Perhaps my oldest mod and first mashup!
Thanks for checking out this Legion Power Armor. It comes in two armor variants, four helmets, and optional gear. Also included is a new one-handed blade of the Malpais.
The optional replacer file will make the Legion Power Armor worn by the Legate. Variants of his vanilla armor are then applied to the Praetorians and also the Legionaries fighting at the Second Battle for Hoover Dam. NOTE: If you want a copy of the "DamWar" variant, check Caesar's footlocker (facial hair may clip). Caesar's New Regime is the later and preferred replacer version, however. If you still want to rock these early armors.
1. Credits and Permissions
First and foremost, credits go to the following:
CaBaL120 (bornagain textures) - For an AMAZING job on the textures. He took a mesh of about 17 different combined parts, re-UV mapped the whole thing, then made the textures from scratch! This project would have been a far cry from what it is without him and I can't thank him enough.
daejones - Without him, this mod wouldn't be what it is. He referred me to Cabal and helped me take my first steps in modding.
lautasantenni - For the horns on the helmet near the mouth and the shoulder pauldrons. Be sure to check out his Ashur T-51 mod for FO3 if you have the required files. His work is awesome.
Hedzots - For the facemask variant worn by Legionaries at the second battle for hoover dam.
You can use this armor for whatever you want. However, make sure you credit the above guys and get their permission too. Also, a PM would be nice to let me know how it's being used. Otherwise, consider all my mods (past, present, and future) to be modder's resources. This is with the understanding that you grant the same permission to others with your work. We're all here to enhance the modding community of a game we love. Honesty and generosity are virtues. P.S. - If you ask if you can use this armor in your mod, it means you haven't read this paragraph (because the answer would be yes). So, for you, the answer is no.
2. Location:
In a crate in the Legion's safehouse.
For the replacer armor worn by Legionaries at the Second Hoover Dam battle, check Caesar's footlocker for the Legion Warrior armor.
3. Mod Explanation
Want some backstory for the armor? Here it is.
---------------------------------------------------
As the time of the Legion's first assault on Hoover Dam drew near, members of the original Blackfoot clan--now high ranking Legionaries--sought to pay their respects to Caesar and the Malpais. What they produced was a set of armor for the Malpais to wear as he led them in battle. Before Graham ever saw the armor however, those responsible for constructing the armor presented it to Caesar seeking his blessing.
Caesar's reaction was not what they had hoped. His anger poured out as he scolded his Legion for secretly producing an armor that borrowed so heavily from the technology and culture he hoped to transcend. He charged Lucius with destroying the armor and warned that any such future offense would be met with death.
Lucius was troubled by Caesar's decision. The armor was powerful... intimidation forged in its plates.. fear stamped into its footsteps. In a secret act of defiance, Lucius sent the armor to Atticus for storage in the Legion's safehouse.
Graham soon met the same fate as the armor meant for him: Rejected by Caesar and cast away from the Legion in the crosshairs of destruction.
The armor now waits for you to determine its use.
Will you see the redemption of it as you serve it's original purpose? Perhaps wearing it as you lead the Legion's second assault on the Dam? How many rangers will fall to the Courier clad in the Legion Gladiator Power Armor? What are the stories that will spread of a new Legion monster more deadly than Lanius himself?
Or will you take it up as a symbol of Graham's revenge? Will the armor Caesar rejected return to haunt the Legion as a plague they cannot escape? How many Legion warriors will the Courier slaughter under the protection of the Legion Exile Power Armor?
You decide.
