Who here has experience painting bronze oxidation/verdigris? I'm considering getting Vallejo's verdigris effect or possibly nihilakh oxide to do it as part of an aged bronze sanguinary guard squad. Any recommendations?

I've used Vallejo's verdigris effect. It seemed fine to me. Since I avoid buying GW paints, I have not used nihilakh oxide, so I can't do a comparison.

Valleo has two different Verdigris paints. One in the Model Color line and one in the Game Effects line.

News to me. So to amend my earlier post, I used the Verdigris Glaze from Vallejo's Model Color line.

I use the GW technical paint - always worked out OK for me.
