> Mod purpose
Warmonger Armory aims to add immersion to your Skyrim experience adding new lore friendly Armors, Weapons and Clothes for both Vanilla Game and DLCs.
All the content of this mod is made in order to blend in seamlessly with the Elder Scrolls universe,
to do so I have taken inspiration from the lore, the past games and obviously Skyrim itself.
My goal is adding content that the player could recognise and associate with the classic Archetypes, so in this mod you will find armors for Barbarians, robes for mages, weapons for rogues and so on.
The outfits of Warmonger Armory are made with tweaked skyrim nifs, and I’ve done this in order to let you chose any texture replacer you are willingly to use seeing it on this mod content. All the armor and clothes of this mod have working weight sliders and custom inventory models aswell as full gender and Racial Support .
( I mentioned this simply because anyone how tried to mess with 3dsMax and armor modding will confirm that making a weight slider for a custom armor composed by more than 20 differnt pieces is a Nightmare ! )
Final note is for requirements: you need nothing but the main updated game for using the main file, but in order to use the optional DLCs pack you’ll need DAWNGUARD and DRAGONBORN.
Using the leveled list is possible only with both DLCs file AND Vanilla file .

> NEW CONTENT IN LEVELED LIST
I originaly made this for myself, but after polishing and a bit of rework , I decided to share this features. It nedded alot of effort but I’m kinda proud of the result: trust me or not, but you’ll notice those changes alot in your playthrougt.
– WARLOCKS > In vanilla game ALL the warlocks ( and every other NPC that uses their outfit ) share plain black robes, from the novice cryomancer to the master fire lord. I never liked that , as since the release of the game I have been amazed with outfit variety on bandits and disappointed with the lack of personality of magic users enemies.
I attemted to fix that : Now all the warlocks uses 3 different outfits according to their level ( custom meshes ), and all those variants comes in 3 color versions , grey, black and brown ( both robes and hoods ). Another change I made is reworking the way the outfits enchantments were placed on robes : now as higher is the level of the warlock you are facing, the better the enchantment on his robes will be.
Warlocks may use gloves now. Because why not ?
– NECROMANCERS > Same treatment as warlocks, now a master lord of the deads uses different robes from his apprentice, the meshes are different, but I preferred maintaining only black for necromancers in order to help recognize them from common warlocks.
Now necromancers uses PLAIN black robes, as I have never understood why the h**l all necromancers ingame decided to print the same, ridiculous skull sticker on their robes.
Seriously. Why ? They all share the same fashion designer ?
That said I have not actually touched the sticker robes, and you’ll be able to eventually find them around Skyrim, but not on necromancers. Please no.
– VAMPIRES > I wanted to create a custom outfit for high level vampires in order to mark their “social” position between the average blooddrinker and the royality of castle volkihar. Vampire noble robes comes in 3 color variants, and as said are a visual connection between average robes and royal robes. Now vampires can wear proper gloves, and there is a small chance to find arcane rings on vampires ( unenchanted version of quest-related vampire rings )
> Install and compatibility
To install the files Nexus Mod Manger is suggested, but if you want ot do it manually simply unpack the files into your Skyrim folder.
In most cases it is: Drive letter:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonskyrim
I cleaned Both the filed with TES5Edit and I doubt that anything from this mod will cause any kind of problem, as the mod alter nothing but only add new content.
Only incompatibility should occur with mods that alter the whole crafting system.
NEW v 1.2 I reworked some crafting recipes and materials with compatibility in mind .
In any case, please report any problem.
