The Army Painter: Effect - Verdigris

Verdigris is that perfect oxidized turquoise‑green patina — the look copper gets after years of weather, salt, and neglect. It’s ancient, corroded, and beautifully ruinous. Brighter and more turquoise than Dark Rust, more metallic‑reactive than Fresh Rust, and it sits right in that “this statue has stood in the rain for centuries” zone.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Smooth Fanatic coverage ideal for patina effects on bronze, copper, brass, and aged magical artifacts

• Turquoise‑green oxidized tone perfect for statues, arcane constructs, ancient armor, nautical terrain, and relics

• Excellent highlight or mid‑tone over bronze metals, brown rusts, or weathered stone

• Matte finish that sells the chalky, mineral, powdery patina look even before stippling or texture mediums

Painter’s Vibe

Verdigris brings that “ancient magic sleeps beneath the corrosion” energy — perfect for forgotten idols, drowned ruins, cursed relics, and any miniature that thrives in turquoise‑green, time‑worn decay.
