Man, this looks nice! Definitely endorsing this. And, after going through the Pale Pass quest to acquire it, it has me thinking...
It would likely require some mesh edits, but it would be neat to see a 'Ruined Akaviri' version of this armor (with obvious battle damage, similar to the Ruined Akaviri Katana and Ruined Akaviri Shield)... if nothing else, putting the ruined variant on the Undead Akaviri in Pale Pass would certainly look imposing - aside from the fact they have a different name and weapon setup, the Undead Akaviri just feel like just another skeleton in the end, and don't really seem like the remnants of an imposing military force...
I've tried looking for skeletons wearing ruined Blade armor as a logical starting point (as I'm tempted to mod this in myself), but I've had no luck so far.
Anyhow, great to see you back modding Oblivion, Mhahn! I've always appreciated your work; it fits in very well with the original game. Can't wait to see that Knights of the Thorn armor!
That sounds like a great idea but I'm not sure how to implement it honestly. My modeling skills are very basic...creating _far nifs is about all I can manage so far...so making an armor with damaged parts is out of my league right now. The only alternative I can think of is retexing a suit to give it a rusty look.
You are so right about that....sorry I forgot to include it. Was just finishing up another set tonight but will have an updated file by tomorrow with the egm included. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thank you for adding this. I have always wondered why we only see a piece or two of the old armor and are never able to cobble together a complete set. Appreciate you doing this and endorsed!
Because the game was rushed and many things were left unfinished. On a positive note it left more than enough to keep modders busy for years...lol. In any case you are quite welcome. Glad you like it. I'm right now finishing up a set for the Knights of The Thorn. Should be up before the evening is out.

BTW you need to include a HelmetAkaviri.egm file so the helmet will conform that a players head. i had to make one so it would fit my character right.
