As you might have seen I am very busy making a huge expansion for the Hlaalu, see http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1229844-city-of-balmora-hlaalu-expansion/page__fromsearch__1 and my http://praedatorsnest.blogspot.com/.

The Hlaalu will have its own elite Guard, The Great Hlaalu Guard (GHG), and they will wear Kirmun-An Bonemold Armor, like all other Vvardenfell guards.

I want the armor to be distinctive from those, and its AR will be much better. The Kirmun-An armor should have the GHG http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/7741/ghglogo.jpgin a redbrownish tint on the cuirass, and have its own shield type. The colour of the armor should be bonemold ofcourse, though the logo redbrown might continue in parts of the armor, like a stripe or something.

I have no idea about modelling, but I know I want no clipping issues, and no female version is required, but if you can and want it would be good.

So I would really appreciate, concept art for this, and/or a solid modder who can make this armor for me, if you can make the set but not draw concept art, please describe what you have in mind. Ofcourse you will be credited on the blog and in the readme with release.

Thank you in advance,

here's the image for the emblem

TY NZdawghaus very nice

I gave it a try with one of the HELLUVA armors. However, texturing is not my forte :/

Thank you anyway, if you can make good new models I am a step further too.

There must be a good armor modeller around here somewhere.....

hlaalu guards are fairly unique already. telvanni and redoran are different from them. I could probably cobble something up from existing resources. But what are you really looking for?

I would imagine the main thing he wants for the armor is the emblem...

Dunno, That wouldn't be hard. but i got some relased armor resources from alaisagai and st. juib laying around on my HD. They might make a good base for something more custom. Just depends on what his idea for a look is.

Thank you Rattfink, you made my day

I leave the look much up to the ability of te modder, I do not insist on anything. Howwever I would like to have a new set of pauldrons, a helmet, and a shield at least. The cuirass should have the GHG logo imprint in darkreddish brown.

shape of pauldrons: feel free to do something that is nice and fits vanilla
shape of helmet: see above
shape of shield: the outerrim should be the shield as in its logo, it will be a 'normal' shield not towershield. Maybe with logo, I am not sure.
shape of cuirass: might need to change to have the logo on it.

i have a rough start.

I was thinking that it should be imperial influenced. since house hlaalu is the closest to imperial interests. I am going to retex the skirt to match the armor. and emblazon the crest on the shield and pualdrons. the cuirass and helm are custom resources. the pauldrons are the same as regular hlaalu guards. small pauldrons just don't look right with the set. If it's alright. I'd like to leave the cuirass as is. without the crest. Or work it into both sides of the buckle. That might be a good idea. Let me know what you think.

Thank you very much for your efforts so far I really appreciate it;

I like the idea of a skirt, if nicely textured (not reddish as that would be Redoran). I would like to see a custom shield resembling the outlines of the logo/crest, and this crest should be printed on it, somewhat smaller however. I am ok if you want to keep the pauldrons, if a distinguishable crest can be put on it would be nice. So then the Cuirass can be crestless allright (probably difficult due the ribs on it anyway) . For what I can see on your pic (its small) I dislike the helmet, looks to much like an iron/steel helmet, I would rather have a Hlaalu similar one with spikes/horns or open face, different eye/mouth slids, but close to the Hlaalu/Bonemold in general feel.
The belt/buckle is also a nice touch.

I may be able to come up with an open helm from a modified open indoril helm(removing the crest on top) And get the emblem front and center on it. But the shield is beyond me right now. I'll get the armor done up. And maybe once that's done it might inspire a modeler to do the shield.

TY Rattfink, I believe that might work.

Ok, Got the armor done. Just have to do some icons, and a couple of ground nifs. Here is what it looks like.

Do you have any specific stats. I gave it a few more armor points. and a little less weight. while inceasing the value by about 50. And giving it a hit to enchantability. to keep it rounded. Or do you just want to restat it when you get it?

looks much better, very good actually

I like the pauldrons with the logo, and it would be great if the skirt had the same darkbrown colour as the logo on them. Also a distinctive pattern, like a line in bonemold colour with some ornaments along the bottom of the skirt would be very nice. Could you make that?

The AR etc I will adjust anyway, it will be better than regular bonemold.
