That´s because the Phalanx formation overwrites the primary weapon, regardless what it is (you can also, say, give Roman legionaires Phalanx capability, and they would carry spears then, but tey most likely wouldn´t use their gladius in close combat anymore, because in their model it´s the primary weapon). The fact that all the units using Phalanx have a spear model is the only reason why SigniferOne´s new animation work, if they had no primary weapon model, they´d fight empty-handed.
Just to clear that up.
