9. The Dwarves of Durin's Folk: These had unique weapons and armor. "In battle they wielded heavy two-handed mattocks; but each of them had also a short broad sword at his side and a round shield slung at his back. Their beards were forked and plaited and thrust into their belts. Their caps were of iron and they were shod with iron, and their faces were grim." Obviously, the weaopns and armor of the Iron Hills dwarves should be changed to match this. The Trimmed armor should instead we changed to Gilded armor-chainmail gilded in the repective metal.

10. Ered Luin: The Dwarves of Ered Lun should wear similar (but blue) armor, but also terrifying, gilded facemasks. All Dwarves should have moderate fire resistance, and maybe wearing a full set of Belegost Armor (gilded Blue Mountains gear with mask) could give moderate resistance.



 I do however feel thay would have worn plate armor on their chest and have chainmail kilts. Dwarves as they are know in Lotr and other fantasy worlds always have worn heavy armor, and no diffrent in Lotr, most dwarves we see are traveling so they would where lighter armor (chain mail) more likely dwarves would wear plate armor or ring mail



Obviously it would not be bronze but I'm sure you get the idea, this as another fact is norse in deseign (dwarves use many nordic things)



This is what I imagine warriors wearing as they march into battle
