Bored, I would go with option "B". My assumption is the 2nd army will use the same weapons / armors / jewelry / extras as the regular army. There is no point in introducing new stuff, at least for now. I am sure more info will be posted the closer we get to the release date.
The good news is we'll have about one extra month to gather the resources for the 2nd army before the update comes to FR and EN servers.
Cheers,
