Redking Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Nihilakh Oxide technical paint from GW. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349273-aging-bronze-painting-help/#findComment-5135116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Fortis Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nice sample! I've never had much luck with nihilakh oxide as it comes out of the jar. I dilute it to a wash and have had good luck that way.

Subtle Discord Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nihilakh Oxide is a good example of where GW gets things right with their technical paints; many of their normal paints I could take or leave, but several of their technical paints are just awesome. I use it 'neat' but you need to paint it on with a bit of care just where you want it and not treat it like a wash unless you're going to do a wet wipe of it. it's a nice way to get a somewhat pronounced effect of the oxidation, but just in the nooks and crannies so it doesn't overwhelm the metal. 2-3 selective applications can give you great control to build it up a bit as well, but you're right and it will go overboard very easy if you don't use it sparingly.

Lucio Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 That looks like GW's standard brass recipie Warplock Bronze Base Agrax wash Brass Scorpion highlight with runelord brass Then to age it, apply Nihilakh Oxide, I prefer a two brush approach, wash on, then use a clean brush in a drybrush pattern to take it back off. Leaves a milky residue but removes most of the colour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349273-aging-bronze-painting-help/#findComment-5138900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
