This armor is worn by Martian soldiers from the tv show The Expanse.
The closest I can find is the “VIGILANCE” mod in the creations menu, which is amazing but wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.
The vanilla shock trooper spacesuit is similar enough, but the helmet is horrendous imo.
Thanks!
The ebony armor was always awesome looking to me, but it never quite looked “Nordic” compared to literally any other set themed around the Nords like the iron, steel, steel plate, etc…ESO did this quite well.
It just always looked Elven to me, especially with the little wings on the helmet resembling elf ears and the pauldrons being pointy like the bonemold armor.
That’s when it dawned on me regarding the similarities:
-the legs and gauntlets are exactly the same
-they both have somewhat similar hip plates
-both have something covering the groin area, while the Nords usually have animal hide (or nothing)
-the helmet has a piece that resembles the Ancient Falmer crown pretty well, with the pointed back ears connected by a plate over the forehead
We know that just like in real life, cultures in TES craft armor in their own way. I’m thinking this was either:
A. Snow Elves already had their own sets of ebony armor, and the Atmorans copied their technique upon discovering ebony, and the style just happened to weasel its way in over time.
B. A blacksmith or two happened to take pity on the Snow Elves, and tried to commemorate their memory in some way by making the standard shape of a prized metal resemble their warriors.
