Default Vyper Sprue Question

Does the old Vyper boxed set carry the exact same sprue as the current boxed set?

Hi Lucky Clover,

That's a tough one to gauge by looking at the package. The old, old Vyper set only included a single shuricannon as a turret weapon.

As you know, that has since changed, but there was a period of time (about the same time as the codex was released) that the Vyper kit included a full set of turret weapons, yet the packaging was the same. For example- those of us who bought the army boxed set when it first came out got vypers with the additional weapons in the kit, in the old packaging.

To be safe, I'd just assume that the old kit you have pictured only includes a shuricannon. There's no telling exactly how old that particular kit is.

I couldn't tell you what the old one contains, but I know that even the new one does not come with the proper parts for a dual shuricannon setup. The new one comes with 1 of each of the turret weapons (supposedly the same parts sprue as a wave serpent) plus one additional shuricannon. But the shuricannon will not fit on the underside of the vyper without some serious modifications.

In order to do it without modding it, you'd have to buy one of the shuricannon bits from a normal jetbike.
