So, I have it in my head to paint my Nurgle stuff from Dark Imperium in flesh colours with green and brown fluids leaking out of cracks and joints (similar to The Cleaved http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Cleaved,_The) but I don't know what to do to make it look like bad fluids leaking out from putrid mush inside fleshy, almost living armour. Bumps will look like big pimples, and other nurgle elements have yet to be determined. Not really sure what to do with horns and guts. I'm not fond of the standard green nurgle stuff, it's just not my thing, so fleshy is my compromise.

I don't really want to go through the pains of stripping my guys over and over until I get it right, so I could really use some good advice. How can I make a cool looking flesh marine? And then get some goop and bad liquids on him?

Check out the Tamiya clear range.

I've used the clear yellow as puss for nurgle models before, you can easily mix it with other colours from the range to get something you are happy with, to thin it down you need to use tamiya thinners, its not expensive and a small pot goes a fair way.

I'm quite fond of GW's 'ardcoat brush-on gloss varnish, tinted with a tiny bit of paint for whatever colour you're looking for

just keep in mind, the more paint you add, it will become increasingly less transparent, and it will go from a shiny gloss down to more of a satin finish
