Armor Request: History Vikings Style Leather w/ Chainmail


TuskandInk

Recommended Posts

So I think some people are aware - the History Channel has a new series about Vikings. It's amazingly shot if you haven't seen it... check it out. But I'm an armour-collector-wh*%#-extraordinaire and I cannot find a chainmail and leather mix like Leif (Foremost left) and Ragnar (Center, front). Ragnar has an amazingly simple looking cuirass with chainmail on a hard looking leather, stitched up sleeves, with one of Odin's Ravens on the front. Leif has some cool kit as well. If there is anyone with the talent, time and ability to make Ragnar or Leif's armour, I would ask that you do.

I have been using FrankDema's Wanderer set and FranklinZunge's Brigandage armors as a substitute, but as the series continues I am becoming more envious of this particular cuirass piece from the photo.

 

Thanks for reading...

That is a great show so far, I've really enjoyed it. There is this mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32706

 

It adds some rough leather/chainmail armor, nothing exactly like the Ragnar or Leifs armor but perhaps somthing you'll like.

Yeah, I've been using the Brigandage set of armors since their release. They're good - in fact, I think they're great. But they're not exactly what I'm looking for. I really like the Iron Bandit Cuirass, but I think with some chainmail mixed in it it could be something truly gritty and rough and immerse me into the Viking Lifestyle.

There's two sets of Viking armor in this armor set plus a lot of chainmail armors.

 

What I would suggest is try retexturing one of them to look like the armor in your picture. I might give it a shot tomorrow if I'm not too busy

 

I think that they're exactly what you're looking for,really cool viking chainmail armor and even more cool stuff,you should try out the immersive weapons mod too if you havent downloaded it already!

I've gone back and used the Immersive Armors Viking variants and I have used the Brigandage armors for a while (I've been using it since it came out.) But I think people are missing what I'm throwing out there.

 

Just a Cuirass with leather and chain mail and stitched leather sleeves would be cool. Or a cuirass like this.
