About this image

Inspired by a Skyrim/Fallout 4 crossover sketch (might've forgot the author's name) and decided to turn it into a full power armor mod. Been working on it for a bit now and have more or less finished the high-poly model.
Feedback is welcomed as always.
The plan is to make this armor complement survival mode, camping and harsh weather mods. I'm thinking of replacing the jetpack modification with a backpack...
Not finalised a name for it yet, but ideas I have are Barbarian Power Armor, TES-51 and Survivalist Power Armor. If you have a better idea, let me know!

Also planning for that outer ring around the neck to be a fur collar, and for it to have Nordic runes reminiscent of the Steel armor from Skyrim.

Special thanks to DogToothCG for giving me his render settings, to make this WIP shot so much nicer!

    I would love a version without the runes and the horns. The armor is amazing, I just can't see someone manufacturing power armor with horns and nordic runes in the Fallout world.

      Manufactured? Probably not. Later alterations? Quite likely - remember Ashur's armour in The Pitt?

      It could be from a particularly tough deathclaw battle and they put the horns on their power armor

      How does one attach horns to power armor? lol. Good point, some weird ass raider or something.

      Or a Norse Pagan feeding into the cliche...

    I think Daedric power armor just as a concept is enough to send someone running. I'd love to see it happen if you're up to doing it.

      Imagine the bleed damage someone would suffer hitting you? Deathclaws would kill themselves trying to take a swipe...

    I personally think 'T-35V' sounds more accurate. (Cause you know... TES:V... and it's more in line with the PA naming convention. And it's a lower model number because it's inspired by old armour designs.)

      I support this naming scheme, though it sadly makes me think the armor's stats would have to be between raider and T-45, and that would limit it's usefulness a lot.

    I like the general concept.

    Here some feedbacks, use whatever you like

    Some work on the Horns:
    Instead a cosmetic horn, they could be the standard tubes (like those in the 'breather' ) that start Larger and become tiny (and eventually multiple) attaching on the breather.

    So they could seem a 'Normal' power armor, but remind the skyrim's helmet if you already know the helmet itself (or when seen from a specific angle) OR simply be the standard tubes, but broken exactly on that point (and so remember the Skyrim horn helmet).
    Also placed a bit more up could improve the feeling of 'horns'.



    It's a shame that there isn't already an grapple hook mod, it will fit nicely on that, instead of the jetpack.

    If I've understood right, you want to make a Survivor Power armor.
    So something that get weared for long period of time, should consume the less power possible and allow to carry more weight.
    So: Pockets, backpacks, scarfs (to be less visible), the pelt of an animal (like a radstag), bullets magazines.

    About other elements:
    I suggest something similar of the decoration of the Skyrim steelplate on the shoulders (but this, as you know, it's about textures)
    and maybe a 'Loincloth' like that in the Skyrim studded leather armor or an extra piece of metal on the side (like the metal stud in the left side of the studded leather armor)

    Thinking about the 'background' of the armor:
    -Could be something related to anchorage (like almost 70% of things ) Some sort of 'commemorative armor' or a crazy plan of battle where the US powerarmor were dressed like Vikings.
    -A powerarmor/mascotte of a rugby squad (the Vikings) used by the army to increase the volunteers for the enlist, like a surreptitious advertising.

    Anyway good work, I'm eager to see that finished

    I feel so bad for Flipdark, if Unoctium isn't doing the same armor he's making it's someone else.

    We'll just have to see I guess. Great work though Edible.

      Honestly I only found out that he was doing one yesterday...
      His looks to be very different from mine though, and the more the merrier!
      I don't want to be the cause of him stopping production on that power armor.

      Anyway, glad you like mine

      Yeah that's probably because I constantly forget to post updates or WIPs here haha

      I like your take on it though. With mine, I'm going for a more salvaged feel with bits and pieces of different creatures acting as different mods you can equip on the armor.

      I think it looks a bit chunky in a few places and maybe could a few parts such as the helmet could use a bit of slimming, but it looks great.

      Honestly both look amazing, and I hope both become PA in their own right

    And add this armor to Skyrim, like some of the Dwemer armor.

    Talking about power armours and the Elder Scrolls, I'd kinda like a power armour based off Bonemold from Morrowind.
