Just received two packets of the Royal Guard from GW, and was pleasantly surprised that it gave an option for sword or spear - with three sword arms and three spear arms in each packet. Have they always been packaged like that?

I remember the pack I picked up back when they were released in 2002-2003 it was that way.

What would you recommend assembling them as? I've got mine with t. spears, but wouldn't they be a bit better with sword instead with the current shooting penalty?

I too bought some recently and they had both spears and swords. So do the mounted ones!

Odd that the pics on GW's site don't show that they come with both.
