I actually have some Corvus Belli veterans and they look amazing... but if I’m making legionnaires is want them to have swords to differentiate from the Carthage’s spear

From memory, I built my numidian imitation legions from the Xyston Numidian trained infantry pack and gave them Roman shields, which you can purchase separately.

Don't know why I only thought the Numidians had light javelin guys.... PERFECT. Adding Roman shields and these guys will fit the bill (and with 8 in a pack, perfect for 2x4Bds). Thanks a bunch everyone! Incidentally, what WERE the imitation legionaries? I need to look up my D. Head book, but where did they come from?

With regard to point 3, in historical match ups I have always found them to be very successful. The assumption is often that the player with the Numidians has been lucky, scoring kills with the 5-1's and 6-1's. The truth is probably that when the opponents get their fair share of 5-1's and 6-1's the Numidian elements by and large only flee. They can come unstuck in open tournaments though, due to a preponderance of knight or bow in some armies which is not really the case in historical encounters.

Numidian 'Imitation legionaries' are Numidian troops equipped as and trained by the Romans.
Without knowing more details at this point, one presumes the Numidian king saw a need for heavy infantry and as he was an ally at the tome the Romans obliged by training some of his troops.
