Boobless alven armor \o/ Oh I hate the vanilla look of that armor. Only thing worse is steelplate. That looks like a silvery catsuit. Plate armor does not bend and strech.
I'm looking forward to more armors from you. And the finished body of course. I'm using the vanilla one, never found a reason to switch. You just changed my mind!
Well, my main goal is to complete my first body mod. Tertiary goals include, making a body that isn't waifish, or meatless. She is fit, and strong. But she isn't a fitness model so she has fat on her, which goes to her hips, thighs, butt, and breasts making her waist look narrow in comparison. Your examples are are all pretty girls but they are not what this body is about. This is more of a tank fighter body, not a swimmer/runner body, which is why she isn't fat-free (which is what leads to narrowing hips on those girls).
Thanks for the consideration and input.

I really like the basic idea of your body / armor mod, but on the other hand I'm not entirely sure, what exactly you're aiming for. Judging from your info, my impression is, that "heroic" means something like an athletic, sporty, healthy and fit body.
So, I've looked through your pictures and while I really do like the way you modelled the arms / shoulders, hips and legs, the waist doesn't really fit a heroic body. In my opinion, it's too narrow. A wider and more solid waist would suit the rest of the body better, I think. Right now you have more of an hourglass figure and not exactly a heroic build.
I googled some photos as examples to show you what I mean:
I guess, this will probably change nothing seeing as you're pretty much done with your basic mesh editing and you might not even see or read it, but I wanted to leave this comment here regardless to give you some hopefully constructive feedback. As I said, I like the general idea of your work.
Every piece of armor for CNHF (Heroic Form Body) will feature actual armor. I'm using the male versions in every case where there are unnecessary boobs on the female version (heavily tweaked to fit the body of course)...because pretty as they are, boobs on plate armor channel blows to the center of the body leading to cracked and crushed sternums, taking points off the badass quotient. This won't affect most fur armors, or Forsworn armor, but it will affect Steel Plate, Elven, Ebony, (possibly) Orcish, and Daedric. Boobs will be squished in the name of protection.
In the case of this armor (Ancient Nord), the original was kind of worse...with like, a couple pieces of candy bar sized metal across her collar bone. This is much more protective than the original even with the midriff showing.
Wow, female armor that looks like armor. Well compared to most of the stuff around at least. I still wouldn't go into battle like that if it was for real. But it's a game and it does look badass.

Edit: Found your nordplate pictures. Very nice!
