With the datasheets for IG-SHT comes also the option to "use vehicle upgrdes from codex IG".

So my question is:

- how many weapons can be bought from this option? 1+x stormbolters/heavy stubbers/hunter-killer-missiles?

Same as normal tanks: ONE Pintle Heavy Stubber OR Storm Bolter and ONE HK Missile.

where does it say so?

I do see a problem if this is true for the stormlord: need to buy both heavy stubbers from codex IG vehicle upgrades.

It says so in the Guard Codex. The limits are imposed there, and as you take said upgrade "from the Imperial Guard Codex", you follow the restrictions set upon such items as laid out by that Codex.

As for the Storm Lord, they got it wrong the first time(in Reload), are you honestly surprised they got it wrong again? I have a feeling someone wrote the rules without ever seeing the model or artwork, got told to include the hull heavy bolter and newer sponson options for the new "corrected" datasheet and everyone forgot about the Heavy Stubbers in the carriage compartment(again). The Pintle-mounted options aren't there to rep those Stubbers, it's a Commander operated weapon just like every other Pintle weapon on every other tank.

OK
I do not believe in a 4th change of the datasheet.

So i should pre-order the coming guard codex ASAP

We just let people buy as many heavy stubbers for any baneblade variant as they have modeled, at 5 points each. It's apoc, having a couple extra heavy stubbers certainly isn't going to do much. Especially compared to the firepower on the board.

"DreadLord Kalvan, Look!! In addition to the cursed twice firing, heavy15, Str 6, weapon, the crafty minions of the false Emperor have mounted...gasp...an extra heavy stubber! It is to be our DOOM!
