Hey dakka I have a question: how do you paint the Raptors Leigion like this

I would undercoat light gray then lightly wash green.

I would then paint on the detailing, trim, etc.

Then use a sponge to weather the armour with reds/browns/oranges to simulate rust.

Might also then give it a dark yellow/brown wash to tie it all together.

Cool thanks, I just want the armour though the rust isn't all that important.

Just do a couple of test marines, or even practice on some sprue or unwanted wargear.

Nothing worse than getting part way through painting everything only to find out you don't like how it looks

I would try attempting this, just swap the Baal red with Thraka green.

I painted mine as follows:

Drybrush Cayman Green
Drybrush Camo Green
Wash with a bit of green and black ink mixed with Future and hit the details.
