A rohir. I had more the horse tail in mind than the face guard but both features can be combined with only a little drilling. (Again no claim for originality.)

They are all very nice!
I had forgotten about the scale armor,
it looks excellent on your rider of Rohan.

That helm works for me.
What Pirate hair was used for your dwarf?
Does it fit with chain-mail??

Here is a version of a Rider of Rohan.
The new cavalry harness from 4868 set is amazing, the detail is beautiful.

I cut the tail and put it underneath the chainmail. So it does fit but it would not follow head movements. I am considering glueing. Maybe ...

That hair is from http://playmodb.org/setpics/4127.jpg. I have quite a lot because there's always a red  haired pyrate in tow of the really useful redcoat.

- Theoden? I really like him and the wooden shield. 
- I was looking for such a harness just this morning.

Errrm ... back on topic:

- There are serious rumors in KW that the 'new' 5580 DS-hussards will have new horses, legs and bodies.  My guess: https://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=678.msg14319#msg14319 
 
- The museum will probably be without small parts, just the steck.

No, Theoden has golden armor, much closer to Plate.
The shield I got from Arnaud.

The Hussars would be really great to have.

As for giving all factions of middle earth different helms,
I don't think that is strictly necessary.

Agreed. I meant that it would be better if possible not to use the same helmet very often. 

No, Theoden has golden armor, much closer to Plate.

I see. He seemed to me the only one of them to be clad in red. After all 'It lies in the images that are conjured up in children's minds.' to cite HOB. 

Actually the armour of the already mentioned 4810 rondorian would do the job here.

Most definitely.

Just one more thing you could do with the new dwarf figure...
