No, unless the Chaos Space Marines have any still remaining from the Heresy.

Only Sammael of the Ravenwing has the "last" remaining Imperial jetbike. Although I have to say I dislike blanket statements like that.

Assuming all codeces are written from an Impreial perspective, the blanket statement is simply propaganda. They're probably heretical devices that contain STC made components no longer allowed!

What a vile heretical statement.

Everything covered by STCs is pure and sacred, created by our honored ancestors.

Report to the purging furnace with haste.

According to the current Codex Dark Angels Sammael rides the only remaining fully operational Jetbike.


But this is only an official statemant :)

I have a completely different take on the fluff. For me the oldest stuff is the "most" official. So what you read in Rouge trader rulebook or Adeptus Titanicus overrules whatever is in any codex from the degenerate 2000-s ;-)

That's kinda like I feel. If the newest fluff really blatantly and openly states that something is that way and not like it was in Rogue Trader then it's true but otherwise Rogue Trader fluff stands.

Except for Machine God being a C'tan and Cult Mechanicus being his unwitting pawns. Eff that noise.

The additional fluff was that grav-bikes are really high-maintenance, and no-one really knows how to fix them anymore (different gravplates than a land speeder, and the simple solution of putting speeder gravplates on wouldn't occur to the Imperials).  Sammael has a the last known functional one in the Imperium (probably been cannibalizing others for parts for the last 3000 years), but the Master of the 2nd companies of the other Unforgiven may also have a jetbike running around.

Since I started with SM1/AT1, I kinda stick with the "old ways" on many subjects ... :)  However, to go OT, on the C'tan topic ... that whole storyline is so "murky" it's almost impossible to really make a lot of sense of it ... :disagree:  At one point in an old White Dwarf they hinted at an Eldar-Necron connection ?!   So who knows ?!  :alien:
