The Sabaean Bodyguards will feature longswords. But as the spear seems to have been the most common weapon we chose it for both Khamis, of which dipictions mainly feature the spear and bow, and for the nobles unit(...)

Thank you for your extensive reply Moros! Its allways great to learn more! As expected Saba will be very interesting to play indeed (but I bet that can be said of all factions, at least on later releases). I'm quite happy to know that the Saba are going to have a different Bodyguard unit cause I though the Nobles were going to fill that role, but It allways great to know that they are going to have one more different elite (and certainly impressive looking) unit.

That's a bit strange. I expected some turbans. Is that just a fluke or has the unit's armour been upgraded? (Or maybe it's a reformed unit?)

And the unit cards seem reflected over the y axis.

I think you may be confusing them (the khamis, professional soldiers) with the nobles who were in the Arabia preview and are also archer-spearmen but with scale mail and some have red turbans. Awesome unit!
And I gess that one of the unit cards is a placeolder.
