Miniatures versus Event Cards

[Gormonghast]

I’m curious as to what miniatures were considered for War of the Ring, but were left out of the finished game.
I’ve seen sketches of Isengard Dunlendings, but were figures considered for the Easterlings (wainriders?), Army of the Dead, Ents, Eagles, or miniatures for other characters now covered by event cards? Or, for me, the most sorely missed figures which are mounted minis (in white) of Gandalf and Aragorn.

[Veldrin]

I believe there were sketches of Hobbit militia as Regulars for "the North" nation.
