Looking very forward to seeing the Necromunda content. We just finished up our first campaign last month. As for Peachy's gang. My suggestion is to do a corrupted Escher gang - either Chaos or Genestealer. This way he can try something different, but still stay with something familiar and loved.
That chunk of sabbat martyr peachy talks about is the most cinematic 40K writing ever. It should be used as the primer for all the shows they make. Run the traditional there is only war blurb, then follow Dalin Through the battle as a one take shot. That would get everyone’s attention
Henry Cavil As Ciaphas Cain, He'll never die, he's basicaly the only 40k charecter that is relatable to a modern human, and the tone is going to be more forgiving as far as getting orks on screen.
Does anyone remember Space: Above and Beyond? It was a fantastic series about a group of soldiers in the future. I'd love a similar series but 40k based. Or Gaunts Ghosts. Or anything.... I want it now! 😂
Very much looking forward to regular-ish Necromunda gaming stuff from you guys! 'Munda currently is my favourite GeeDubbs game, and we've recently started off a campaign, too. Incredibly excited for what you're up to!
Awesome, thank you! And yeah we’re very eager to get stuck in, be a week or two before we film, but that’ll give Geoff and Pat time to paint up their gangs
Having something to do with the Rogue Traders might be interesting for an Amazon series, showing the different races that the Imperium encountered and the arduous task dealing with the administratum and the horrors of the warp, set up like a mockumentary of life in the Outer Rim. Something like The Orville series.
My goodness, sorry about the hacking! I really enjoyed the Amazon discussion; I’m very excited to see what they can do with 40k. As for Peachy’s gang, I say go Van Saar!
Peachy, bit of a tangent - there is an audiobook on audible called 'Aliens: Bug Hunt' that is a collection of short stories about Colonial Marines (Including those at Hadleys Hope) and their experiences with various types of 'bug', previous to their ultimate fate on LV426. Its an interesting listen. Good show guys!
The audiodrama River of Pain is also top notch for what happened on LV426 prior to the events of Aliens The bug hunt collection is good. Some (1 or 2) stories are a bit naff, but the stories focusing on the marines from Aliens are the better ones though!
To Peachy's point about Wheel of Time and Rings of Power, I'd level Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Dredd. Both adaptations weren't perfect 1 to 1s of the source material, but they captured the core of their stories and were served well by their writers and directors. LOTR is a classic trilogy and Dredd is widely regarded as a great film as well.
Dan abbnet is the master of the "regular" human pov in the 40k narrative he needs to be as involved as possible in the writing or at least the story outlines as possible. in my humble opinion that is
Great video again! Really enjoyed listening to it :) keep up the good work! 💪 As for Necromunda, Peachy you’ve got to do Van Saars for sure 💪 no doubt in my mind it’s those lovely guys!
I have to put my vote in for Van Saars! I love the messed up archeotech. I've not seen much of Necromunda, so I'm eager to watch your series! Not that I need to get into another game...
I always had the idea of a show opening with world war 2 era troops shooting at an unknown enemy, the chaos of treach warfare, people dropping without being focused on them, following a trooper run through the whole mess, but them get jumped by a Tyranid, killed, title screen
Those turbo dork metallics are killer. The standard coloured metallics are just as good as the 'color shift' variants. Great pigmentation and shine. Good choice.
TBH I think the Bequin series could have worked really well as an adaptation to TV. Would have put Cavill in one of the roles that the community seem to imagine him in. Eisenhorn. and on top of that its a good story, from a human perspective in the 40k universe that cements things like Astartes and Xenos as extremely rare and extremely dangerous.
Escher gang for me, I just love their models. I’ve been using house Delaque for my GSC for metamorphs and love those guys. If I was going to play necromunda think they’re the guys I’d go for too. The first warhammer games I really watched were necromunda so looking forward to seeing what you guys do. Hope everyone has a good christmas 😊
I'm with you on WH40K show/movie. Start small, grow slowly. As much as players like Space Marines, starting with regular human perspective is smarter choice. If DCEU teaches us something is that jumping the shark is not the best idea. Develop your universe for average watcher, then you an expand and introduce more abstract ideas. Tanith story as a TV show, that ends season with scene described by Peachy would be a perfect fit. Finish with a bang, leave viewers hanging and wanting more! Space Marines should be treated as 'monsters' in 40k show. They could be more humanized in 30k storyline, but still more 'grandiose' than regular human. Not mentioning Primarchs. I hope they don't mess it up and not make it bland.
Honestly I think the Warhammer Crime approach would be a good jumping off point for like a mini series, Varangantua is definitely grimdark but it's not insanely so that people who aren't familiar with the setting can't understand the premise. Plus the noir feeling would translate really well I believe. Then they can build off of that; maybe we get to follow hive conscripts who are shipped off to fight some rebellion, or we get to follow some gangers trying to scrape a living fighting other gangs and the corrupt system. I think a proper Warhammer "cinematic universe" for lack of a better word would have to take the approach Marvel has taken; start out with the fluffy but relatable stuff that fits both fans and those who have more or less no experience with the setting and then ramp up to the more obscure and gritty stuff.
Great chat again guys, enjoying the content as always. Would love to see Henry Cavil take on the Age of Apostasy to start the entry into warhammer. Think that could be achieved to ease everyone in. Plus check out Pete the wargamer video on the void scions. They take pouches to a new uncontrollable level.
your idea for cavill is on point and I give you who he will play. The antagonist. The King in yellow. Valdor. So he can play in this series and a lot more. Like marvel or star wars Valdor is a character that has the Option for 30k, own ideas, and 40k
If you're listened to, or read, the WH40K crime series, there are some really great stories and ideas there for TV series. Much smaller scale, very human oriented. Almost non-Imperium like Imperium. Some great stuff.
I think the best thing to do would be to not adapt a story and instead carve out your own just for the series. That would give you more freedom to explore and have things progress. It would also make sense to have the main character be an Inquisitor or even a Rogue Trader because they are uniquely powerful enough to be able to freely go about the universe while still being human. With a Rogue Trader, you could even have an Eldar or Kroot be part of the retinue and slowly explain what those are. It also wouldn't be unusual for either position to later run into a Space Marine or some Sisters of Battle. Have the opening shot be the protagonist walking down a corridor establishing the gothic aesthetic. Have them walk past a servitor or have a servo-skull fly by. Set up from the get-go that things aren't great in this universe.
Honestly i would of loved to join the patreon, but money is tight right now, with being unemployed and being on benefits. i still wish you guys all the best and i love every damn video you guys put out. :)
I agree that I would put money on an Eisenhorn (maybe earlier years) being the first 'dip' into the 40k Universe. Gaunt's Ghosts series would be brilliant.
They could really do a tear jerker movie where you get the odd narration from an ogryn's inner voice as the movie goes along that includes said ogryn some of the time within the lattice of simpleness, complexity, clarity and cloudiness within a battle/war/expedition/crusade.
To land the universe in my opinion 40k will need a prologue scene at the very beginning much like in the fellowship of the ring. Easily the best prologue in film history!! Just explains exactly everything, different cultures and races plus some well needed history
I am so here for the Necromunda content! My vote goes to Van Saar, purely because I want to see Peachy paint colour shift hoverboard boys! On a related note, I remember watching a RUclips video of Peachy opening the new (at the time) Necromunda Dark Uprising box set, he was like a kid on Christmas morning 😄
Something you said got me thinking. When you say "they need to humanize Space Marines" i am reminded of the awful Space Marine movie where they were all new Space Marines, but were acting like a bunch of 20yo army grunts. But they are not that. By the time they are space marines they have been fighting for years; so even the newest tactical marine is more a vet than any vet we have in RL. Though also like it was mentioned, space marines seen through human eyes is really where they stand out. Seeing how much better they are than regular people really adds to the awe... then add in the xenos scum that can easily defeat them and you get a great snapshot of this wonderful dark universe.
With this Amazon deal, I'm a step closer to seeing a 'Band of Brothers-esque' show surrounding the Last Chancer's or the Tanith 1st or something similar ❤️
Offft awesome pile of plastic crack but I'm still waiting on another trumbone gag pat lol. All joking aside I'm glad you guys are up and running again. Missed ye fellas
Technically doesn't fit the bill but I have to mention - Space: Above and Beyond which was an incredibly underrated Sci Fi soldiers in space adventure with some quirky character and decent plots.
Start the WH40k cinematic universe with the rise to power of The Emperor on Earth and then the conflict with Mars. It is the most relatable story to onboard new fans and also the simplest story to instantly make dramatic. It also hasn't been completely mined out for existing 40K fans.
I think you're right that Eisenhorn is a great place to start with a 40k cinematic/television universe, with one small problem: it has basically nothing to do with the tabletop (there's the occasional space marine and chaos space marine, and some guardsmen, but there aren't any huge battles and most of the xenos and chaos threats are absent). I think they should start with Eisenhorn, but my worry is that they'll try to go for something more linked to the tabletop (much like the stuff on Warhammer+). It's definitely the most approachable Black Library series, imo. 40k has a bit of a problem (I guess) that there's no central narrative that everything wraps around, except maybe the Heresy. Star Wars has the original trilogy to revolve around, Middle Earth has The Lord of the Rings, but there's no single conflict at the heart of 40k - by design, it's a banquet of different wars, conflicts and interests. Heresy could work but it's also set 10,000 years before the tabletop setting, and is very different to the world of 40k in many ways. Could definitely imagine a limited series based around the first 3 Heresy novels, though... Would love to see Jason Isaacs as Eisenhorn, think he'd be able to smash the role. A man can dream...
I think Cavill will be a Custodes as they effectively are immortal. So he could be one of the originals Custodes from the Unification of Terra all the way to present day as an Eye of the Emperor if you didnt want the character tied to the throneworld
I would love Amazon to do the Heresy, but I think the easiest way to humanise it and give it that gateway feel to new folks would be the Remebrancers. The first book in the series generally has that feel to it as well, only the later books are just Astartes handbags at dawn. That way the marines are almost background noise. But the main reason why I think it'll be something like Eisenhorn is the cost factor. I mean how much money will it make to bring entire legions to life? Would it be practical suits, augmented cgi suits, fully cgi? And the cgi is the bit that worries me the most as that can be an immersion breaker when done poorly. What ever they hopefully do release I'll be giving it my full support, even if it didn't meet my expectations ... because that's the only way we'll see more. I hope many understand and realise that hashtagging not my warhammer would only seal the coffin on future projects.
@@thepaintingphase No I totally get it. Should have used /s. I think it'll be hard to make them more than that though. They'll either need to follow a Scout so we can see how they grow and interact, or just not make Space Marines the focus. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with and what Henry ends up playing as.
Peachy's Wilhelm scream should really be clipped and added to the censor soundboard
Looking very forward to seeing the Necromunda content. We just finished up our first campaign last month.
As for Peachy's gang. My suggestion is to do a corrupted Escher gang - either Chaos or Genestealer.
This way he can try something different, but still stay with something familiar and loved.
That chunk of sabbat martyr peachy talks about is the most cinematic 40K writing ever. It should be used as the primer for all the shows they make. Run the traditional there is only war blurb, then follow Dalin Through the battle as a one take shot. That would get everyone’s attention
Ooh what an intro that would make
I’m sold!
It was The Armour Of Contempt 👍
Henry Cavil As Ciaphas Cain, He'll never die, he's basicaly the only 40k charecter that is relatable to a modern human, and the tone is going to be more forgiving as far as getting orks on screen.
Necromunda series sounds cool, I'm totally down to watch all of it.
Samsies
Yes!
Super excited for this necromunda! Keep up the necromunda chat absolutely love it!
Us too! Thanks Boss.
Loving the channel chaps. Motivating me to keep on with my hobby ♥️♥️
Loved the pitch meeting on all the different 40k shows !
Love the idea of more Necromunda content
This is without doubt becoming my favourite pod cast. Love you guys and the banter. So excited for what you bring in the new year.
Can’t wait to show you!
“BROTHERS of the SNAKE”, also by Dan Abnett is, the best book for introducing Space Marines.
Just reread that recently, brilliant book
Great to hear its Necromunda.
Does anyone remember Space: Above and Beyond? It was a fantastic series about a group of soldiers in the future. I'd love a similar series but 40k based. Or Gaunts Ghosts. Or anything.... I want it now! 😂

Everyone needs a Peachy in their hobby group, turning up with bags of fun weapons, arms, pouches, etc 🙂
I’d hope they start with gaunts ghosts…basically space Sharpe!
Crimson Queens for sure! Maybe chuck some Daughters of Khaine bits in to the mix?
Great video again chaps.
Merry Christmas!

I’m so glad your using turbo dork there paints are amazing

Listening to the bit about generation-queues hits different after hearing about WarhammerFest :)
Cornwell is my favorite author, glad to hear him mentioned.

Dredd is a good action movie but it completely fails to capture the satire of the comics. it doesnt even try.
Love listening in while painting. Always entertaining.
Thanks 😍😍😍
44:00 what about “Space: Above and Beyond”?
Forgot about that, good shout - Geoff
@@thepaintingphase I think it deserved more than one season. I even have the 3 issue comic book mini series.

Those turbo dork metallics are killer. The standard coloured metallics are just as good as the 'color shift' variants. Great pigmentation and shine. Good choice.
I vote for Escher. Simply because models are so much different from each other, so we see more of your great painting skills :P
I second this motion 😆👍 - Peachy

Re 40k TV, my wishlist would be for them to do a TV show on Blackstone Fortress. You have in that loads of aliens, chaos, human drama etc etc.

If DCEU teaches us something is that jumping the shark is not the best idea. Develop your universe for average watcher, then you an expand and introduce more abstract ideas.

Hooray Necromunda!!! I vote for Van Saar, but really just anything Necromunda will make me happy
Majestic conversations 🤌
Thanks Chris - Geoff
Another great episode of The Peachy Phase!
Lol.
The recent marvel Calgar comic by Kieron Gillan would work well as a show as it is space marine adjacent but mostly covers him as an aspirant

Peachy should do delaques… the cosplay pretty much sorts itself
They should do the original Jaq Draqo inquisitor series. Hands down I knew nothing about 40K when I read that and here we are.
My vote is Weathered Van Saars.
Necromunda is my main game and I'm looking forward to some necro-content...be it painting or batreps.

I've just discovered you guys, I'm really enjoying your content!
What are your favourite 40k books ?
Hey thanks for the support! And my personal favourite books are the Gaunts Ghost novels, can’t answer for Pat and Geoff though - Peachy
I’d love to see a take on Van Saar.
Great chat, peachy should do Van Saar gang
never download the media pack! peachy looks good in the space-pants hair tho :-)
We’re getting your warning tattooed on our arms, Brent!
They could really do a tear jerker movie where you get the odd narration from an ogryn's inner voice as the movie goes along that includes said ogryn some of the time within the lattice of simpleness, complexity, clarity and cloudiness within a battle/war/expedition/crusade.
What would be more brutal than the first 5 minutes of UP.
Rule of Cool for me, Peachy is obviously digging a chance to do another Escher gang, so they get my vote :)
To land the universe in my opinion 40k will need a prologue scene at the very beginning much like in the fellowship of the ring. Easily the best prologue in film history!! Just explains exactly everything, different cultures and races plus some well needed history
Bloody good prologue isn't it, even after all these years! That would be a great way to explain humanity in the 40k setting
Oh dear lads, lets see where this goes.
Do the Van Saar. If you have already done an Escher gang, this will be something different. Also I look forward to see how you paint them.
I love the idea of Henry cavil making a Necromunda series. Maybe following kal jericho or something like that.
I am so here for the Necromunda content! My vote goes to Van Saar, purely because I want to see Peachy paint colour shift hoverboard boys!
On a related note, I remember watching a RUclips video of Peachy opening the new (at the time) Necromunda Dark Uprising box set, he was like a kid on Christmas morning 😄
Hahaha! I loved doing that with Andy and I was like a kid on Xmas 😂

Which Gaunt book do they fight the Iron warriors in, I can remember Mkoll fighting the damaged dreadnaught.
If I remember correctly, Iron Warriors book one - Geoff

'Space Marine handbags at dawn...' 😆
Marines are like ninjas - 100 are fodder, 1 is a serious threat!
Could do the unification war starting at last church/valdors book. But I think it will be Eisenhorn

The Expanse is an amazon series that is done well.

HH movie with cavill playing every primarch
Crimson Queens ftw!
I just hope the Amazon work is set in the same universe as the books.
I think Cavill will be a Custodes as they effectively are immortal. So he could be one of the originals Custodes from the Unification of Terra all the way to present day as an Eye of the Emperor if you didnt want the character tied to the throneworld
