The Might of Ascalon

My initial ideas began with the full human cultural set (T3) and I built from there. I already had most of the set; boots, shoulderpads, helmet and gloves, so building from there wasn't particularly hard for me. I considered the cultural chest and legs but the more I stared at Garen's new look, the more I played him, I couldn't help but notice that his leggings were more clothlike than the bulkiness T3 provided. The Cultural T3 chest piece just made my character feel too fat.

Instead I opted for the two Vigil pieces, the leggings offering me a sleeker, clothlike feel and the chestpiece much slimmer, giving me the scarf around the neck as well. I had considered using the Dark pauldrons instead of the T3, but the dye channels didn't match, and on top, it didn't give the bulky feel I felt when using the Cultural.

The grey (Burnished Steel) is a color I've been incredibly fond of for a while now. It brings out an immense amount of detail in Heavy armours. Sand was chosen over Gold because I find that Gold is a strong colour for metal, and I personally prefer a more faded, used colour. Sand was what came up. Sapphire was originally a colour I used as a house colour for my character's noble house and it stuck as it matches the deep blue of Garen's armour as well.
