I've been working on my Horus Heresy list for a while now, most of my purchases are based on what I felt looked good at the time or wanted to model up so it may not be the most competitive list in the world but here is what I have so far (Storm eagle and vindicator to be bought this month):

Legion Praetor (180) - Pride of the Legion (HQ)
Cataphracti Terminator Armour
Combi Bolter
Paragon Blade
Digital Lasers
Iron Halo

Legion Consul – Siege Breaker (130) (HQ)
Power Maul
Combi Plasma
Refractor Field

Legion Dreadnought Talon (310) (ELITE)
2 x Dreadnoughts
1) Twinlinked Lascannon, CCW w/ Meltagun
2) Plasma Cannon, CCW w/ Heavy Flamer

Veteran Tactical Squad (260) (TROOP)
Additional 5 men
2 x Missile Launcher w/ Suspensor Webs
V Sergeant w/ Power weapon

Legion Terminator Squad (390) (TROOP)
+5 men
Cataphracti Terminator Armour
3 x Combi Bolter + Fists
2 x Combi Bolter + Hammers
2 x Combi Bolter + Power Sword
1 x Auto Cannon + Sword
1 x Combi Bolter + Chain fist
Veteran Sergeant w/ 2 x Lightning Claws

Legion Terminator Squad (387) (TROOP)
+5 men
Cataphracti Terminator Armour
5 x Combi Bolter + Fists
2 x Combi Bolter + Power Sword
1 x Plasma Blaster + Sword
1 x Lightening Claws (pair)
Veteran Sergeant w/ Power Weapon and Combi Melta

Storm Eagle (215) (FAST ATTACK)
Hull mounted missile launcher

Vindicator (120) (HEAVY SUPPORT)

What special ability does the Siege Breaker give you?

The ability to take Terminators as Troops in a Blood Angels army list?

You don't need the Iron Halo; Cataphractii Armor confers a 4++ invuln.

What's the pan with the Veteran Squad, why 2x Missile on foot?

The dreads seem incohesive; they're not really filling gaps in your list, and they have sortof contradictory armaments.

Who is the Siege Breaker going with, and why the Power Maul?

The Vindicator seems out of place alone; I'd drop the dreads and give it two friends.

Pride of the Legion allows a Horus Heresy list to take legion veterans and terminator squads as troops choices.

Siege breaker confers wrecker and tank hunter on himself and the unit he is with, acts as a spotter for artilley and lets medusas take phosphex shells

Siege breakers is currently running with the Veterans to boost their missile launchers, I'm not married to the concept of a power weapon but liked the appearance of the maul, can drop that though

2 x Missile on foot was because I like the utility of missile launcher and didnt want to fit a single rhino into the list.

Dropping the halo.

Dread were to fit in with a vetrerans vibe, and weaponry was some of the only long range I had in the list (and anti tank/elite respectively).

I'm not a massive fan of a tonne of vindicators, though to make best use of the siege breaker what about dropping both dreads for 2 Medusas with phosphex shells, and picking up phosphex grenades on the siege breaker with the halo points?

Oddly I was expecting the Storm eagle to be the thing most people picked out as an issue.
