I'm going to suggest two things to you heathens:

1) Let this army spark you off and make you collect/play Iron Warriors again. Because this is the army that turned me to Chaos Space Marines and I don't really care about the current fluff, to be honest. I still cherish that magnificent Index Astartes article about the Iron Warriors and go by that. Fug the new stuff. It's cool, but it doesn't fit my vision of Chaos or Iron Warriors well. So I say fug it.

2) You're an Army sort of man? Go Imperial Guard! Or even Traitor Guard! Or Renegade Guard! So many possibilities! Forge World has magnificent tanks (have you seen those new super-heavies? Have you seen that Praetor? Have you seen that damn Macharius tank? Don't tell me you don't want one of those) and epic conversion kits, but loads of other small companies have some really good-quality kits and bits that are a damn nice. I have so much stuff I can pass on to you to get that spark of creativity back if you want to do Guard. Just drop me PM over on the B&C and I'll get some stuff sorted :)
Luddy's post made me think of something. Do you have any of the Armageddon pattern Bassies and Medusas? That could be the start of a IW associated Traitor Guard faction for your current army.

Just throwing out an example:

Primaris Psyker HQ

Ogryn Squad

Veteran Squad

Hellhound Sqaudron (say one Devil Dog and 2 Hellhounds)

Ordanance Battery ( Say two Armrgeddon Pattern Bassies and one Armageddon Pattern Medusa)

Maybe that could jump start your creative juices?

"From the fires of betrayal, Unto the blood of revenge, We bring the word of Lorgar, The Bearer of the Word, The favored son of Chaos; All praise be given unto him, For those that would not heed, We offer praise to those that do, That they might turn their gaze our way, And gift us with the boon of pain, To turn the galaxy red with blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods." - Excerpt of the 341st book of the Epistles of Lorgar.

Allies really give wonderfull new choices to update your army. And a nice not-so-imperial guard is always fun to see on the table.

The soultion has been found, mis amigos malos! I got my hands on a copy of Betrayal, and...... oh my freakin' God! THIS is how the Iron Warriors Legion is supposed to look! Troops with boarding shields, squads of flamethrowers, dark age of technology weapons, mechanicum detachments, siege tanks, basalisks, medusans... the list goes on and on!

The Iron Warriors march for Luprecal!

So am I. Granted, it wasn't with the new Codex, but hey....

Always more than one way to skin the Emperor.

I want the one with Night Lords. But I warn you, if they do nothing but make the Night Lords another Raptor Legion, Britain is going to burn.

I have to say I'm intrigued by the ones that will have Alpha Legion and the Word Bearers, especially AL.

Depending on how the list looks, I may not have to shelve my AL after all.

Funny enough, the generic Legion template is so diverse, you could easily create any of the Legions. For example, there are recon squads; power armoured brothers who can rock chamoline cloaks and sniper rifles, or can even ditch the PA for Carapace armour and get move through cover and infiltrate in the trade-off. Alpha Legion operators, anyone?

Seriously, this book is great. I'd go so far as to say revolutionary. I'd suggest to anyone to pick it up.

Alpha Legion operators? Pfft, I see Night Lords kill-squads. Too bad it's only designed to fight other 30k Legions.
