📋 About This Mod
UPDATED FOR THE REBOOT!
This Mod swaps the vanilla-based imperial armours in Rigmor of Cyrodiil.
The New Imperial Army will use the armours from New Legion (NL); Legion Veterans, Quintus' troops and Casius' Marines will use recolored/retextured armours based on Heavy Legion (HL).
Now also available as retextures for Heavy Legion!
LE Version here
Features:
- all Vanilla or vanilla-based imperial armours replaced
- several HL textures improved and customized
- Marines wear the "Malazan Marines" armour from the old version of the mod
- Praetorians and PO (including new characters in the reboot) now wear the Penitus armour from NL
- Blackwells bodyguards wear the Penitus armour from HL
- Quintus wears General armour
- Falkreath troops wear the Falkreath armour from GAR/SoS
- replaces the Tiber Septim Armour with the Dragon/Emperor Armor from NL. The helmet of that set has been added to the chest that contains Rigmors crowning outfit.
- a sword for Ariel Sethius
- temper recipes for all items
- flagged ESL
Requirements:
-Rigmor of Cyrodiil, obviously
-New Legion: download and install both the "Base" file (contains the meshes) and one
of the texture packs. You CAN disable/delete the plugin (DIS_Heavy_Legion.esp), if you don't want to use NL in the base game - just make sure the meshes and textures are installed correctly.
-Guards Armor Replacer: same thing applies - you don't have to activate the plugin, if you don't want, but the meshes and textures must be there (not required if you use SoS patch)
-Sons of Skyrim: optional patch to use SoS instead of GAR now available. In this case SoS has to be active for the patch to work correctly. (only required if you use the SoS patch)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (219) and over 12k downloads show it's a trusted pick for Rigmor players.
- Makes the Imperial forces in Rigmor look way more badass with New Legion and Heavy Legion gear.
- Includes extra touches like a custom sword for Ariel and temper recipes, so it's not just a texture swap.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires multiple mods (Rigmor of Cyrodiil, New Legion, and either GAR or SoS) to work, so setup is a bit involved.
- If you don't have the required mods installed correctly, you'll get missing meshes or textures in-game.
- The mod is specifically for Rigmor of Cyrodiil, so it's useless if you're not playing that quest mod.
For Skyrim players who are deep into Rigmor of Cyrodiil and want the Imperial factions to look more authentic and varied. It's a must-have if you're already using New Legion and want consistency. Skip if you're not playing Rigmor or don't want to juggle multiple dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install New Legion's Base file and at least one texture pack, but you can disable its plugin if you don't want NL in the base game—just keep the meshes and textures.
- If you use the Sons of Skyrim patch, make sure SoS is active or the patch won't work correctly.
- Since the mod is ESL-flagged, it won't count toward your plugin limit, but you still need to manage load order with your other mods.
