Kreiste's Barbarian Defender REDUX from Rising of the Shield Hero (HIMBO - CBBE - 3BA - BHUNP)

An overhaul of my old armor set with brand new texture, now for both men and women of Skyrim.

• While the design is inspired from Naofumi of The Rising of the Shield Hero, the two protagonist of the mobile game Granblue Fantasy; the 3D model is made and sculpted from scratch by yours truly.

• The armor, excluding the chestguard, is of Steel tier and of Light Armor type. (It has Leather keyword though in case other mods need it.)

• The chestguard is modular (Slot 56) and adds more protection, but flagged as Heavy Armor. However, they do not have Heavy Armor keyword and retains Light Armor keyword so it won't interfere with perks.

• The Shield can be crafted at a forge if you have Steel Smithing perk. As to not clutter your crafting menu, you need to have the shield in your inventory to unlock the armor recipes.

• The fingergloves are taken straight off Dark Brotherhood gloves. The original color of the gloves is red; and while I honestly think it still looks good, if you want to have it dyed black, you might want to have a texture replacer installed.

• The old mod are not required; but I keep the files on coz free backup.

• The female armor Bodyslide has Zap Slider to turn the shorts into trousers for those who desire.

• This is the hardest outfit I ever had to convert for female body. I tried my best. If it's not up to your standard, I apologize. If you want to help fit it better, lemme know so I can include it on the downloads.

• 2k and 4k textures options are included as optional downloads.

Requirements :

• CBBE or CBBE 3BA or

Permission :

Please contact me if you'd like to use the assets in this mod or make a conversion. I'd also prefer it if my assets stay within Nexus Mods and/or Vector Plexus.

Additionally, I do not want my works to be edited/modified/morphed/derived for SMMB. I do not want to associate my creation with that mod. Please respect my decision :)
