Subject: Do you need plague marine models for plague marines?

I'm currently in the works of repainting my models to go along with the color scheme of Plague marines, however the official plague marine models
have much 'bulkier' armor with grotesque pus coming out of them. If I go to my local hobby store, would they care if I use regular CSM models for Plague Marines?
I'm painting them a really disgusting green (Death World Forest) and coating their weapons in Typhus Corrosion.

No, I'm sure they won't. Most people don't know what an actual Plague Marine model looks like, anyway. You should be fine.

Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

I would think that as long as they look suitably Nurgle-y, they should be good. If you have Plague Marines and regular CSM with Mark of Nurgle, there could be confusion, but as long as you paint them different and/or do some obvious conversions on the models that are Plague Marines it should work ok.

I don't think anyone would have a problem with that...
However, with the new Traitor Legions book - you are almost better off running regular CSM with Mark of Nurgle than actual Plaguemarines due to cost.

As long as you clearly distinguish which ones are Plague Marines and which ones are normal Marines I don't think anyone will complain.
(Difficult to do with the other Cult Marines, Rubricae are supposed to have the hilarious giant hats, and Berserkers and Noise Marines have armament that isn't in the normal kits.)

That said, you're getting the special weapons with Plague Marines for cheaper. 50 points cheaper.
Chosen win on this account but they aren't troops so...

Honestly?
I don't mind plague marines modelled from the plastic kit, but I prefer them to be modelled wielding boltguns and knives (easy to do, stick bolters on bolt pistol arms and knives on chainsword arms).
I suppose what you have done is preferable to having 'plague marines' wielding chain swords. Personally I'd think their ornamentation speaks more toward chosen.
My opinion doesn't matter though, what matters is if the people you play against are satisfied.
