📋 About This Mod
New Legion Redux
Adds a somewhat lore-friendly improvement for every Imperial Armor in the game and a new Gladius look for the Imperial Sword to keep it consistent.
This is a minimalistic, vanilla friendly replacer version of NordwarUAs New Legion mod, if you want more variants and extra features use the original mod.
Compatible with Survival Mode since it's vanilla just with improved looks, 1. 5. 97 & 1. 6+ both supported, and it works with any NPC overhaul and Civil War Quest overhaul.
Loading screens still use the vanilla armor, until I make a fix I recommend Starlit Lakes Loading Screens.
Standalones:
Imperial Scout Armor
Imperial Soldier Armor
Elite Imperial Armor

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 382 endorsements and over 20k downloads.
- Vanilla-friendly approach means it won't clash with other texture mods.
- Lightweight and minimalistic, so it won't tank your FPS.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Legion gear—if you want Stormcloak or other faction armor, look elsewhere.
- As a replacer, it might conflict with other mods that alter the same Legion armor meshes.
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
For Skyrim players who want a subtle, lore-friendly upgrade to Legion armor without a full overhaul. If you're a completionist who likes collecting armor sets, this gives you a fresh look for the Imperial side. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes or want to overhaul all factions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, make sure to load it after other mods that modify Legion armor to ensure it takes effect.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily install and manage this mod, and to avoid overwriting issues.
- If you're playing with Skyrim Special Edition, check that the mod version matches your game version to avoid crashes.
