I am really in need for advice on which GW paints I should buy for my Primaris paint scheme. I was just going to go basic Black Templar because I think they look amazing but I want flexibility on what CT I can use without the dumb "but those are templar" comments. Also I really do not think I have seen another army with this paint scheme so that is a bonus on why I want to do it

If you know the paints from the GW App. This is what I was thinking so far.

Armor Trim - Dirty Grey
Armor - Gryph-charger Flesh
Eyes / Runes - Ice White
Cloth - Black

I would go leadbelcher -> highlight Runefang Steel for weapons edges,
Blue fires - temple guard blue -> highlight baharroth edge

It's a great idea (I might steal it), but I think you've not quite got the colours right. For the trim, it's more of a dirty metallic colour than a dirty grey. So perhaps Leadbelcher with a thin highlight of Stormhost Silver, then a pretty heavy wash of Agrax Earthshade, perhaps even two coats of this to dull it down and make it look old. For the armour, That's more of a purpley blue, and you've picked a greenish blue. I'm not sure what to do in terms of using a particular paint for each layer, as I don't really paint like that - I mix and blend paints, sorry. I'd use Vallejo's German Grey with a touch of purple and some blue and highlight up from there, I think. I'd have to do some mixing tests first. The Ice White could work, as long as Baharroth Blue is strong enough. I'd probably use Lothern Blue (or maybe Temple Guard Blue) highlighted with a spot of pure white.

As I say, bloody great idea. I'd love to see how it comes out!

I've been thinking about this, and I reckon the way I would paint that armour is using a grisaille technique. There's a fantastic tutorial on the technique here -

https://massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/2017/01/tutorial-deathwatch-space-marine.html

You basically prime black, then drybrush white over the model, making sure to concentrate this on the areas where the light would hit, so the tops of the shoulders, the upper chest, upturned bits of armour, etc. You can then paint really thinned paint over the top (careful it doesn't pool or run everywhere) and you end up with really weathered, pre-highlighted power armour. You don't have to go as high-end as Roman does in that tutorial - he's a genius - you can literally paint a layer over the top and get a cool tabletop standard. I tried it a month or so ago and got a good-looking miniature painted up in about 30 minutes from start to finish.
