LE Idea for a Legion armor overhaul.

[LEGION113]

So, I came across some images of the "Byzantine" faction from one of the Assassin's Creed games (the most recent one I believe), and I was like, "These guys look like they would be perfect for the Legion...". Their armor looks just looks... right for them. It's like a mix of Roman, but with a more Eastern style (I am aware they were the Eastern branch of the Roman Empire), which I think fits Skyrim amazingly. So, I figured I'd bring this up, and see if anyone skilled enough would like to take up the challenge of making some armors off the Byzantines. They just fit so well!

 

See I'm thinking something like this for the Regular Soldiers/Sergeants, but with the Byzantine Coat of Arms being replaced with the Legion symbol, with studded being the same, but with a studded leather breast plate:

This could be some sort of Elite/Heavy Soldier:

Officer's Armor:

Legates Armor:

Something similar to this could be Tullius' Armor:

I don't know if this is even possible, but I think it'd be amazing to see something like this as the Legion's armors, they look very intimidating, and suited to the cold climate of Skyrim, but still having a sort of 'Romanesque' feeling.

 

All images are from the Assassin's creed wikia.
