First of all a massive thank you to all of you for your comments!
For all those that like the dirty weathered look of the army the inspiration was from this fantastic piece by kingmong.

Sure thing Tom.
To get to where the army is at the moment I did the following;
Undercoat with a Chaos Black spray.
Apply two watered down coats of Iyanden Darksun
Mix up a Black and Scorched Brown wash. Apply the wash to small areas and then with a clean brush take away some of the wash to create the streaked effect.
However this is just the first part. The plan is to bring the army upto this standard, paint all the details and then really set about tackling the yellow.
They don't differ much, unlike some of the other legions who have a wildly different colour scheme.
If you look closely at tactical squads you will notice alot of the old armour Mk's. You will also find a few Templar cross's and there are no Imperial Eagles until I come to the jetbikes.
The vehicles arn't really Pre Heresy at the moment but I am working on changing that shortly.
What you see here is just the first 1000 points later I will be adding,
Fellsword.
landspeeders.
Jet Bikes.
Sabre Tank Hunter.
Storm Tank.
Terminators.
Primarch Honour Guard.
So expect it to look alot more "Pre heresy" by the end.
Here is the closeups of my converted Sicarius model for your viewing pleasure.
He is the Legion Champion, the first member of my Primarch Honour Guard Squad. I just have to make the others look as nice as him!
Thanks again.
