Can I Play Shell Games With Rhinos

Rules & Tactics

I'm getting back into 40k and decided to jump into Night Lords. (Originally, I felt like I mainly collected, but that problem was probably due to me wanting to play Fantasy when the local group was more 40K).

As I am assembling the Combat Patrol box, I pictured what would happen if the Rhino was captured, sorry, liberated from the White Scars or Imperial Fists with some appropriate graffiti. Which lead me to wonder if I bring three such Rhinos, could I play the whole shell game with two Rhinos bringing troops and one empty. The hope is to distract the other player to focusing on the decoy transport. The reason to pick Imperial Fists or White Scar colors is that would make the Rhinos pop in the battle field and draw the eye from my other units. I was thinking that the best way to deal with this is to have some blue masking tape underneath the Rhino to say which unit is traveling in which Rhino.

My questions are: Does this idea make sense in the current game? Do the rules prohibit this sleight of hand?
