Im pretty bad at painting but i can do basic stuff, does anyone know an easy way to do plague marines?

paint the models in differant shades of greens and yellows, and wash with brown colors. I've never painted any myself, but that's something I can think of to get you started

Prime black. Dry brush white. Dry brush camo green. Dry brush rotting flesh. Dry brush lightly with bleached bone. They look pretty good for table top quality this way, and you could then even give them a dark tone quickshade dip to make them look dirtier. Don't forget to add some gloss to the guts!

GW site has a decent tutorial.

Here's my method:
undercoat with grey car primer (for uk users - from Halford's)
base coat of rotting flesh
dipped in quick drying wood stain - light oak - from wilkinsons
coat of thraka grenn ink
coat of develan mud ink
brazen brass washed with a mix of the old green & brown inks. this was left to dry then a wash of vile green and finally a dry brush of brass to blend down the vile green.
bleached bone washed with a mix of the old brown & yellow inks
rusty metal (not finished on the marines) - dark flesh base coat, then vermin fur & blazing orange then a dry brush of bolt gun metal then flecks of bolt gun metal painted on.
the models then had areas stained with baal red and the old red ink.

& an example:
