Don’t worry, cause this list has you covered. Here is a top 10 list of Skyrim armor mods that are sure to make you a genuine badass within the world of Skyrim.

10. Stormlord Armor

Starting off pretty light, Stormlord armor is on the more lore-friendlier side of this list. Mod outfits Ulfric with this mod, making him a bit more imposing and a true Lord of the sons of Skyrim. Side with the Imperials and kill him to take it, craft it, or use console commands to make yourself a true Stormlord.

9. Daedric Reaper Armor

Do you feel like Skyrim daedric armor is a bit underwhelming and not spiky or demonic enough? Daedric Reaper Armor mod adds just that to the game. The new armor is bulkier, spikier and more fitting for roleplaying an evil character that descended from the depths of Oblivion. Also, the female version is a bit more succubus-like sexy badass.

8. Alfheim Knights 

Alfheim Knights is a mod that brings the fusion of elven Ayleid race and the bulkiness of Nord armor, perfect for roleplaying an elven knight character.

7. DCR – King Crusader Armor

King Crusader armor is best described as a more armored Witch King from the Lord Of The Rings movies. It looks absolutely badass and it greatly fits a battlemage type of character.

6. Knight Of Thorns Armor

This Dark Souls inspired armor mod will turn you into a badass, eye glowing armored knight ready to make Alduin his plaything.

5.Silver Dragon Armor

You are Dragonborn. This should mean that you should get access to a bit better armor that showcases your awesome, awe-inspiring status beside strapping some dragon bones to your armor. Well, with the Silver Dragon armor, you won’t escape anyone’s notice as the badass dragon slayer you are.

4. Zerofrost Mythical Armors

A few mods on this list come from Zerofrost, known for making mods of consistent, high quality. His mythical armors are no different. This mod changes the Nightingale armor a bit to make it more awesome than it already was, as well as adding Dragon Lord male and Valkyrie female armor which look absolutely stunning and badass.

3. Drakul Armor

Vampire Lord transformation ain’t got nothing on this armor. If you want to look and feel like a true vampire lord that should be sitting in his castle throne, ordering his subjects to bring him fresh blood – this is the one armor mod you need.

2. Avatar of Balthazar

Bethesda take notes cause Avatar of Balthazar could easily make base Daedric armor in next TES game. It’s terrifying and demonic with glowing eyes and other armor segments. Ideal for an evil playthrough.

1. TERA Armors Collection

TERA Online has been widely known for it’s flashy, bulky, sexy and badass armor designs. Someone got the bright idea to import most of them into Skyrim and the results are insane. This mod contains too many armors to list, from light armors to heavy ones, male or female, knight armors, demonic armors – it’s got it all. They are not lore friendly at all, but that doesn’t stop them from looking absolutely badass, even in the world of Skyrim.
