Hi, im interested how i can reach the same Oxide effect in my Orks like the Evil Sunz from GW.


nihilakh oxide for my experience is not similar, a little more palid like a blue pastel colour... Maybe i can reach the same result apply Stegadon Scale Green or Arhiman Blue with a little of Baharrot blue. I dunno, what do you advise?

Funny thing is, if you're not paying attention, Nihilakh Oxide and Skink Blue are damn near identical. When I bought my pot of Oxide, the paint shelf hadn't been properly maintained and I grabbed skink blue without noticing until a little later when my gut said to check.

Never Buy Nihilakh Oxide. Only see miniatures finished and dont like the results. I see very Dirty (The stains effects) and so white.


The examples of the orks i posted look more a glaze of Hawk Tourquese vs Nihilakh Oxide. (Or the pigment more concentrated. I dunno)
Its very subtle but not the same :(
But yes, you are right. Maybe with a glaze of Sotek Green can obtain the equivalent.

I mix Barraroth Blue (Edge) and water to make a thin wash then apply it into the recesses with a fine brush, personally

I love Nihilak oxide but that is much bluer than the Nihilak comes out, it's more towards a green verdigris. I might try something like PossumCraft suggested, to make a more blue verdigris, or maybe Teclis blue - if you have GW stuff you can just use lahmian medium to make the glaze and basically pin wash it where you want it to go. Otherwise, something like Liquitex matte medium - since you want a very matte appearance on verdigris type effects - would be my go to.
