Well, nowadays Iron Warriors are pretty much the same as the other Undivided Marines. The only difference in the old dex was that they had access to the Vindicator (which all of Chaos gets access to now anyway and the Basilisk.
So, there's no reason to not just use the current dex to represent them on the table, just use the stats for basic Chaos Marines.

Dex info:
IW have close ties with the Oblit cults, so much that some people think the first oblits were IW techmarines. (IWs could have 3 oblits instead of the 0-1 normal restirction) (fluff note: So much is their connection with the oblits, some IW's have actually developed similar weapons morphing abilities, even if not as good as oblits)
IWs are the most technically savvy marines out there. Their Primarch's special abilities were understanding and use of technology that baffled even the emperor himself. They are scavengers of other tech and typically scavanged good siege tanks (IW could take 1 basilisk and 1 vindicator. Bassi could have the indirect fire upgrade but otherwise both tanks could only have chaos upgrades) (Note: all chaos can have vindicaters)
The use of tanks is huge in IW doctrine. They tend to use more than any othr legion. (They had 4 heavy choices instead of 3)
By using more tanks, they lack skills in bikes, and they don't use raptors as much either. (only 1 fast attack was allowed)
Along the lines of being the best with tech, HQ units (lords and luei's) could take a special upgrade, the servo arm. It allowed the ability to repair tanks, just like techmarines. (this is, in my opinion, the single biggest downfall of the new dex for the IW).
IWs arn't so much "chaos undivided" as they are "chaos 'screw you daemon you can't have my soul'." IWs don't actually like daemons much, and never summon them in combat. So much is their distaist for it, they usually cut off any mutations and replace them with mechanical replacements. (IWs could not use daemons).
My IWs are modeled as a mix of the IW upgrade kit and Iron Hands mechanical limbs. I <3 them.
