This guide is for hobbyists and model painters looking to add realistic weathering effects to their miniatures. Nihilakh Oxide provides an easy way to achieve a verdigris finish, simulating the natural aging of brass or bronze. A potential consideration is its opaque nature, which requires careful application to avoid obscuring detail.

Nihilakh Oxide is a technical paint used to create a verdigris effect, simulating the natural patina or corrosion on brass, bronze, or copper metal surfaces.
It is suitable for use on plastic, metal, and resin miniatures.
No, it's a water-based acrylic and part of the Technical range designed for specific effects. It can be applied straight from the pot or thinned for more controlled results.
Thin the paint with water or a medium and apply it as a glaze over metallic areas, or use a very light dry-brushing technique.
Opaque means the paint covers well and is not transparent. This allows the verdigris effect to be prominent, but also means it can cover underlying detail if applied too thickly.
Clean your brushes thoroughly with water immediately after use before the paint dries.
Each pot contains 12 ml of paint.
Shake the pot thoroughly. If still thick, add a small amount of water or acrylic medium to your palette and mix with the paint.
Apply a thinned coat of the paint. You can also try gently removing excess paint with a slightly damp brush or re-applying a base colour over the affected areas.
Work in smaller batches and use a wet palette. Add a tiny amount of 'slow-drying' medium if consistent issues arise.
Setup: Nihilakh Oxide is ready to use straight from the pot. Shake the pot well before use to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed. If the paint appears too thick for your desired application, thin it with a small amount of water or acrylic medium on your palette.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for use on plastic, metal, and resin miniatures. It can be applied over existing paint schemes, primers, or bare surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or grease for optimal adhesion.
Care: Clean your brushes immediately after use with water to prevent the acrylic paint from drying and clogging the bristles. Store the pot with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and prevent drying out. Avoid storing near extreme temperatures.
