Problem with heavy skirsmisher / throwing weapons

[FreeRealEstate]

I encountered a bug where my equipped throwing weapons (bought from the marketplace, so I should be able to use them) are goofing out in-game. So when I spawn, I get champion huscarl shields instead of throwing spears. I get Nord Warlord Helmet instead of Javelins. After the patch I respecced to heavy skirmisher - no other trees chosen as of now. These helmets are not very effective against nords, in fact they cause me to crash on spawn.
