I wasn't saying necessarily that this design wasn't functional or doesn't look functional, even though it looks like I sort of worded it like that. I was just noting certain aspects of the LOTR armor designs and that the functional look was one aspect.

It looks like a back bone from a large animal?

An Oliphaunt vertebra would be about the size of Bolg himself

It seems Azog and Bolg are part of a new Orc breed?

Loving his design overall, but still mega-annoyed that he's at Dol Guldur and therefore intimately linked with the Necromancer.. *sigh*//
