I have to agree that Super Mutant armor was always one of the things about Fallout that amused me.
Beyond always wishing that they would let me PLAY as a Super Mutant... I've also always wished they would let me use some of their less super-human-strength-required armors.
Very awesome work, so far!
The mod Tailor Maide from Fallout 3 included some Super mutant armor actually, at least the bladed helmet and some shoulders i believe. That mod in general was just amazing, if someone doesn't port that over to NV soon, I'll just need to get permission and do it myself.
EDIT: Oh yeah, got some more armor ideas.
I suddenly thought of a food themed super mutant, like a cook or something. I'll try to describe what I'm thinking of.
-Cooking pot for a helmet.
-Chest armor consisting of leather straps with frying pans or pot lids or something attached to cover the chest/stomach.
-Nuka cola/Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles hanging from the belt, along with some chunks of meat and a big spoon, maybe a spatula as well.
-Right wristguard with two knives attached as claws with duct tape.
-Left wristguard, a basic metal wristguard with spikes or something.
-On the back, maybe a shopping cart turned into a backpack filled with human remains or chunks of meat.
-The pants can have holes patched up with nuka cola labels, food labels or whatever.
And, I always thought a tribal super mutant, or possibly nightkin as they seem a bit more tribal already, would be really cool.
-Brahmin skull helmet or shoulderpads, eventually coyote/gecko head helmet.
-For a really badass mutant, Deathclaw head for a helmet.
-Bighorner head works as a helmet too, those horns could look very awesome.
-Leather wristguard with bones bound to it for some protection or a mean backhand.
-Human skulls dangling from belt, maybe with a coyote tail or paws.
-Clothing stitched together with ragged furs and leathers.
-Necklace made from some big monster teeth and maybe a dog skull in the middle.
That's all I've got at the moment.
