Which Helmets can you use?
In LEGO Castle, which helmets do you use beyond the main group?
I have thought ones you might could use are
The Aviator Cap http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30171
and maybe the top hat
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3878
Is there anything else you can use?

I usually stick pretty close to the official castle helmets, but I have used the bandana, tri-corner and conqistador hats for a few of my characters, The orient line in general also has some usable merchant headgear: the turban, the furry hat and the new coolie hat are stand outs from that line. I have also made an occasional custom helm to make a charater stand out. My sig fig has a custom helm and a custom hairpiece.
My Bull Commander also has a slightly modified helmet, I think Anthony was the first to come up with its design though.
I usually only use the Tricorns for merchants and merchant guards, they do look a little 18th century, but my world is based more on Fantasy than history so they work fine for me, I do wish we had more variety though.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Well - Vader's helm seen here http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x163 works great in any setting!
Other than the 'normal' headgear from the castle line, I use:
Minifig Hat Rag http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x70
Minifig Hat Wide Brim Flat http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30167
Minifig Police Hat (in brown) http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3624
Minifig Hat Turban http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x109
And to a lesser extent:
Minifig Cap Aviator (in brown) http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30171
Minifig Hat Cowboy (in brown) http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3629
Minifig Helmet Horned http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x175
Minifig Hat Tricorner http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2544

Minifig Hat Tricorner http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2544
In the process of converting to [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/nathanwells/]Flickr[/url].
These are both GREAT hats for use:
Minifig Helmet Horned http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x175
The Helmet Horned is great for tribal shamans. (I have four "clans", the Deer, Wolf, Snake and Bull clans. They each have green wizards and shamans.)
Minifig Hat Tricorner http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2544
The Tricorner hat is great for peasants.
More great hats:
Minifig Mummy Headdress http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x177
This could be used for a queen, emporess, etc.
Minifig Helmet Imperial Guard http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x132
Yeah, they're expensive, and I havn't bought any either. But they make for a cool ninja, assasin, thief, etc.
Minifig Hood http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x115
A hood is great for so many things!
Minifig Helment Conquistador http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x44
This helmet is good for variety. I use it for shop guards, temple guards, etc.
Minifig Headdress Jungle http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x262
I have one of these. I haven't used it yet, but I figure it will make a good wizard/shaman/sorcerer hat. Maybe.
Minifig Hat Mongolian http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x261
I kind of like these for mountain adventurers, or even dungeon crawlers. I just ordered myself a couple of these!
Minifig Hair - All http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg= ... P&invType=
You can't go wrong with any unique hairpiece from any theme...

I use the Rock Raider helmets for my Chinese cavalry. Dunno what good that'll do for knights though. The brim hats are for Greek Peltasts, the rag hats are for Indian troops, and the aviator helmets are for my Egyptians.
I also use those Pirates theme Soldier hats for Phonicians. Mongolian hats for.. well duh, Mongols! and SW hoods for my Khazak armies.

One of the most usefull ones is of course the SW hood. They should have made it for castle a very long time ago. Waiting for a tan one. Beside that I alsouse the King Kahuka's red hat in reverse mainly for Queens and Jesters.
Also most of the hairs fits well. And I guess thats it....
