Gah! You got me all excited when I got that quote as an email update. My academic background is medieval Scandinavia (all the Nordic countries, technically) and I do Viking period historical reconstruction, living history reenactment, and live-steel combat. So I saw this and thought, "Did I miss something? Splinted greaves on boots and and splinted bracers on gauntlets? Lamellar armour and pauldrons? A good-looking spangenhelm?" You got my hopes up. Ah well, Rohan will Soon™ be upon us.
All kidding aside, it does look nice.
