The nomads are tough to start but offer some unique feelings in fights and having to conquer all that land. And to integrate the locals in your armies.
Check this for my posts of a Sauromatae campaign:

And check out the unofficial mod sections for some money scripts and the mercenary recruitment script by mlp071 and maybe the victory conditions by JMRC (if you play with BI).
These things really help against the stack-spawning of AS and/or Baktria and/or Ptolemies, the game is still tough don't worry (especially on VH).
The Getai are very cool and I'm fond of them (biased) but I'm waiting on 1.0 to play an epic campaign with them.
I played a campaign with the Casse, very cool units especially after the first reform but it was quick I was victorious in 212.
