Personally, I would think so.

Stormraven was too for a while...

This has got massive inquisitor symbols on it though.

So did the Stormraven (with the Grey Knights logo's)

Im pretty sure 1 Astral Knight would have been in the Deathwatch when they decided to be Bada** and go on a suicide mission by going ramming speed into the World Engine...

Like, Seriously, the Astral Knights are the Definition of AWESOME

Didn't they lose the entire chapter in that attack, though?

**ImAGeek**

I don't think it ever had them moulded on. It was released for the blood angels at the same time iirc.

That isn't new. The White Scars biker from Deathwatch Overkill had special Ammunition for his bike as well.

I dont think referring to the Overkill miniatures in reference to the rest of the game is entirely fair.

For all intents and purposes, these things -are- new, as they're not part of a niche box game or a killteam formation so horrible no one can or will ever use it.

Edit: In my opinion.

It does, but if you look at it, they appear to be on rhino doors on the front of it. So maybe swappable
