Perfect Legionairre I'm currently playing an Imperial soldier who started off with a set of the light armour, which is now actually suitable for Skyrim's climate and doesn't look goofy like in vanilla, what with having, you know, SLEEVES and LEGS.
Looks great with aMidianBorn's retexture. If you use this and a retexture for the iron/banded iron armour, then with MO just move the retexture lower down the left pane, with NMM you'll need to re-install your chosen retexture over the top. Unfortunately the Steel Armour with Sleeves mod, for some reason, completely borks the arms (more so on female characters IIRC) making them look like flattened/bent straws, so I don't advise that. esp - there's another for Banded Iron Armour with Sleeves (also on the Nexus) which I like a lot as well. Iron Armour with Sleeves For some reason I vastly prefer the iron armour with this mod, which just adds a pair of chainmail-looking sleeves.
