It contains the armors from this mod and other NordWarUA's works as standalone items. Great variety of armors for an immersive playthrough.


I love NordwarUA's armor mods, they are top-notch and most importantly fit in Skyrim's aesthetic imo. Though most of his mods are replacer but I want to keep vanilla's armors too. I made this mod for my personal use but NordwarUA is kind enough to give me permission to share this on Nexus. Thanks NordwarUA.

This mod adds new elven and orcish armors for the Thalmors and Orcs in Skyrim to increase variety of their armors. They are all standalone, craftable and distributed to appropriate NPCs.
You will find the Thalmor soldiers wearing the new armors and Orcs in stronghold wearing new outfits according to their ranking and classes.

Stats are are around the same with elven armors. Craftable with elven smithing perk.

Thalmor Elite Armors Set

Orcish Berserk Armors Set
Light armors. Stats are around the same with scaled armor. Craftable with orcish smithing perk.

Optional Files
Elven Weapons Retexture
Retexture for vanilla elven weapons to match the color of the new armors. If you are using aMidianBorn's vanilla elven armor texture, it should not have noticeable difference unless you are an artist or have keen eye for colors. However it won't match the vanilla elven armors' texture.

Orcish Weapons Retexture
Retexture for vanilla orcish weapons to match the color of the new armors. If you are using aMidianBorn's vanilla orcish armor and weapon texture, it should not have noticeable difference unless you are an artist or have keen eye for colors. You can choose to overwrite the aMidianBorn texture depending on your preference.

Recommendations
Elven Blades - Elven Sword and Greatsword Model Replacers: I suggest to use the standalone version to increase variety for weapons. The new swords fit perfectly with this mod's new elven armros. The rextexture also works great on the new swords.
aMidianBorn Book of Silence: Highly suggest to use aMidianBorn rextexture for the vanilla elven and orcish armors so that the color is more consistent with the new armors in this mod.
Truly Light Elven Armor: Make the vanilla elven armor better looking so they won't be completely "outclassed" by Nordwar's elven armor.
Skyrim Revamped - Loot and Encounter Zones: Great loot mod with balance and fun in mind. The level lists of this mod is designed with SRLEZ in mind. 
Honed Metal: It's really good if your character don't master smithing but want the armors in this mod.
Kireina Skyrim SE - Human and Elf Facegen Overhaul: Overhaul all the vanilla NPCs including dlcs. Great aesthetic sense. Also it don't use plugin so it has great compatibility. The NPCs in the image section are using this with WICO skins.
aMidianBorn Content Addon - Added more variety of armors. Thalmors have their own elven and glass variant armors.
