The Imperial Legion use roman styled armor. The Blades use Akavir inspired armor, which looks like a cross between asian and roman.

BTW the pic the OP posted reminds ofhttp://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii79/embarq_bph/Mortal%20Kombat%20Renders/Scorpion-MK9-1.png.

OP successfully trolled. Good work. At least a lot of people could immediately tell it wasn't "Skyrim" Just by the colors used.

I see the Blades armor more in the roman armor than I do in the asian one you posted. It has the bands of metal fastened at the front just like the Lorica Segmentata as well as the bands over the shoulder. Nor are the bands laced together (or trimmed) like the asian armor you posted.

While the Orcish armor in Morrowind resembled samurai armor and in Oblivion resembled Mongolian.

It's not Skyrim.

I REALLY like it!!! A pity it isn't for Skyrim

I think that looks wicked cool and I hope it's in Skyrim.

As this is not Skyrim related we can close this.
