While the later-style crossbows we currently have are kinda out of place, an earlier one could work. Of course I'm talking about the Roman ''Manuballista! ''If people are intent of giving Isengard Crossbows, then this could be the fit. Also, it would work really well for a maritime archer unit for Pelargir- because we really, really need one of those.

First let me state I think that Plate and Mail armour can definitely exist side-by-side. But chainmail does not look "dull or boring"! Oftentimes, especially when paired with tabbards, gambesons, and other embroideries, sets of chainmail are absolutely ''stunning. ''

See?



And also, without plate armour, it's not like chainmail would be the only choice. Gambesons (Which, actually, were  very  effective), scale, and boiled leather could also be used!
