About this image

I've always thought the textures for the vanilla Imperial heavy armour were a bit... lacking. So I decided to have a go at retexturing them to my liking. Mostly as a way to practise and also kill some time.

The idea is to make it look more like a Roman lorica segmentata.

Note that this is still heavily WIP. Also I'm not exactly what you'd call a texture artist...

Unfortunately, work has been suspended on this project indefinitely. Sadly there are no longer plans to release these textures for the foreseeable future.

    Cheers! I'm very glad that you all like it.

    I am indeed expecting to release it, because there's a real lack of texture options for this armour. I think even if you don't wear it on your character, it's good to have a nice texture for it because players are bound to see it a lot on soldiers during their playthroughs.

    The cuirass is about 90% done now (at least, V1.0 of it), and I just have to do the female cuirass, and then the boots, bracers, and helmet (which should go quite fast once the female cuirass is done) and it'll be ready for release. In the meantime, I'll be posting more WIP shots occasionally to gauge opinions.

      This is excellent news! Are those sleeves and pants I see as well?
      I look forward to its release.

      Thanks. Indeed, it does have sleeves and pants. However, that's not my work, it's from the "Sleeved Imperials" mod by 4killmaster. Highly recommended if you want your Legionnaires dressing warmer.

    I have to agree with rebeltuck. I think you should publish this if you can. and if you can, leave each file up as you make changes to them. A work in progress so to speak. the colors are just fine, it is easy to find a shiny Imperial Heavy Armour. The leather looks like leather. Good stuff.
