I'm totally against the Bastarnae. They changed their germanic lifestyle much too early to be called germanic for the EB-timeframe.
Concerning the Heruskoz (Cherusci) - as well as the Hattoz (Chatti) they were rather similar to the Sweboz (Suebi) to gain a faction slot for themselves.
If we want a slightly other germanic faction we should go with the Gutanoz (Gothi) or perhaps the Kimbroz (Cimbri).
