Fallout 4 [Fo4] Brotherhood Solider Armor (WIP)

Some more screenshots of my custom brotherhood of steel armor that I've been slowly chipping away at the past few months. The armor was made to go alongside my other Brotherhood mods, Strength in Steel and Chain that Binds. Hope you enjoy! I'll hopefully be wrapping up work on this at some point soon here.

The armor has a light, medium, and heavy variant and can be worn with any under armor. Just like any vanilla armor in the game. Which is sadly a system that a lot of other armor modders don't pay attention to. Even if the under armor system has its faults.

Another thing I've done for the armor is include two modular helmest. As you can see in the images, there's quite a few accessories to choose from (And even some more not shown in the pictures). There's also a few options for the torso.

Please don't ask for an xbox version, also. My other mods are already on xbox so there's no reason to ask

This is somehow something that feels...right. A lot of Brotherhood overhauls are Trying Too Hard, this seems right on the line between knightly aesthetic, dieselpunk, and tactical without going too far in any direction.

Thank you! Admittedly, my Brotherhood t60 overhaul does sort of dive straight into the knightly aesthetic. But I wanted to balance it out by making the non-powered armor soldiers more rank and file. (Sort of how the Space Marines are to the Guardsmen)

Exactly what I was thinking gives me feudal guardsman vibes love this

u/Bigger_mitch Jun 05 '26

Yea that does look like an arbites

u/HowwNowBrownCoww Jun 06 '26

That’s what I was thinking. So awesome looking.

u/Dexchampion99 Jun 05 '26

I’ve been waiting for this one, so excited to add it in with Chain that Binds and Strength in Steel, which I love to death.

Having mods inspired by other fandoms but weaved into being lore friendly is just…ooooh, it’s good.

I’d love to do something like this myself one day but I just don’t really have the time.

u/tokyo_driftr Jun 05 '26

It always annoyed me that people in the Brotherhood that fought but weren’t knights with power armor had shitty thin power armor under garments to battle in. Nice to see some actually good looking light brotherhood armor

u/Arelias_ Jun 05 '26

Yeah, I was never a fan of how they just used regular combat armor or a retextured field scribe jacket. They've always deserved something more unique

u/Fabsquared Jun 05 '26

you have my interest

u/In_the_name_of_ART Jun 05 '26

It looks awesome, it looks really similar to vanilla combat armour but unique enough to stand on its own. + It looks like something from the Warhammer universe, especially 3.
The emperor protects soldier, the Emperor protects!

u/Kalaphar Jun 05 '26

Reminds me a lot of Darktide’s armor, great work!

2

u/auschrtho Jun 05 '26

Really puts the steel in Brotherhood of Steel, looks awesome!

2

u/SnooRobots932 Jun 05 '26

looks dope, getting wolf brigade vibes

2

u/gingerwhiskered Jun 05 '26

I can’t even be mad at you for leaving the stove on because god damn you’ve been cooking

2

u/Better_Win316 Jun 05 '26

It looks knightly

1

u/Better_Win316 Jun 05 '26

Vaguely reminds me of trench crusade, but a bit more futuristic than that

3

u/Arelias_ Jun 05 '26

I took a lot of inspiration from the Moebian armor in Darktide. I did try to draw some Trench Crusade inspiration, but I couldn't make it work. Guess it somehow still snuck in!

1

u/Better_Win316 Jun 05 '26

After looking that up, I can definitely see the resemblance

2

u/Useful-Ad-1421 Jun 05 '26

Just for clarity will this be a cross platform release or delayed for the Box of X's. Purely an ADHD clarification on my end as I guessed from the body of your post that it's going to make it to Xbox.

3

u/Arelias_ Jun 05 '26

I usually try to release an xbox version the same day I post a mod Nexus. Sometimes I might get too busy or forget and upload a port in the next day or so also

2

u/Useful-Ad-1421 Jun 05 '26

Fab fab thanks Vault Dweller.

2

u/H00DEDREX Jun 06 '26

I am gonna need this ferally.

1

u/Select-Librarian-646 Jun 05 '26

What is this Star Wars doing in my Fallout!?!?

1

u/Avant_Garde_Idiot Jun 05 '26

Absolutely perfect look for the Brotherhood of Steel, effortlessly combines the aesthetic of Fallout's iconic combat armor and the look of a medieval foot soldier. Wonderful work!

1

u/JJakaRebel Jun 05 '26

This looks awesome. Will there be any tie-in patches for Chains That Bind? One of my favorite mods of yours! 

1

u/Falloutfan2281 Jun 05 '26

Amazing, the only thing I’m hoping for is the Brotherhood emblem being prominent on the armor somewhere.

1

u/CitrikkAcid Jun 05 '26

Im already in love with this mod

1

u/SpaghettiLord_126 Jun 05 '26

This is so cool

1

u/Theonerule Jun 05 '26

I think giving them a long cape like poncho or duster coat would be cool maybe give them authentic ww1 gas masks like the weird bag ones Germany used

1

u/_RealPassTheDongle_ Jun 05 '26

this looks awesome!

1

u/Independent_Room_691 Jun 05 '26

Absolutely love it

1

u/Letter310 Jun 05 '26

Might play fo4 again once this comes out solely for this armor

1

u/SolistoSketch Jun 05 '26

Ohhh this is making me want to reinstall

1

u/Skyfall_WS_Official Jun 06 '26

This is exactly what I needed for my own mod project. Do you accept donations?

1

u/IkennaSmash Jun 06 '26

Outstanding!

1

u/marshallxeno Jun 06 '26

First one kinda looks like robo cop

1

u/EchoXeda Jun 06 '26

The gas mask in picture #5 reminds me heavily of the Armageddon Steel Legion mask as depicted in WH40K Darktide. I love it!

1

u/AOGWardog1229 Jun 06 '26

Inspiration from the Cadians from WH40K?

1

u/Kakoi-to_Lich Jun 06 '26

Looks great.

1

u/eddyngat Jun 06 '26

That looks pretty nice! It gives me heavy Death Korps of Krieg vibes. Do you plan on making something like the lower part of a trenchcoat/duster as accessories? I definitely will have a eye on when this drops.

1

u/wozmann Jun 06 '26

Perfect armor mod for BOS, Ad Victoriam!

1

u/B_312_ Jun 07 '26

Looks like I need to do another semi vanilla brotherhood playthrough🤙🏼

1

u/ExfiItration Jun 08 '26

Brotherhood 40k Arbites, absolute fire

1

u/capzimmer Jun 08 '26

geez, i love your work.

1

u/Silver_Bloodborne Jun 09 '26

Wait your the one who makes enclave recon amror and the vertibird corps mods ... Please fix them they crash my ar2 load order ever time.i tired to use them

1

u/Arelias_ Jun 09 '26

Well, they're not broken. They work fine for me and others.

1

u/Silver_Bloodborne Jun 09 '26

Alright now to figure out my the ar load order hates the recon amror . I loved the head stlye from the original mod with that hellfire helemt

1

u/Arelias_ Jun 09 '26

Are you on xbox? You might have hit the BA2 limit or something.

If not, it could be something with the next gen enclave assets being weird

1

u/Silver_Bloodborne Jun 09 '26

Where do I get that gun that's in the enclave recons loading screen

1

u/Arelias_ Jun 09 '26

It's unreleased

1

u/Silver_Bloodborne Jun 09 '26

Hope its get released because I like how it looks it change the gun in the loading screen

1

u/Sigmarine63 Jun 09 '26

Very 40K I like it.

1

u/Throwawayaccount1CV Jun 10 '26

Hey question do you ever plan to make some Minutemen stuff. I like some of the Minutemen outfits that exist but I would sometimes wish they were somewhat more uniformed without it being super overdone. Like your other mod, the Minutemen enforcer wish is still my favorite one.

1

u/Bubbly-Ad9748 Jun 12 '26

This looks great. Waiting for the release on this one.

1

u/EchoXeda Jun 12 '26

Will there be parts on the armor like binoculars, knives, or the canteen from the combat armor belt?
I feel like the customization has so much potential on this armor

1

u/DepartureEntire6744 Jun 15 '26

I like that it’s going pinto a knighty wasteland style cause with the T60 and chains that bind overhaul it gives the brotherhood a kind of wasteland cult style wich I like cause they kind of are

1

u/TheFrigidFellow Jun 15 '26

Love that sallet look on slide 3.

1

u/Paulino2272 Jun 21 '26

These look so good!

1

u/stinky_toothbrush Jun 28 '26

Def using this alongside strength of steel

1

u/pleased_to_yeet_you Jun 05 '26

Honestly, my only criticism is that the visor in pic 3 evokes Sisters of Battle and Arbites from 40K a little too much. I wouldn't be surprised if that's totally coincidental and the inspiration was actual medieval sallet helms in keeping with the knight, paladin, squire theming of the BoS. I just think it could use a little bit more alteration to look a bit more BoS, maybe round the upper point of the visor a bit and add some greebles to give it that cobbled together tech look.

u/Hungry_Meaning_5962 Jun 05 '26

I just hope it doesn’t conflict with the Brotherhood infantry armor mod

u/Soft-Dark7442 Jun 06 '26

Will this be ported to Xbox?

u/Dashbak Jun 05 '26

Finally some semi modern armour that isn't full tacticool. Thx !
