I need to paint a bunch of plague marines and nurgle vehichles, and I need to do with a minimum of fuss. I'm a fairly competent painter, so it doesn't need to be dead basic, unless it looks good. So, dakka, how have YOU painted plague marines with speed in mind?

I imagine , some type of dull green spray.
very light dry brush. pick out the metal parts with tin bits.

wash everything with diluted ogryn flesh ,
paint some bolt gun metals on the tin bit's armor edges.

I found a really awesome post on here that I adapted to my own ends:

1. Undercoat skull white.
2. Paint bolter / CCW blazing orange (trust me) and eye sockets sunburst yellow.
3. Wash recesses / armour joins only with badab black. Wash all of bolter and CCW.
4. Wash entire model except bolter and CCW with devlan mud.
5. Wash entire model except bolter and CCW with thraka green.
6. Apply boltgun metal to bolter and CCW to simulate chips and wear.

It is really quick to do, fairly simple and is of a reasonable gaming standard IMO. There are some pictures in my gallery of my own Death Guard using this method.

You can also use Rustoleum or Krylon Camo Green as a basecoat/primer. Very fast and the right base color.
