Given as how that 'battle report' was Warhammer Fantasy Battles only in name, I'm pretty sure you can ignore anything said within it. It wouldn't be the first time GW have simply mislabelled a unit in a WD.
@Vaz - quite the opposite - falcoso and I have both been present when the local store has thrown out their old stock, which usually includes 90% of the WDs they stock at the start of the month (or week or whenever they buy the new ones in). Rather than see them go up in flames, we've managed to persuade the manager to donate them to a 'worthy cause' (read: us).
