📋 About This Mod
|| History's finest ||
I've been watching a lot of 'For Honor' clips and decided, yeah, that'll probably look cool. So I up and decided to kitbash some Helldiver armour and see if I could make armour out of armour.
So in the style of the DP-40's black and gold I'm proud to unveil History's Finest, a kitbash project of warrior and knight themed armours, current plans entail the French Templars, Nordic Valkyries, and Greek Hoplites
The mod also comes in girl flavour because I know someone's probably gonna ask and there's nothing better than a lady clad in armor. May look a bit wonky, I'm still getting the hang of painting custom textures.
This IS a solo project so the time between new additions is dependent on me and my schedule so thanks for sticking around.
Please let me know of any major clipping errors, asset sharing, or if you want to give some feedback and suggestions

"Ah yes, the HF-42 assault armor, codenamed; "Bushi". I've visited the museums in Sector 2 and the armor replicas of Super Earths ancient civilizations were the most prominent, couldn't take my eyes off 'em! My creative gears started spinning. The 'Bushi' or 'Samurai', as they were also known, were warriors of tradition, swordsmanship, and most of all, Democracy. Their tales of bravery inspired this particular armor. Oh! and one more thing, I designed some extra helmets if you're looking for some variety. Wear 'em with honor, Helldiver."

"The Templars were a covenant of noble soldiers, bastions of the very fabric of their way of life. They were unflinching wards of those whom they protected and on those they deemed unfaithful they enacted glorious retribution. Helldiver, with that armor comes that very same duty. Your orders are simple: Purge the heretical and raze those undemocratic heathen strongholds to ash."
- Officer Alberich , Ministry of Truth: Division

"Oh wow! you really want me to give a description for the Helldivers' new armor? Huh? You're already recording? Sorry, sorry! ahem Prosperity City's Mythological section archives detail a regiment of women called 'Valkyries' who guided warriors who fell in battle to the afterlife. These angelic figures are also noble warriors in their own right and personify battle, glory, victory, and Democracy!......was that good? Yes? Great! Um...you're gonna cut that bit out rig-"
