This list is inspired by the Corvus Belli troops. Probably a spanish army next.

I only had time for one practice game with them prior to the comp, but have used plenty of LH based armies before.

I faced a MIR for a 10-0

Seleucid for a 6-4

Parthian for a 10-0

and EAP for a 5-5

Both the uncompleted games were bloody affairs which would have produced conclusive results one way or the other in a couple of bounds.

I found the Numidians a fun army to use, with a nice diversity of troops. Bd(I) did well except when machine gunned down by Bw(X). For some reason the Cv(O) spent the whole weekend losing to Ax and LH.
