Flakk missile profiles are given in the new rulebook. Can any units actually take these yet due to newer content in digital codices or any other materials?

No units can currently take them as no codices or FAQ say you can. We must wait for GW to release more codices. At the moment, This is GW's way of giving use rules for something that they're planning to release in the future.

Yeah witch will rpobably be the two in the starter kit.

Does the storm talon not have the option of taking flakk missiles?

Nothing in the game currently has the option to take flakk missiles.

Its a flyer. Flyers have the option to shoot at aircraft or ground units at full bs but not both since you decide to use skyfire when you are acting as a flyer each shooting phase. Flakk missles would therefore be pointless.

My bad it's a skyhammer missile system that the stormtalon can use.
@Rogue I have read the rules. If you are an interceptor then it might be useful. FYI

Maybe I'm missing something isn't it a flyer? Doesn't it have weapons that it can take that can damage other flyers? Aka s6 like assault cannons? Or even lascannons?

P81 states that a flyer is able to choose to use skyfire. At each shooting phase. These weapons allow me to hurt flyers just like flakk missiles. Why do I need flakk missiles? Aren't they redundent when your normal weapons can skyfire?

If you can fire at multiple targets would it not be useful then?

Stormravens POTMS can let them fire at another target at full BS, since I don't think this over-rides the skyfire rule to let you shoot normally at ground and 1 weapon at flyers, (assuming flakk missiles will be made available for all missile launchers) will the CML be permitted to blast at a flyer while the raven shoots the rest of its guns elsewhere.

I would imagine that flakk missiles will be in the new marine codex ( whenever that may come about ).The BRB wording has them available as an upgrade,so look to spend 5-10 points (maybe ) to give your tac / dev / termies and dreads the ammo to skyfire at full BS.

But this is just my humble opinion,so may not mean a hell of a lot in the long run.

Yep, the ability to buy a heavy 1 autocannon with skyfire sure does sound nice.
