As with most Forge World models, the Hell Talon is an optional/experimental unit- it CAN be used in "normal" games of 40k as long as you have your opponent's permission.
As for it's actual USE on the batlefield, it's not bad. I added one to my Thousand Sons, and the bombs are quite useful for taking out groups of lighter-armored infantry like IG, Orks, and even Fire Warriors. I decided to go for the Lascannon mount on it for harrasing enemy armor. It does suffer versus the "fighters" of other races, but that's what the Hellblade is for- Talon protection. also, for a FW piece, it was remarkably easy to assemble (save the canopy... always fun glueing perspex to resin...).
