Hey everyone, how's it going, I was just on Forgeworld and was looking at some Salamander pyroclasts and thought that they looked cool, so I went and looked up their rules. All the rules I found were for Horus Heresy, they have those special weapons so how do you transfer(or whatever) the rules into 40k.
Cheers
Have a good one

As far as I know, you don't. Pyroclasts are specifically a 30k model, and unlike some of the tanks do not have a 40k ruleset. Sorry friend.

You probably can't. At least not all that well. As a unit there really isn't that many other things in the SM codex that they're rough equivalent to. I suppose you could say they're combi-flamer Sternguard, but that would be reaching a bit. I would suggest splitting them up and sprinkling them throughout your squads as a cool looking flamer stand in

In a fun friendly fluffy game I'd let you use them as long as I was allowed to do something similar to balance things out if necessary.
Probably something to discuss with your regular opponents.
