But seeing as plate is never mentioned within the lore, it is uncanon. Meanwhile, chain mail is continuously mentioned, and even called the best armor in the world. So it stands to reason no one would have plate, if dwarf-mail is the best. And if aesthetics is what you're worrying about, don't. I made some textures and it looks great, some even better.

PS: I am also against crossbows, because it is stated the Uruk-hai used huge longbows and the Dwarves bows of horn.
