The Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, Night Lords, Word Bearers, Red Corsairs and Crimson Slaughter all have their own PM, we just haven't seen any in the fluff yet. The Black Legion specifically has an army of them in the form of the Bringers of Decay. There's also the Plaguebones and the Death Bringers warbands. The Death Bringers specifically are so rotted that they need lots of corrupted technological augmentation to keep themselves alive. The large Nurgle warband known as the Purge probably has some, but due to their emphasis on Nurgle's destroyer aspect rather than the cycle of life theology, there are probably not too many of them.
The warband of the Cleaved is also aligned to Nurgle making them very resilient. However, they don't carry the Destroyer Virus which created the DG Plague Marines, instead some strange oil is dripping out of their Armour.

I would like to see more about the cleaved. With that black oil dripping from their armor, part of my imagines them not having any biological form reminiscent to being human, but instead under their armor, each Marine looking more like the ouroboros monster from Resident Evil 5.
Thanks for this, it helps to know there are not death guard plague marines. So what about colour schemes? I have never seen plague marines not painted green and another example, I have never seen khorne beserkers not painted red
Would recommend a quick search for plague marine colour schemes - there's more out there than you'd first think.
My plague company is the Pallid Hand, painted in their pre-heresy colours (although the off-white is now more like bleached bone). There's also the Gloaming Lords, who are black with bright green banding. Also would recommend looking up Death Guard Frostguard for some frosty plague marines.
As for khorne berzerkers, maybe look at Black Legion berzerkers and Iron Warrior zerkers for alternate colour schemes, but red is generally at least a spot colour.
Do you know what your sin is, Malcolm Reynolds?
Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven.
But right now, I'm gonna have to go with wrath.
Even have their own pretty good rules ( for renegades that is.)
Also, it's basically a deathcult, attempting to kill all live to restart again. But green is pretty much common theme, in conjunction with pale mostly overall.

I do have a bunch, maybee you like the idea: They are the ABC warfare subdivision of one of my armies and are called Billious Roentgens Irradiators.
Spoiler:
It's a kitbash of the new CSM kit with the PM kit. Uses my Scheme from Phyrax's warband (simple grey, with black trim, red helmet base, some differing puch colours and metal bits scratches) It's simple and somewhat good looking, a better painter would probably do an even better job.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.

They are also one of the examples of Chaos followers lying to themselves, as the Purge want to fight Chaos by following Chaos. Their goal is to kill off all life in the galaxy, like Necron Destroyers, except they use a lot of chemical and poison weaponry. They probably think they are turning Nurgle against Nurgle, and I'm sure Nurgle finds it amusing and in his "benevolence" gives them his blessings anyway.
Thabks everyone I am creating war bands for my creations of bile army and it’s only recently occurred to me that noise marines, beserkers, plague marines and rubrics don’t have to be in the EC, WE, DG & TS

I've got both Plague Marines and Berzerkers in my Black Legion army, so of course they have black armour with gold trim. You could take a similar approach if you were to choose one of the other non-specific Legions - say, Iron Warriors - or come up with your own.
Also remember that pre-Heresy Death Guard were white, you could do something with that... although admittedly, canonically, the largest changes happened during warp travel when no-one would have seen them.

It interesting isn’t it, one of the things that attracts me to the COB army is the ability to creat my own warband and not have BL or one of the other traitor legions. I’m tempted to paint up a loyalist SM more ina custom chapter and then build the corrupted layers on top in order to come up with a colour theme.

Being a follower of Nurgle doesnt make them Plague Marines, it makes them Chaos Marines dedicated to Nurgle.
That isnt to say they dont have any amongst their ranks though.
It has always been true that all Death Guard are Plague Marines, not all Plague Marines are Death Guard, just those that serve Nurgle in carrying Papas diseases and plagues to the mortal realm.
