This is first and foremost hothtrooper44's armor, I just made a simple retexture. All credit goes to him, and permissions should be requested from him for more extensive use of his files than just retexturing.

Hothtrooper44's Vanguard Plate Armor is by far my favorite modded armor on the Nexus. I just thought that it was a bit too bright and shiny for my own liking, and possibly others' as well. So, I toned down the metal plating to be more in line with some other iron and steel retexture work on the Nexus. Leather, cloth and fur has also been muted, darkened and desaturated. (Goes great with Book of Silence by aMidianBorn).
Version 1.2 Added. Plate armor pieces desaturated (some red came into play while messing with contrast). Blue cloth darkened and desaturated a bit. Hanging cloth tinted to a deep red for a little character
