I would block out armor pieces roughly with dynamesh in zbrush.  Once you have your shapes blocked in this way, I would retopo them to get clean versions.  You can crease edges in a 3d modeling package or even with zbrush.  You can start with extracting pieces from your body in zbrush to get shapes for ur armor pieces.

What's your base 3D package?

ChrisTheArtist

I did the base mesh in zbrush but of 3D modeling I use maya student version

I'd look into Maya Boolean modeling scripts.  Would be a good time to learn it now on top of using Zbrush as a way to sketch the forms, and retopologizing them in Maya.

Ok I’ve used Boolean operators before but haven’t mastered them yet so this will be a good opportunity

You're going to want to read this to to undertand how the Booleans will work in conjuction with Zbrush
