All those types of armour already exist: you can create your own (very crude-looking but effective) Orcish weapons and armour, you can pick up Imperial Legion armour that varies by rank, and there are several Nordic variations of standard heavy armor throughout the game world - you just have to pay attention and look around. Also, there's an entire branch of the Smithing skill tree devoted to light armour, which includes Scaled (under the Advanced Armour perk). Just get out and explore, you'll find they've already included most of the variety we could wish for.
