Hello there!
I have some Plague Marines ready for painting, but I need help. I wanted to paint them as Death Guard, but I don't want a too-wet feeling. These are my paints: Camo Green, Goblin Green (or Snotling Green?), Skull White, Chaos Black (also in spray), Flaming Orange (or Blazing Orange?), Tin Bitz, Boltgun Metal, Sun Yellow, Dwarf Bronze, Ultramarine Blue, Blood Red, darker red.
Here you are some pictures which inspired me. My favourite is the first one, wich is very dirty but not so wet. Excepting on the GW picture, the other ones are from DeviantArt.
Thank you very much! ^^

ok. base with goblin green, then blend or dry brush camo green into another layer, leaving goblin green in recess. add base the metals boltgun and the trim and stuff dwarf bronze. base the tabards and white stuff white (may take a few layers) and the head/skin. do blood oozing and go crazy with the colors on that. wash the whole thing with Devlin mud *may have to get this* and glaze the skin with a really watery mix of ultra blue and camo green make shore its extremely watery! dry brush tin bits on the trim then highlight trim with a mix of
yellow and bronze. dry brush lightly on any areas you want to rust *i kind of splodge it with a dry brush* with the orange and then do it again ontop of what you did with a orange yellow mix.

do eyes, base and such and that's what i can give you

The way I did mine was do a base coat of Catachan green, then dry brush a coat of rotting flesh, then dry brush another coat of Catachan. It makes the armor have a really dull green that looks rather weathered, but still has the Death Guard flare to it. Rotting flesh with an undercoat of red gore makes it have a neat "plague-y" look to them.

Just thought I'd throw my tactic in there.
