The family has asked me for a fully painted Heroquest set to play over Christmas. I have been watching your videos, both new and old. They have proved invaluable in what I thought would be an impossible mission. Whilst there are a lot of speed painting guides out there, yours are unique in that you show us simple techniques that lift the minis to a higher standard. Great vid as always. Thank you.
That is no mean feat!!!! Even I haven’t got the energy to do that lol…..you have nothing but my upmost respect for doing that. I hope it all goes smoothly….much love peachy 😍🙏😍
Painted up an IJA army recently and followed a similar speedpainting structure but with one difference in order. Since their uniform base is more khaki, I sprayed them with Desert Yellow and dry brushed them all with ivory. Then I painted the rest of the elements with contrast paints. The ivory worked as a highlight on the khaki uniform but also acted as a highlight ala slapchop for all the contrast layers that went on top. Fastest army I've ever painted.
OH my god.....out of all this video...showing "how to fix a mistake".....best part. NO ONE EVER shows the mistakes its just "I use this paint and I put it here". Makes people people feel like crap when they screw up and don't know how to fix a mistake other then strip it and start over...THANK YOU!!!!!!
You're very welcome Rob! Peach likes to make tutorials which are honest and practical and we're super pleased to hear you like this approach and find it helpful 😀 Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
Although I'm not the ideal audience for this kind of mini and beyond beginners painting, I'll still always watch all of your painting tips videos! So motivating.
I do enjoy how kind you are with your guides, giving new painters permission to be as basic as they want as long as it gets 'em playing. I'm sure we've all procrastinated in the past when threatened by a standard that's out of our reach. And the use of the speedpaints over basecoats is such an easy, effective method that looks great. You're a good man Peachy.
It’s so easy to get hung up by the quality of stuff out there and easily makes us mere mortals feel inadequate, but at the end of the day painting should be fun and the only person that should be judging you is yourself. Ive always been more chuffed with my quick paint jobs than I’ve ever been with my high end ones. Really pleased you like the vids 😍🙏😍
That captain America is amazeballs! More bolt action,more conversion and can't wait for the complete guide to every German camouflage uniform in WW2..and the Dennison smock of course No
Great painting guide Peachy, has really helped me paint up my British Airborne quicker than I expected. The snow effect is so simple, but effective. Keep up the good work dude 🫡
As someone who is completely new to this your videos are much more useful to me than any beginners paint set. Learning just basic techniques like this are great. Thank you, from another Derbyshire lad :) haha
I really enjoyed that show, especially the filming style…..still can’t unsee the main character/officer ….sparks is it?….. as BBC’s King Arthur though 😆
Absolutely cracking video Mr Peach. Really love how you do videos that assume no prior knowledge and experience. So many painting guides are aimed at very experienced painters. Loving the Bolt Action stuff, hopefully I'll have my Americans done soon. Thanks for the great content, keep up the good work.
Sonic Sledgehammer has a great hack for snow. Mix water, PVA, and pure baking soda to the proper consistency and then slap it on. Much cheaper than texture paint and looks great. Use Pure baking soda (check the box to make sure) otherwise it'll turn yellow after a time. Though I suppose a LITTLE yellow snow might be approptiate😁. I used this, along with some flint shards, to base my Frostgrave warband. For firearms I use Vallejo Express Wasteland Brown for the wood and AP Fanatic Broadsword Silver for the metal. As for skin I use Pro Acryl Olive skin as a base, then use AP Peachy Flesh over that. Looks great, and not just because it's "Peachy"!
Yes, great stuff, three levels of painting miniatures and they stack .. thank you, this made me happy. They all look good, easy to replicate and straight forward .. nice. I used to struggle at times painting, masterpiece showcases in magazines are at times soul crushing as they can be inspiring, I changed how I paint to simple block colours, drybrush, wash everything in one go, then highlights, embelish characters with extra love, similar to this paint guide. I'm more productive, happier, and over all my miniatures look better too. I like the thing with snow spatter and the simplistic snowy bases, thats cool. Awesome snowy photos. Cap made me smile, I'm a fan of WWII hero comics, made me want to see Cap and the Invaders thwart nazis, the JSA, the All-Star Squadron, and the Freedom Fighters stand against the axis powers.
I’ve found by just doing fun simple schemes, really helps remove that anxiety of things just not being ‘perfect enough’ and I’m far more happier with my collections these days. As I’m painting for me and not for what everyone else expects to see. 😍👍
Another excellent video. Got a load of terrain that needs painting (all primed black at the moment). Now time to go back and catch up on painting trim 👍👍👍
I cant remember where it was I first saw the trick of getting a pale unifying colour and drybrushing the entire model but it's insane how well using an ultra pale green somehow manages to highlight everything and not look ridiculous. Great video.
I’ve been painting many years now (decades plural at this point) so am no beginner but what I love about your tutorials like this one is it helps me with the one thing I don’t have a lot of when it comes to painting…time. Your tutorials remind me Peachy that, unless I’m trying to win a painting prize (never plan to enter such a contest), then there is no harm in taking shortcuts like these to get miniatures finished and on the tabletop. So as ever, thank you for doing what you do and inspiring new, and old painters alike. 😊🍑
Time is certainly our most precious resource, and if these tutorials can help shave a bit of that off to get stuff on the tabletop ready for games, I’m all for it. Really pleased you like the vids James, and as always I super appreciate your constant support and comments 😍🙏😍
This is why I joined the patreon, your videos have shown me that its ok to not have golden demon levels of painted armies. After being out of the hobby scene for 25 years and returning due to the kids taking an interest, I've found its way more satisfying to get stuff done to a reasonable standard and enjoy the spectacle of an army on the table. Coupled with the sense of achievement from "completing something" I'm enjoying things more now than I ever did in my youth. I never had a painted army in my entire life until this year 😂 I love all these tips and techniques to just get stuff done and in different settings. Like the burnt building effect translates so well to any universe and I'd never thought about flames travelling upwards till you poined it out 😂 again, cheers Peachy 🍻
Thats brilliant, glad you enjoyed it and as you say, the painting tips Peach demonstrates can be used across a whole range of figures 😀 Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
Peachy, I'm so glad to see your channel doing well and growing. Please, more videos like this. Showing the intricacies, the mistakes, the fixes, the oh-so-peachy-knowledge is great. This video makes me want to get into historicals and specifically Bolt Action. Also, seeing your behind the scenes chats on Juggz is such a treat. Keep up the awesome work.
@@PeachyTips There are! I became familiar with a good portion of the range, as for a while I became a bit of a slap chop addict and they and contrast were the only paints I used. I'm now going back and using them more like you have here; over coloured bases to create different shades and effects like a heavy wash.
@ Mrs Peach, your husband and you included make great videos, great content. I love all the videos you and Mr Peach do, it makes me really happy and it brings joy in my life. All I can say is that I wish you all the best and that you continue to do so. Luv Esh 🍑☺️
Esh I can't say how much those words have touched us! It gives us great pleasure knowing that the videos Peach makes have brought you such joy (Peach is the real talent by the way-I only ensure he has a regular supply of Yorkshire tea and biscuits)! We wish you all the very best too 🤗 Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
@ It’s all team work, no one is left out. It’s only the truth and I’m glad you have taken that onboard. It makes the biggest difference and it wouldn’t be the same that someone brings you tea and biscuits. I wouldn’t be able to do it without a cup of coffee. So you make the biggest difference 🍑💪 Love Esh 😊
Huh. Nice, I was curious so I watched the video. Turns out I do stuff basically the same way, just in slightly different order. I like to drybrish and a few more edge highlits before I do an all around wash. I suppose that could leads to a more smooth paintjob, but with less contrast from afar. Maybe?
I really STILL love your emphasis on AMY painting rather then the 'ohh make it all like box art" crowd. Thats fine too but there are soooo few painters focused on 'get an army done'. Peachy mate, you keep knocking out the park on your topics! ( I play historical I'm in my mid fifties and do historical minis line of battle 18thC style so its a lot of figs usually - try doing that many at "box art lvl" and you'd never finish any project. yes I do go back to units over time and improve them starting with commanders and other stuff [artillery])
I’m just doing what I know best, and those other folks have that corner of RUclips well and truly covered, doubt I could add to that…..but army/soeed painting, that I can waffle on about 😂👍
@@PeachyTips Don't stop I wish you were a resource when i was in my teens mate. back then you leant from library books, magazines, mates, stores and hard yaka (lots of mistakes). Kids these days got it good. "When I was boy, had to walk 20 miles, backwards, up hill...."lol
Bought the Pacific Bolt Action a couple of years ago but it's still in the box. Need to get them made and painted quickly like this as I don't have much time to hobby these days.
I’m the same with the gentleman’s ear set too, really like them all, but the Americans have definitely floated my boat this time. Also if you at a push for time, just spraying the sides different colours is good enough for a lot of folks
Funny you should mention the _Howling Commandos,_ I have a unit of the newish Kommandos in my army with a boy with a brown bowler hat (from the _Orc Heads in Hats_ collection of heads by Kromlech). He's of course named Dum-Dum.
That grey container on the German's belt is a gas mask container. By 1944 it probably wouldn't have a gas mask in it - just used as a general carry all.
The cylindrical case is the gas mask. The pear shaped part you painted brown is the water bottle. It has a black enamelled mug on top. The other part is a mess tin which is sitting over the ration bag. Normally the Germans attached the water bottle over the ration bag but it could be attached elsewhere.
Well done Peach! Thank you. I like you're style...you cover it quickly in the voice over but I don't feel like you skipped anything so that I get the whole process
I usually spray my minis Black, then a light Grey Zenithal. The bits that remain black I don't paint to get a high contrast finish. It's even faster if you don't paint all the mini.
Best advice I could give anyone looking to start painting miniatures. Don’t start with contrast So many people I see when I’m giving painting sessions pull out the contrast apply into the pallette then wipe all of it off the brush like a regular paint
I would for sure, especially for some more variety and colour but this was more a quick guide for those just wanting to get stuff on the table top. Great suggestion though
Haha. Im definitely on the 'zero skill' sode of things because i have so many minis to paint i just slap the base coat on, slap a wash on and move on... (Ok. I lied... Maybe some edge highlights...)
Hey peachy . came by to say that i gerally love your stuff and i know that you need to make living so a sponsored vid here and there with cool models is fine! But i miss Warhammer. id love to see some more warhammery army painting stuff. The Old world is out here and so many cool old models need paintjobs. would really wish for some of those. speedpaint challenges or tales of warlords kind of stuff. Or a unit by unit army projekt
Hey, so I try and mix it up a bit between systems and games, as Im also interested in many things other than just Warhammer and 40k, I do have plans to do more Warhammer themed stuff, but I also aim to do many other things too. What I will say is the tips and techniques are relevant to all miniatures, not just the ones in the vids, so it’s more the techniques being shown rather than the canvas if that makes sense. So do keep an eye out for more stuff down the line…..I’m about to reach 40k subs so it’ll be mad not to do something 40k around that Thanks for reaching out.
Peachy slaps on a bit of paint and the model looks amazing, it's like he's had a lot of practice at this ! So I think Low Consequence practice is underrated, eg I use undercoating to practice airbrushing. A few Cycling examples would be you'd practice avoiding marks on the ground, so you steering motor skills improve for when you really need it ! Looking at other disciplines to learn tricks or methods from them (like Running and Tri for Cycling) I've got lots of Cycling stories, yes my kids take the P, but also get the transferable methods :) Also when are you building the Cromwell Tank Chris ? (tbf I'm on 15-20yrs for my Tamiya T34 kit so... :) )
Really useful comparisons with the cycling analogy, but you right just building those key skills like brush strokes, paint application, priming all add up. And I definitely plan to get them tanks done…..I hear our pain on the T-34 had one years ago…..never built it in the end…..gave it a friend lol
I would greatly suggest, instead of diluded paint overtote, try using Army Painter quick shades, strong tone, soft tone and alike. They go on much better than just a thinned paint and give much better shading effects, real joy to work with.
Great advice, not sure if this is just good general tips, or particularity aimed at the guides in here, but if you notice I do use strong tone at several points for that reason alone. But in short the quick shades are great 😍👍
@PeachyTips I've been usin sift, strong and dark tones for years and they are great, no Citadel wash comes even close 😁 Additionaly, recently bought warpaint fanatic shades pack, really good stuff, blue and purple and red shades are coming real handy, can strongly recommend them too. Writing all this specifically because your video aimed at beginners, and for beginners "basecoat + shades" are working wonders , even more than speedpaints would.
@@PeachyTips I am a Vallejo guy mostly, here in Russia Vallejo paints were available since mid 90s whrb I started my scale modelling hobby. But Army Painter is a great addition to my Vallejo stuff, regular Warpaint Fanatic paints are not that useful, as they are basically the same as Vallejo's Game and Model color, but Speed paints are very different in consistency and application from Xpress Color 😁
So when are we getting a Silver Bayonet/Konflikt 47 crossover mega series? I've heard Rifleman Peach's descendent was one of the original British Commandos.
When you prime your models with green or grey spray paints outside of your house (like in the video), do you end up with a nice primed area of house bricks? And are you ever tempted to dry brush them or apply a wash?🙂
I can confirm that both our (white) front and back door frames sport a lovely dusting of chaos black!!! I'd spent an hour trying to scrub the 'dirt' off them before clocking on to the fact Peach had been spraying near them!!!!!! 😡 Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
After finding out about family from my fathers side which came out of the blue I’m conflicted about which side I’d use if I played this game Scottish grandpa and English grandma no longer with use an German grandad long pasted never knew who was in the Wehrmacht force. 😂
Another corker. Steve Rogers? Oh now you’ve done it, now my imagination is going into overdrive. I’ve not jumped jnto Bolt Action as yet….but now… ah, another range of models I might just have to get.
Red skull... easy conversion.. just cut Hugo weavings head off , paint it red and stick it on a new death corps of krieg officer model.. might look a bit like a bobble head and certainly a limited edition,but these are frenchy's tips 🥖!
I have indeed heard of Bushi do, been looking at test of honour at the moment. For the Genestealer cult stuff, I guess it’s down to what you want in your forces, personally I love neophytes, and acolytes with a bunch of vehicles like the Atalan Jackals, ridgerunners etc. I try and keep my GSC troops regimented but I like to have my vehicles look a bit ad hoc. Do you have any specific questions at all?
@ yes please. I’ve got two questions . I’ve no idea how to use the cult as I may Necron player and my normal strategy is brute force and ignorance . And the second is more around the painting I’m planning on doing a cult using cadian colours military green armour and khaki clothing but I’m having trouble with Genestealer body parts the purple skin and blue armour the colours just look flat and dark . I like the sinister nature of them and their background story could be almost anything .
Just encountered a little bit of an issue when using the voice function in my remote to find your channel, it misheard me by 1 letter, t instead of p. Bit embarrassing.
Its super lovely of you to call him a talent Kris, GW have a lot of talented folks that do and have worked there! Forming his own channel has been challenging but it's given him the opportunity to discover and explore a whole plethora of non-gw games systems and models and also to rediscover his love of all things warhammer too! 😊 Hope you had a super Xmas and have a lovely new year!

Mrs Peach's husband comes through with another great guide for beginners and strangers to a genre, wonderful work!
Aww cheers bud 😍😍😍😍😍
Painted up an IJA army recently and followed a similar speedpainting structure but with one difference in order. Since their uniform base is more khaki, I sprayed them with Desert Yellow and dry brushed them all with ivory. Then I painted the rest of the elements with contrast paints. The ivory worked as a highlight on the khaki uniform but also acted as a highlight ala slapchop for all the contrast layers that went on top. Fastest army I've ever painted.

Oh awesome! Love hearing these success stories, and I’ve found some of these quick guides I actually love the army even more

Mix in a little pure white paint or ink and it'll also counterbalance the tendency to turn yellow too.
Ohhh they look good.
Temptation to watch band of brothers intensifies.
Rewatch surely
This is great - and makes snow basing super achievable!

The cylindrical case is the gas mask. The pear shaped part you painted brown is the water bottle. It has a black enamelled mug on top. The other part is a mess tin which is sitting over the ration bag. Normally the Germans attached the water bottle over the ration bag but it could be attached elsewhere.
@@samb2052brilliant, I did think it had a mess tin look about it. Cheers 😍😍😍
German grey from Tamiya is the colour for field grey as an option
Smashing! Thanks for the suggestion 😍👍
Well done Peach! Thank you. I like you're style...you cover it quickly in the voice over but I don't feel like you skipped anything so that I get the whole process
We're glad you found the video useful David, enjoy getting those minis painted up!
Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
Nice one, very useful!
Cheers Scott 👍
I usually spray my minis Black, then a light Grey Zenithal. The bits that remain black I don't paint to get a high contrast finish.
It's even faster if you don't paint all the mini.
Very smart! I mostly ignore boots and belts so this is possibly perfect.
Best advice I could give anyone looking to start painting miniatures. Don’t start with contrast
So many people I see when I’m giving painting sessions pull out the contrast apply into the pallette then wipe all of it off the brush like a regular paint
This is very true, it always annoyed me when GW pitched as the painting solution for beginners…..lies, deception….more lies!
@ ngl mate that issue in itself is worth a video form you
Great video, Peachy.
If you do some Wolfenstein themed stuff would love to see a model with the old gatling gun from the original.
Oh yeah…..am I right in remembering the Germans just randomly shouting HOTDOG!!!
@@PeachyTips That's what I heard and I'm sticking to it. It was a lot of, 'Hot Dog!', 'Mein Laben!'.
Very helpful! -thanks
😍👍 cheers
This is brilliant!
Mega!!! I’m pleased 😍🙏😍
Grey pebbles in grey masonry? Have you considered adding a few bluish-grey, beige, and reddish sandstone pebbles to just liven up the large walls?
I would for sure, especially for some more variety and colour but this was more a quick guide for those just wanting to get stuff on the table top. Great suggestion though
Awesome ☺☺
👍great vid.
Great video, still playing around trying to get a green I like for my US Airborne helmets, I’ll have to try these!
Sometimes close enough is better than nothing I’ve found 😍🙏😍
@ amen bruv 🙏❤️
Another great video!
Please do some army painting tips for middle earth! 😊
Well it is on my list, and as soon as I can get some of the war of the rohirrim stuff, I’d like to do a video about spear painting Rohan and orcs
@PeachyTips Ah excellent I cannot wait! Middle earth Is a great system!
Great video and good instruction!
Thank you! I’m pleased you liked it 😍👍
Haha. Im definitely on the 'zero skill' sode of things because i have so many minis to paint i just slap the base coat on, slap a wash on and move on... (Ok. I lied... Maybe some edge highlights...)
Cloaks are my nemesis lol going to get plenty of practice on the new dark angels battle box 😂cheers hope theirs more sharp in the pipeline.
Where's private Peach? We need one of his family line in every genre! Like Blackadder but with a rifle
I’m sure that can be arranged 😂👍
Hey peachy . came by to say that i gerally love your stuff and i know that you need to make living so a sponsored vid here and there with cool models is fine! But i miss Warhammer. id love to see some more warhammery army painting stuff. The Old world is out here and so many cool old models need paintjobs. would really wish for some of those. speedpaint challenges or tales of warlords kind of stuff. Or a unit by unit army projekt
Hey, so I try and mix it up a bit between systems and games, as Im also interested in many things other than just Warhammer and 40k, I do have plans to do more Warhammer themed stuff, but I also aim to do many other things too. What I will say is the tips and techniques are relevant to all miniatures, not just the ones in the vids, so it’s more the techniques being shown rather than the canvas if that makes sense.
So do keep an eye out for more stuff down the line…..I’m about to reach 40k subs so it’ll be mad not to do something 40k around that
Thanks for reaching out.
Loved the vid 🔥👍❤️
Mate, I'd be well happy with the Zero option
😍👍 perfect! Tbh if you have a whole collection like that it’ll look mega on the tabletop
Peachy slaps on a bit of paint and the model looks amazing, it's like he's had a lot of practice at this !
So I think Low Consequence practice is underrated, eg I use undercoating to practice airbrushing.
A few Cycling examples would be you'd practice avoiding marks on the ground, so you steering motor skills improve for when you really need it !
Looking at other disciplines to learn tricks or methods from them (like Running and Tri for Cycling)
I've got lots of Cycling stories, yes my kids take the P, but also get the transferable methods :)
Also when are you building the Cromwell Tank Chris ? (tbf I'm on 15-20yrs for my Tamiya T34 kit so... :) )
Really useful comparisons with the cycling analogy, but you right just building those key skills like brush strokes, paint application, priming all add up.
And I definitely plan to get them tanks done…..I hear our pain on the T-34 had one years ago…..never built it in the end…..gave it a friend lol
I would greatly suggest, instead of diluded paint overtote, try using Army Painter quick shades, strong tone, soft tone and alike. They go on much better than just a thinned paint and give much better shading effects, real joy to work with.
Great advice, not sure if this is just good general tips, or particularity aimed at the guides in here, but if you notice I do use strong tone at several points for that reason alone.
But in short the quick shades are great
😍👍
@PeachyTips I've been usin sift, strong and dark tones for years and they are great, no Citadel wash comes even close 😁 Additionaly, recently bought warpaint fanatic shades pack, really good stuff, blue and purple and red shades are coming real handy, can strongly recommend them too.
Writing all this specifically because your video aimed at beginners, and for beginners "basecoat + shades" are working wonders , even more than speedpaints would.
@@FreelancerNDbeen a big convert of the army painter fanatic stuff, and the amount of choice in those shades is great too.
Cheers for the comment 😍😍😍
@@PeachyTips I am a Vallejo guy mostly, here in Russia Vallejo paints were available since mid 90s whrb I started my scale modelling hobby. But Army Painter is a great addition to my Vallejo stuff, regular Warpaint Fanatic paints are not that useful, as they are basically the same as Vallejo's Game and Model color, but Speed paints are very different in consistency and application from Xpress Color 😁
I liked the video (and I miss Dust 1947!)
I miss dust too 🫶😔
Long live Dust 1947!
So when are we getting a Silver Bayonet/Konflikt 47 crossover mega series? I've heard Rifleman Peach's descendent was one of the original British Commandos.
Keep your eyes peeled...Peach has something planned for 2025 👀
Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
Ironically, Army Painter had both a Field Grey and German Field Grey in the original Warpaints range.
Well here’s hoping we get some fanatic versions…..as I really love how these paint
Nice vid, I think you have a typo in the Wargames Atlantic Link, should have a '/' before the '?'. Cheers!
Cheers bud, I’ll give it a look 😍👍
Annoyingly that was the link I got sent from them, but I’ve added the change to see if that works.
Cheers
When you prime your models with green or grey spray paints outside of your house (like in the video), do you end up with a nice primed area of house bricks? And are you ever tempted to dry brush them or apply a wash?🙂
Hahaha! Not yet, but I’m sure if mrs peach see this she’ll have a different opinion 👀😂
I can confirm that both our (white) front and back door frames sport a lovely dusting of chaos black!!! I'd spent an hour trying to scrub the 'dirt' off them before clocking on to the fact Peach had been spraying near them!!!!!! 😡
Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
@@PeachyTips 😂😂 (my wife would kill me if I'd gotten primer on the doors)
Peach likes to live dangerously (and now sleeps with one eye open)... 😆

Why not give the some division patches?❤
Ha! I wanted to, but couldn’t find my decals…..however I discovered them last night so that’ll happen soon enough 🙏
After finding out about family from my fathers side which came out of the blue I’m conflicted about which side I’d use if I played this game Scottish grandpa and English grandma no longer with use an German grandad long pasted never knew who was in the Wehrmacht force.
😂
What about build both…..then the confliction is fixed right? Or close as lol
Another corker. Steve Rogers? Oh now you’ve done it, now my imagination is going into overdrive. I’ve not jumped jnto Bolt Action as yet….but now… ah, another range of models I might just have to get.
Next on the cards are the other howling commandos and maybe captain/agent Carter
Red skull... easy conversion.. just cut Hugo weavings head off , paint it red and stick it on a new death corps of krieg officer model.. might look a bit like a bobble head and certainly a limited edition,but these are frenchy's tips 🥖!
😂😂😂
And great tips they are

Any advice starting Genestealer cult ?
And have you heard of a game called bushido ?
I have indeed heard of Bushi do, been looking at test of honour at the moment.
For the Genestealer cult stuff, I guess it’s down to what you want in your forces, personally I love neophytes, and acolytes with a bunch of vehicles like the Atalan Jackals, ridgerunners etc. I try and keep my GSC troops regimented but I like to have my vehicles look a bit ad hoc.
Do you have any specific questions at all?
@ yes please. I’ve got two questions .
I’ve no idea how to use the cult as I may Necron player and my normal strategy is brute force and ignorance .
And the second is more around the painting I’m planning on doing a cult using cadian colours military green armour and khaki clothing but I’m having trouble with Genestealer body parts the purple skin and blue armour the colours just look flat and dark .
I like the sinister nature of them and their background story could be almost anything .
Just encountered a little bit of an issue when using the voice function in my remote to find your channel, it misheard me by 1 letter, t instead of p. Bit embarrassing.
Hahaha! Tbh I’ve been close to making that mistake many times, or I’ve put the s in tips after peach instead 👀😂
step one: see Peachy Video
Step 2: click like
Step 3: ?????
step4: Somehow i'm amazing painter now?
😂😂😂 we’ll if it works 😂👍
Cheers you magnificent bastard 😍🙏😍
Show me your war face!
Did GW lose ANOTHER talent?
Its super lovely of you to call him a talent Kris, GW have a lot of talented folks that do and have worked there! Forming his own channel has been challenging but it's given him the opportunity to discover and explore a whole plethora of non-gw games systems and models and also to rediscover his love of all things warhammer too! 😊
Hope you had a super Xmas and have a lovely new year!
Luv Mrs Peach 🍑
@PeachyTips I hope he's very happy now!
