How should I paint these 14 brothers?

14 unpainted plague marines should I paint them dusk raider colors, death guard or do I do something else

Well, that's pretty subjective - I mean, how do you want to paint them?  What are your thoughts about one versus the others?  Are there any armies (your own, friends' or others') that you are trying to make them fit in with or contrast with?  Do you have an intended base colour?

I like the dusk raider tan and the bronze of the green armor, but I don’t know about the flesh I’ve seen pink and I’ve seen purple. My only “army” is a small nid army that I got in a box set

That sounds like a nice scheme - bone/off-white death guard can be quite fetching, and I imagine tan would be no different.

 

As for the flesh, I think it would really depend on what the rest of the model looks like, but I suspect that purple would look better.  Do you intend to go "full on" purple or pink, or a more "fleshy" colour tinged or shaded towards purple/pink?

 

Why don't you chose which ever scheme you think is the most promising and paint up a test model?  That's the best way to judge which colours look the best together.  Or, if you don't want to have to potentially strip the model if you are unhappy with it, paint a piece of paper or some other surface with the colours you want in the approximate sizes/locations relative to each other that you would have on the mini.

Honestly I’m not too sure part of me things purple into pink but the other days pink into purple
