I'm not absolutely sure about the Marauder, but the Thunderbolt is
definitely capable of spaceflight. The working version of the new Space
Fleet game includes Thunderbolts in space. Also, in the EPIC 2nd Ed.
Tyranid book, there's a description of a huge squadron of Ultramarine
Thunderbolts (yes, yes; it disproves my earlier posting; look, I forgot,
alright?) attacking a Tyranid ship in space.
