It's a big hammer.
I agrre with you Daelon re: most of the helmets. That vanilla Horned Steel Helmet for example is almost laughable in appearance.

I like the Ancient Nord Helmet a lot though:

The female version is awesome with the deer antlers as opposed to the ram.

I tend to wear combinations of armor. I very much like the Dawnguard Heavy armor, darker set, with the dark steel pauldrons, and I love the Dawnguard heavy helmet, though I don't use it often because it's pre-enchanted and I can't find one to enchant myself.

If you're not enchanting, you may enjoy that one. The Dawnguard boots and gauntlets aren't anything to write home about, though, so Faendal and I usually end up rocking the heavy armor and a standard steel helmet (no horns) with steel plate boots and gauntlets. I think the Dawnguard helm looks better than standard steel, but I have certain enchantment patterns that require helmet.

The steel plate boots and gauntlets go well with regular steel armor as well, and I prefer the pauldron sets to the vest style.

That is very irrelevant to the build he is going for though.

I know I think he wants more of a traditional nord look rather than fancy or demonic if you know what I'm saying.

I believe you're right that he wanted a traditional nordic appearance, but what's wrong with still throwing ideas TJ? It may spark and idea he hasn't previously though of, or it may not, but does it hurt anyone for the extra idea to be here?

There is nothing wrong with new ideas I just thought in a previous post he said he didn't want daedric or ebony armor because it was too fancy.

How do you backstab a Dragon?

True. Don't use daedric, ebony or dragon bone (to fancy schmancy) or glass or elven (too pretty). Don't care for the helmet on the dragonscale either. Trying for a realistic look and those just aren't it for me. I also don't use falmer or that shiny stuff from solstheim.

I believe you are correct. I just have seen some forums go the way of people being afraid to post, in case their idea doesn't have enough merit.

Don't ever be afraid here! Sure we may get surly and obnoxious sometimes, but, even if we disagree, we still value the opinion and I know I value the info too. :)

Banded armor and the heavy dawngaurd helmet might look pretty cool.

I just got the ancient nord armour for my female character and I must say, even though I have not really been a fan of heavy armour (Though WHY it is called heavy armour is beyond me as it is the skimpiest, sexiest armour there is), I must say honestly I really like it. I suspect the male version is just as nice and I kind of like it for my character as she is from an ancient strain of Nord.
