It's so brave of Peachy to address paintile disfunction in such an open and empathetic manner.
Yeah it eventually gets us all, especially at my age 👀😂
Glorious Description 🤣
"Brought to you today by Vygrara. Vygrara, when you can't afford the embarrassment of PD."
Peachy's brush control always makes me feel like a baby flailing around
Lol i was thinking epileptic monkey in my case but same feeling exactly.
The Ad in this episode is expertly done 😂 that’s a great way to segue in and out by using the subject of the video itself. Well done!
Confession: I paint my rims all sorts of colours
Stormcast Eternals - Black
Lumineth Realm Lords - Steel Legion Drab
Orruk Clans - Dark Angels Green
Soulblight Gravelords - Khorne Red
Nighthaunt - Black
Flesh Eater Courts - Khorne Red
Never feel shame. This is correct. Painting all rims black is for cowards.
Big ups to our Patrick. The direction and video quality is so good that I have to watch these on the big tv. Probably the only hobby channel I do this.
Ventrillian Nobles with quite possibly the most fabulous squarespace advert of all time. Love those chaps
These videos are always relatable, beautifully filmed and well edited.
I love finding new or different minis. When I get bored I move to d&d minis. It’s a nice reset to paint something completely different!
Loving the slight beard Peach. The influence from the other boys must be having an effect.
😂😂😂 I reckon your right, the wife hates my prickly beard lol
@@thepaintingphasehow much do we need to convince you to grow a massive moustache?
Peachy, Bizet’s Carmen, and Erik Satie’s Gymnopedie No. 1… the aural-visual kitbash you never knew you needed so much.
Funny that when I saw that shot of them all on the table half painted I thought "nope, don't feel like finishing those".
whoever chose the music for this, NAILED IT. That was thoroughly wonderful
Fancy music for some fancy lads!
I was really not feeling my Blooded Kill team about 2 weeks ago, and for the first time ever thinking about stripping them and starting over and i just wasn’t happy with how them, and it made me not want to sit down and paint anything at all. I decided to slap a layer of contrast paint over what I had just because I wanted to see if just putting some paint on them would re-ignite the desire to paint anything, and once the contrast dried, it was exactly what they needed to suddenly look like something I was excited to highlight and finish, and now I’m really proud of them, and working on the last model!
Brilliant that’s great to hear you got over the hump and was able to finish them, awesome stuff
Thanks Peachy and team for making this video. It probably won’t be the most watched but it’s very meaningful for those of us who have watched it. We all hit a bit of a painting wall and it’s heartening to be reminded that that is as true for professional painters as amateurs. It’s great to push ourselves but it’s also totally ok to take it easy and get some models done that might not be your best, might not be as good as the rest / others of the army, might not have gone through the same processes or used the exact same paints. They are still awesome and they might well help you get back in the groove . Thanks guys. Keep up the wonderful videos.
I love that there are Blood Bowl bits in here.
By far, my favorite game.
Wonderful work. Always happy to see more Ventrillian nobles. It'd be nice to see the whole army together.
I can relate so much to this. I had a period of time trying to make everything perfect without getting many models painted. I started slap chopping more and then hitting the edge highlights later which has sped up the whole process and i'm pleased enough with the results. I'd love to see some more videos like this and how to get that smoother dry brush instead of the chalky look
This video is gold. I always countered the painting burnout with a change of hobby for a bit, but this video makes me think that a simple change of technique can easily give me that easy reward to guide me into finishing a project. Very well done Peachy!
Lovely use of the Imperial nobility blood bowl team!
In this british army of the redcoat day the officers used a completely different dye pigment to the troops as cochineal was too expensive for general use, madder was used for the troops.
Awesome fact, I love it! - Geoff
Best Squarespace add I have ever seen!! Epic boys!! Thank you
Love it and completely agree that the struggle of the basecoat is my problem too. I recently found a series called ‘eavy Contrast on RUclips in which the basecoat is done entirely with contrast and then layering and highlighting proceeds as normal. Highly recommend.
Ooh cheers Han for that recommendation 😍👍
Great video guys - should be on every hobbyists new year re-watch list, as there are likely projects that stalled during the previous year (or 5). Keep the great content coming.
This video is ace & love the message here.
Rolling back my standards has been a big breakthrough for me, I was always trying to paint everything to completion. I was getting disheartened at the time it was taking me to do things.
For some reason I shifted my view to ‘good enough’ painting, so for 2023 I’ve shifted to ‘battle ready plus’ painting standard for everything to get it on the table. I thought I’d hate this, but I’ve really enjoyed completing things and getting units done. Love this message and would encourage anyone to try it out and shift perspectives!
I really like the advice to paint things a bit differently if it means getting them done. I’d been hating the thought of painting my Deepkin because halfway through I realised I couldn’t be bothered with how long my original scheme took, but I didn’t want to risk trying an easier method in case it looked inconsistent
Sometimes those inconsistency really add to the flavour. I hope the vid helps get those deepkin done
How Peachy got his MOJO back! They look great sir, and thank you for the video. Fine advice for getting back into it.
so glad you finished your boys been wondering about em recently because they look absolutely smashing
Really relatable and helpful vid! I mostly do projects in big chunks but it can be hard to power through. Also matching to the old stuff is always a concern but you had some really great advice!
Brilliant, I’m chuffed it had some useful tips
This is good stuff. A good reminder to stop and change the process when you just aren't feeling it.
Great video Peachy (and team). As someone that is surrounded by better painters at work, I often struggle with getting in the painting zone at some point in every project. Great to have some extra tools in the arsenal to help push through.
FFS I thought it was a Warhammer Fantasy Reik lander then I pegged the plasma pistol!
The difference in colour of uniforms never bothers me. Weathering, different materials used when manufacturing like you say 👍 that ak brass looks a nice paint I think I'll have to get some
Good job
Great uses of kitbashing here and there. Worthy of such a nice batch-paint job. I think they look really good. Nice motivational approach.
Well done.Thanks for the inspiration. Why not creating yt shorts like the advertisement? Love it. Imagine a noble regiment have to do some duty on necromunda. Its a lovely place.The people there are so glowing and nice.
I can't tell you much relieving it is to know that even somebody like you struggles from time to time. In my head, I've got the greatest ideas for units and figures and projects, and my shelves (and bank account) tell me I've got everything I need to go -- and then I sit in front of it and it's all a bit meh and it's tough to get going. Weird that. But here's hope!
Felt that premise all too well. The army looks amazing!
Suffering GW hobby burnout? Paint 1 Perry Miniature every day until symptoms reduce, or until you have a full set of Agincourt Mounted Knights completed. Whichever comes first.
Hahaha! That’s some great medical advice, any side effects at all?
@@thepaintingphase Side effects include, but are not limited too; Increased interest in historical wargaming, bigger piles of shame, extreme kit bashing and a love for Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue.
Awesome stuff Peachy!
These dudes look so cool! Love the nice additive process.
Cheers bud, was actually really relieving to get them done
Not a single sleeve rolled up. Looks amzing.
Except mine it seems 😂😂😂
@@thepaintingphase touchė.
The war of black rim vs brown rim.
And I'm over here with my gold rims
😂😂😂 you monster!
And there's the truly based (lol) choice - the goblin green rim.
Not me staring at my unfinished Beasts of Chaos that would be a huge chunk of my pile of opportunity completed
Great job and great topic. Very enjoyable and relatable.
I love your work and you always do such a great job of explaining what you are doing. You are like the Jacques Pepin of mini painting! Practical techniques with high end results that are attainable by anyone with a little bit of time and practice.
Well thank you kindly Bill, much appreciated, I just hope folks get something useful and practical out of the vids 😍👍
I have been painting for about 2 years now and have painted up 8 different armies and I have learned something new from each of your videos. More importantly, I have ventured out of my comfort zone time and again. This most recent video has inspired me to do a 30 minute challenge. Each mini in army painted in 30 minutes or less!
I fully support the Brown Rim Base movement! My favorite army has brown rim bases (Death Guard) and when I'm painting my filthy Ultramarines, they get the plain black rims, because they are just basic, lol. :)
I too am a fan of brown rim bases...but use black if it's a snow base
The way you did the page on that book was great. Definitely keeping that in my back pocket.
Ha, ha, I suppose for Peachy a year on the shelf is a long time, but I've got projects on hiatus for 3, 5 and more years. I've since come to terms with it as so long as I'm doing something I can't complain about projects half done. That happens mainly because I have plenty of projects on the go at once - the main tactic I have to prevent hobby burnout. As soon as I lose my mojo on a project I jump to another one, I look at it like a surfer constantly trying to catch the next wave and always keeping moving.
I almost always base first, so I never start from a blank 'canvas' and if I get basecoats and washes on and then pause and go onto something else that's cool. I know when I come back most of the tedious work is done and the more creative highlights and blending is ready for me, so that I can move them forward. Bottom line - every project has its time, even if that is years from when I first started it. As rewarding as it is to finish a model, there is nothing like the feeling of finally finishing a model that's been 8 to 10 years on the painting table!
Awesome vid! Thanks Peachy!
Awesome paintjob!!!!
That purple is such a beautiful paint
Glad you're re-invigorated Cap'n Peachy. Nice work.
I'll definitely do this next time I have something to paint!
They are looking great.
Great results!
Nicely done, Mr. Peach! I'm glad you were able to finally get these gents painted!
I've got to get some Rough Riders because I'm hoping to do a small platoon of Ventrillian Rough Riders for Noblevember this year...
Here's hoping it's more successful than last year!
Ha! Same, I reckon I’ll do some attilians with a noble twist
What a fantastic video peachy, definitely need to take some these tips to get out of my slump
Awesome 👍 I hope it helps Aaron
good advice i needed :) cool minis too
The sponsor portion voice over was hilarious
As the old Jaded Gamercast podcast once said, "Done is the best color." Great job breaking through the block, Peachy, and thanks for sharing it with us!
😍🙏😍 thank you
Brilliant!
I watched this last night while I was finally making headway through getting a unit of Repentia painted for my Sisters of Battle. Great kit and awesome looking models, but the moment I finished assembling and priming them and had to actually start painting them, I just lose all interest. There's so many awkward nooks and crannies and tiny little details to have to pick out, it feels like they're going to monopolize all of my hobby time for ages. I don't like to switch projects once I start them, so my hobby productivity plummeted for about a week or two as a result.
Like you say in the video however, once you sit down and put colour on them for long enough that you can start to see what they're going to look like, the motivation just comes flooding back and suddenly I couldn't be more excited to be working on this unit and to see it through to the end. This happens every single time I go to paint a unit for Adepta Sororitas, without fail - but I still get surprised every time it happens. 🤷♂
But anyway, Team Black Base Rims forever so thumbs down and unsubscribe. 😂
Nice one! This is the exact stage my Drukhari are at, a mix of styles/undercoats and I need to get past the ‘wall’. I think I’ll start tidying up my Wyches like this and see how they look compared to my ‘proper’ Kabalites.
Peachy: "You reckon he's quite rugged and deep voiced?"
Pat: "I think so."
Me: "Oh no..."
>Ad starts<
Me: >takes of glasses; pinches bridge of nose; sighs
😂😂😂
Peachy, can use the most destroyed brush, and still paint a line clean. Noice.
I like this lesson in breaking the painter's block. Myself, I often launch habitually into the slog, edge highlighting being the most required and yet most unrewarding things I end up spending time on (truly, no one cares about edge highlighting, ever. And yet, if you don't do it, people will be all critical about not having done it :P ) Sometimes you just gotta crack on and find that vibe. I dig it!
Yeah you get it 😍👍
I have two motivating miniatures for my days where I hate edge highlighting: Two plague marines, one with all the panels, wounds and cracks edge highlighted, and the other where I just didn't. Seeing the difference in quality side by side, on two miniatures I painted myself, motivates me immediately.
Great tips! Ive run into the same issue trying to paint models in the "traditional" style now that i primarily paint using a Slapchop style which is way more fun for me. Any chance you have any pics or footage of how you converted the Ogyn? He looks mega! 😊
Excellent video and advice.
Great video. Been in exactly the same position with having models at different stages of painting and having a mental block. I find that if I can batch paint 5 at a time, and do each stage consistently, I can churn out whole units with no problem. My advice is to avoid doing bits and pieces of odd models (and don't leave anything half finished to start something else), but rather tackle a squad/character at a time as bite-size mini projects.
Great advice Rob, cheers 👍👍👍 - Peachy
Amazing !!
Thank you Peachy for giving me the motivation and means to get back onto my victrix romans
Ave persicum!
The best promo for squarespace ever. I watched it twice. 😂
😂👍 cheers, gotta make those adverts as interesting g as we can lol
@@thepaintingphase Well, it earned you a new patreon as well 😁. That and seeing Jeff happily sanding a vehicle during a podcast.
This is a great topic for a video. Essentially don't let perfect get in the way of good. They look great Peachy 👍
Wabi sabi for the win 👍👍👍
Cool as always.
looks fantastic! Honestly another reason I would want to start a guard army is to have one of those unique regiments to customize and paint. Also not sure if yo relaized but you forgot the power supply on the swords
This is really good i enjoy videos like this
Another great show, thank you, gents nobles look brilliant peachy. I can't help but hear Lord flasheart wanting a pint of bombardier
Hahaha! 😂👍
This has the best advertisement I've ever seen
My Astra Militarum combat patrol is getting Steel Legion Drab base rims. It looks so much better than black with my mud/grass basing. Cheers Peachy!
Nice on Tom 🙌🙌🙌
I'm going spend the rest on my day having my every move narrated by the voices from your square space ad
Hahaha
Excellent video and I love the added value of having felt like I just watched a Japanese movie dubbed into English!
A mojoless peachy isn’t a world I would want to live in
HERETIC!!! All bases should be Goblin Green!!!
Seriously, good video. Thanks for giving tips on making tying newer paint jobs into older painted sets. Keep up the good work.
My theory, based on what Peachy's saying here, my own experience, and anecdotal evidence from friends, is that the issue isn't to do with losing one's hobby mojo, but instead stems from the fact that base coating just *isn't* that fun. Highlighting? Shading? Applying basing materials? Could do them for days, but applying base coats? Blegh.
Oh boy, same BB team that is just taunting me, half-painted, from the shelf...😂
Dry ground dry brush. Great tip.
I personally feel that hobby can be like going to the gym or work, sometimes we don't want to do it but if we push through the motivation comes back (this is especially like gym). We need to he more disaplined
Great video, recognising painting block or lack of mojo.
Yeah it happens to us all at some point, bloody annoying
Sometimes getting these armies all painted can really seem like a chore. I think anything to re-ignite the spark is worth trying! And next thing you know you got an awesome little group of guys. They came out great!
Yeah I’m super pleased with how they turned out, though pats videography really does showcase that dust, thought I dusted them good and proper before painting…..turns out no 😂😂😂
@@thepaintingphase haha seeing your mini's zoomed in HD really lets you see all the tiny details your eyes miss.
I am finding doing this helps me also. It also gets me excited to play my favorite army again also.
Yeah I’m super stoked to get some kill team in aswell as adding more Nobles to the collection
That Ventrillian Ogryn is mega! Inspiring me to try some kitbashing & straying away from the box art colours 😅
Yaaaay! I call him Colour Sgt Brawn
Beautiful scheme!
Also it looks like one of peachy's brushes doesn't want to hold a point, like the crappy army painter brushes I bought once. You can see it at 5:15, it's pointy, then by 5:19 it has splayed out all over the place! Brutal.
Great video with a great message. Just a quick note to say a couple of the paints were annotated in the wrong order in the basing, think pale sand was first, and might want to consider different colour fonts for the pale colours, white text on white grey background was a bit tough to read, but keep up the great work 👍
Great observation I’ll feed that back 👍👍👍
Looks great.
Honestly you lads should be checking out Duncan's Two Thin Coats line of paints. Great quality and the washes are so nice.
Ok, now I want to turn my Vet Guardsman in to Ventrillian Nobels! They look so cool. I went for Miasman Redcowls.
Tbf Miasman redcowls are pretty dope
Complete tangent, but have you considered using some of Wargames Atlantic’s Grognard Ogres for Ventrillian Ogryns?
Excellent work by the way!
Ooh I haven’t…..but I might now
@@thepaintingphase I’ve also just realised, they also do plastic “landsknecht ogres” now, which could be a good source of Empire-style heads/bits too!
I think they turned out great. Sometimes you need a different approach to get things done because it's easier to keep going as soon as you actually got going :)
Yep I couldn’t agree more 👍
it doesnt matter if the jackets look slightly different anyway, realistically when it comes to a military some will be slightly different shades anyway
Exactly…..took me a while to realise that was fine…..annoyed it took me so long tbh 😂
@@thepaintingphase "Steve lost his jacket and got a nice brand new one so it looks different to Daves that he has been wearing for 10 years"
I think to a degree it will be one of those things that you notice every time you look at the models but literally no one else ever notices.
In my day we just called it lazy painting!
I've been designing in my head an Ultramarines army. I'd love to build so that I have the different companies, so use the company colors as rim colours.
I had a no mojo period this last two weeks. Sometimes a speedpaint or two is what you need to jump start it!
Hell yeah 👍👍👍 I’m so glad I just slapped paint on in the end, really helped get past that slump
