Revolutionary minutemen overhaul

[RicardoRs1990]

So, here's my idea: a new set of armors and weapons for the minutemen, with a continental army( US war of independence) theme, with somewhat matching weapons for the faction.

 

For the armors the idea is for a single piece that doesn't allow for the use of armor sets, as the outfits would be armored themselves. The basic idea for all of the 5 different sets of armor is for them to be imitations of the american continental army, with a blue coat, similar to the general's armor, and white vest and pants, with a white dress shirt underneath. however, those outfits are not to be exact replicas of the continental army uniform, but a sort of wasteland mockup, an imitation, with a front only crudely polished metal breasplate underneath the overcoat with matching upper arm metal plates, bolth the breastplate and the arm plates in bare metal, held in place with leather straps. This is pretty mutch the base for the 5 types of armor I thought of.

 

Minutemen Musketeer: essentially the armor piece described above with two versions, one with a white bandoller, and annother with two white crossing bandollers. (the bandollers are supposed to look like the ones in the NCR bandoller armor). for the headgear a simple version of the tricorn hat, perhaps with a few decorations such as a small minutemen crossrifles pin.

For this, the proposed weapon is a long barrelled bolt action rifle, something like a Springfield M1903, chambered in .308, but with a longer barrel and a musket triggerguard, the idea for the weapon's look is that it's made with recycled materials, so the stock should look dried and weathered and the metal somewhat bare and poorly polished. This type should also use the laser musket.

 

Minutemen Grenadier: this type of minutemen variation should use the base armor with one bandoleer with grenades attatched to it, and a weathered black leather satchel with the tricorn hat, same as the musketeer.( a new type of grenade should be on the bandoleer, a forged metal retex of the baseball grenade to look like a primitive grenade)

For this variant, a new type of grenade, as aforementioned, a retexture of the baseball grenade to look like a metal ball, as to resemble primitive grenadesof the 18/19th century. for a firearm, a semi-auto carbine version of the rifle mentioned before, but chambered in .45, with a magazine.

 

Minutemen Marauder: for the armor, the base armor with a blue waist wrap, the same as in the american flag in hancock's outfit. For the headwear, a headwrap with googles covering the entire head with the tricorn hat. For weapons, the revolutionary sword( allready existent in game) and molotov cocktails. Very agressive meelee character.

 

Minutemen Sharpshooter: the idea for this one is the base armor with a green cape and hood. For the weapon, a single-shot, somethink akin to the remington rolling block rifle, with a long, bronze side scope, like the one for the manwell rifle.

 

Minutemen Heavy: the armor for this class is different from the rest. The outfit for this one consists in the same clothing as the base outfit described, but the armor front-only breastplate needs to be heavier, the metal armplates need to cover the arm, elbows and forearm, with plate armor on the legs too. For headwear a welder type metal helmet. For a weapon, this a LMG is necessary, a Johnson 1941 LMG.

 

That is essentially my idea, in case of any doubts I'll do my best to answer at the earliest convenience!
