Not sure if this is the right place, but here it goes anyway:

I'm planning on starting a Guard army, and the one thing I definitely knew I wanted was Kasrkin. However, after having a flick through the Guard codex, I noticed Kasrkin are completely absent from it. I asked my GW guy about that, and he said that they just go under Stormtrooper rules. However, what would need to be changed to accomodate for the fact Kasrkin use Hellguns and Hellpistols rather than hot-hot weapons?

Kasrkin don't exist in current rules. The closest would be "count-as" stormtroopers or veterans.

Yes, unfortunately there are no Kasrkin rules currently, and no variant list i can think of that adequately represents them.

I thought Kaskrin *were* stormtroopers?

Kasrkin are just Cadian Stormtroopers.

Also hell-pistols and hell-guns no longer exist in the game. They have been replace by hot-shot las weapons.

There is a hellrifle in the GK codex, but only Ordo Malleus Inquisitors may take them.
