So I will be building and painting a Tervigon in the coming days and I want to really go to town on the birthing sack. I figured this would be the place to ask about good techniques to make slime and goo to literally drip out of the opening and around the egg sacks on the Tervigons belly. It needs to dry solid, so that it can be painted. I'm not too bothered about it being translucent or anything, because I will likely paint it greenish in colour.
Has anyone had any experience with this kind of thing. I know GW make a nurgle snot kind of technical paint, is this any good?
I once used this stuff that was used to make water effects.
"Realistic water" or something it was called. I used it to make ice on a Cryo Tank. With some wax paper and some effort I got icicles and all sorts of stuff (all they needed was to be glued on after carefully pealing off the wax paper). Could probably be used for slime and stuff. It can be painted afterwards. I put a light amount of light blue and white on the ice.
I'm sure with some tinkering you could get slime/goo effects with the stuff.

I've not used it myself, but here's GW's video tutorial for Nurgle's Rot:

Thanks, both. I will have to search around and look into that realistic water stuff, might come in handy for a few things. That Nurgles Rot looks like a safe bet too!
Look into the Tamiya clear paints. They come in red green blue yellow and a few others. Put them on thick and they'll dry to a nasty goopy finish, and probably look better then anything you might paint over them.
I wish they had a few more colors of it 
After all, who said that all slime must be green slime!
