Looking for ideas here so my plaguebearer groups are easier to tell apart...any fluff nutters with ideas? Thanks.

Colour their ichor, innards etc different disgusting colours?

Purple, red, orange, white (like a replicant from Aliens!)

;-)

Symbols of nurgle on the base rims. Positioning and way up differs foreach squad.

Why don't you paint them in various degrees of decay? Start with a flesh colured squad, then a squad with a green tint, then a brown and green combo, and finally black. I'm assuming you're running a few squads, or else this idea is pretty redundant.

Base each squad with a similar (and obvious) element.

Like squad 1 has skulls, squad two has bones (the ghoul sprue has a ton of arm/leg bones on it), etc, etc.

I'm doing mine on like so:



Note the "2" decal on the base with the rhino door. Each squad will have a coresponding # to it. I figure it's easier that way. Of course, if you're doing yours on a jungle base or something similar, you'll have to figure something else out.

I'm lazy when it comes to my Chaos Space Marines and Daemons, since I like them to have a really coherent color scheme I just paint roman numerals on the base rims. Surely some of the other suggestions would be far superior.

I actually paint the squads different colors. Different shades of greens and browns to separate them out.

different eye colours. easy and fast
