the power armor station. What I would like to see is someone to add a mod that would take that shield and make it an option for other power armor sets, and/or make additional shields that can be added to any power armor set.
