I'm not talking about whether you're allowed to take Typhoons or Tornados, I can read a Codex
What I want to know is about variant sprues. In a Ravenwing Battleforce box, you get six bikes, an Attack Bike, a Land Speeder and three Ravenwing sprues. When I got mine, I was mildly surprised to discover that the Land Speeder was the old sprue, without the heavy flamer, assault cannon or missile launchers.
I also learned that the old sprue goes together horribly. So many gaps to fill in with Green Stuff! So my question to y'all is, is that just because the box had been sitting on my LGS' shelf since before Apocalypse came out? If I buy another from the online store, will it have a heavy flamer and be a joy to put together? Or do GW continue to produce the old sprue just for the purpose of putting into Ravenwing Battleforces?
Edit: How did I manage to stick this into Fantasy General Discussion instead of 40k General Discussion? I have literally no idea. Sorry about that, mods.
