    Update 1.01: Fixed missing mipmaps on half res file. No changes on main 4k/2k version.

    The latest mod in this series is out! Thank you all for the support! I am taking a few day off before starting the next one. I am still debating if I should do more of these smaller ones first and keep alternating between big project and small. Let me know what you'd like to see next! I am currently thinking Elven or wolf.

    Seems like most people are asking for Elven, so that should be the next project! It'll be a big one, so don't expect it for next week. I'll keep posting WIPs on my nexus profile and some extra screenshots on my patreon.

    Also, please note that I will not do any optional recolors/brighter environment masks, etc. Feel free to give your feedback, but I think adding optional versions would get too overwhelming. I can however tell you what nif settings or textures to tweak if you want to do some changes yourself, but are not sure how. I will make sure to keep everyone's feedback in mind for future mods in this series

    The retexture is great as always, but I do wish there was a version which kept the purple helmet and highlights on the shield. I find them quite charming.

    Any chance you could make a matching set of boots and gloves that go with the Aegis of the apocalypse texture? mostly replacing the blue cloth.

    Hello, do the textures use BC7 compression?

      BC7 for diffuse and normal, BC4 greyscale for environment masks (_m textures)

    Hey Xav, beautiful work as always. Just wondering, what mod are you using to make the katanas (presumably) two-handed and sheathed on the back?

    For those using Unique Uniques instead of LOTD, you need to edit the file path of this mod to use the dragonbane and oathblade retextures. Check the weapons in the FOMOD and then move the dragonbane and oathblade folders from textures/insanity/weapons/unique to textures/weapons

    Idk if xavbio wants to add an option in the FOMOD for Unique Uniques users or not, its pretty easy to fix on the user end.

    The only thing that upsets me is that this mod does not contain unique textures for Dragonbane and Bolar's oathblade, independent of LOTDs.

      Both use the normal blades sword in vanilla as the model so you would need to make a plugin to add new textures to them without LoTD or Unique Uniques

    Love the look of these textures!

    If you plan on updating this in the future, is there any way you could consider adding a patch for Watcher's Gear - From The Elder Scrolls Blades?

    Hey, would you consider adding a patch for Unique Uniques? As that has the same models/assets that are used in LotD for Bolar's Oathblade and Dragonbane, just different texture paths afaik.

    Another stellar retex btw. Looking forward to whatever set you decide to do next.

    Thank you for this mod.

    The best thing about this blade retexture is it finally fixed the shiny look I was getting across different versions of blade armour sets, be it Bikini armours or other remodeled armour mods, the chest plate would often look very different in colour/texture when I was trying mix and match for screenshots. 

    Even tried many different cubemap mods to try and fix it but that still didn't help, using you mod to overwrite my other vanilla replaces fixes the issue.

    Your Orc retextures also fixed same issue I would have on that armour set as well. As some of the bikini pieces would still use the light green vanilla look despite the fact I had Amidianborn textures installed. So when I was once again trying to mix and match different armour mods some pieces would look very different and not match.

    Thank you for both mods.
