Truth be told, this is a absolutely a human error not painting one.

Preface: I used to play 4th edition 40k a lot and took a break from the game until recently. I have recently assembled a death guard squad and wanted to give them a simple but fun paint job.
My plan was to prime white, layer a yellowish/green, some details, then wash over it with a green/brown and be done. I stopped at my local gaming store in a hurry and picked up nurgle's rot thinking it was
a paint (error1). I have since learned, painfully, this is not what this new technical line of paint is used for.

Currently: Everything was primed white, then I applied nurgle's rot to them. I noticed right away something was off but carried on (error2) foolishly justifying my actions in my mind.
Regardless, at this point I am planning to work on all the weapons but after that I am uncertain where to go. I am hoping someone can give me a spot of advice where they would go next in the painting process.

Are the models metal? If they are, and i think they prob are as they are the now fine cast marines that used to be metal. Then if I was you, I would strip them and start again. Granted, it is a pain but might be worth while.

From the pic it appears quite thick with paint so simply trying to make the best you can of them might leave you feeling you had just hit the 'reset' button.

Dunk them in simple green and they should be good to go after a day or so and a scrub with an old toothbrush.

Search the forum/web as I think I heard the formula had changed. Double check before buying and do a test mini to make sure you are not going to ruin an entire army

If you are looking for something to try that doesn't require stripping your models. I wonder if a green wash over everything would be a way to start than a brown wash in the recesses. Its just a suggestion I have no idea how it will look or whether it will work on the nurgle rot (very used it so I have no idea how paint adheres to it). Definitely try it on one guy first to see the results.
