Well... I decided that the melee need a little eye candy too. So I've gone ahead and made a warrior based inventory mod. A LOT of experimenting went into this, but I'm fairly happy with the end result so far. May still tweak this some, but it looks okay for you folks to check out for yourselves at this point.

Enjoy... and please... LOTS of feedback on this so I can improve it more before I officially release it.
Inspiration for this mod came from seeing a techno design that xlorepdarkhelm did at some point. No code or graphics from xlorepdarkhelm's mod were used, just the inspiration.
