... From what I understood in the readings about him, he was a pretty rough and tough type of guy.

That might be an understatement, at least according to his enemies ...

Still, he was a mighty king, and a fair one, and such one that the people of Rohan needed in those desperate times.

On the symbolism ... it goes further than the hammer and his name:

• 2758-9: Rohan at war, Helms Deep under siege, Helm Hammerhand the last of the first line of kings in Rohan, the title passing on to his sister's son Fréaláf
• 3018-9: Rohan at war, Helms Deep under siege, Théoden the last of the second line of kings in Rohan, the title passing on to his sister's son Éomer.

... and btw, whatever weapons he is carrying, IMO the horn is still the most powerful of them.

you are right about him being a very strong guy, i think he killed a wildmen leader with one punch :O i hope you know that he was allive a long time ago before the war of the rings, before saruman even got isengard and saruman had isengard for a while

The Dunlendings where superstitious folk, apparently, and were scared of Helm's spirit in the Deep. When the horn blew, they thought his ghost was returning (this was not implemented in the films, from what I know). That's where the idea comes from, I think. Though, it would be cool to have a Army of the Dead-like Helm.

Yeah, that's about it. Plus, he a cool and unique character that no other mod has.

True... There's an idea, though. A Dunland vs. Rohan mod, including him and Wulf... That would be fun.

Actually... the edain mod has him for their rohan faction , and he is a power just like yours , he is just like a gloin with the same abilities except that he also has a horn,its really cool, he is summoned along with a exclusive "summon unit" type that are is guards that have a hammer like him
