Inspired by the light-weight Skaal armor set (which has now also been made craftable and temperable at any forge) this mod pack uses vanilla assets to create an outfit suitable for those of you who like to wear Heavy armor and want to feel like a walking tank through the cold mountains of Tamriel.
Also, to lighten your load, we've added a new lore-friendly backpack model with a +60 carry weight enchantment.
DVAted's suggestion of building the Elder Scrolls' equivalent armor of a Juggernaut's (heavy weapons specialist) attire sparked enough interest to inspire tumbajamba to act upon it. Together we've discussed each shape of the uniquely badass Heavy Boots, Gauntlets, Cuirass and 2 (yes: TWO) Helmet variations for the very peculiar tastes of each of you.
In our opinion we have achieved the goal of adapting a heavy winter coat to a heavier iron-plated armor that feels both epic and lore-friendly.
Also, for the sheer fun of it, we've added a boss-type character, Juggernaut, in the Highpoint Tower tunnel on Solstheim, in the Ashlands. If he's not in the tunnel, you will probably find him wandering North - North-West or West of Highpoint Tower, stepping over some Ash Spawn with his large boots.
!!!Be careful: he is high level, has a great deal of health and is very aggressive!!!
But he's not overpowered, he actually doesn't do much damage with his iron mace :)
This was designed for a nice long duel that you will remember, not for a quick and easy execution of either the NPC or, most frustratingly, of you.
He has a short background story in a letter in his inventory, to make the whole setup (and origin of the armor) as lore-friendly and believable as possible.
For these reasons he will not respawn. Once you kill him he's dead and will only respawn if you uninstall the mod and install it again on a clean save.
