Costume Help, I need ideas for my Morrowind costume Options

[Rohirrim]

I'm going to New York Comic Con this year, and I'm making a Morrowind-inspired costume, loosely based on the chitin armor from Dragonborn. So far I've got a couple of crab shells, and I'm making a helmet out of a horseshoe crab. I also plan to make some goggles and the armor itself, but what do you guys think?

I thought I should give you guys a better idea of my vision of the armor itself:

-The horseshoe crab will look something like a kettlehat, with a Redoran insignia stenciled on, and have the horseshoe crab thorax as a kind of neck protector, might include some goggles to hide my outlander-ness.

-The cuirass will have a red silk or silk-looking base, with some brown linen and leather over that.

-The greaves will be linen, with chitin-styled knees and shin guards, same on the arms.

-The shoes will be either sandals and socks, boots, or leather boot-looking shoe covers.

-I'm considering a polearm, maybe a billhook, as my weapon, to fit the whole peasant-soldier motif.

-Any accessories you guys can think of? Again, anything is much appreciated.

I'm also afraid the crab shells are too brittle to use, I'll have to find a substitute, but the horseshoe crab is A-OK.
