I’ve got to say, it’s so nice to listen to former GW employees shoot the s**t without resorting to massive negativity and dog kicking. There’s been so much negativity on RUclips of if late it’s diminished lots of my hobby joy, but this kinds of stuff is quickly restoring it
Peachy's "For a plant to grow it has to be repotted" really spoke to me. Earlier this year I had to leave my old job and switch careers for mental health reasons, and I've been umming and arring about whether it was the right thing to do ever since, but hearing Peachy say this really helped sum it up for me. Thanks guys 👍
It’s such a scary thing to do, leave what feels like a safe and secure job, but no jobs really secure. And I though it may not feel it to start with the brave move will pay off. Especially for your mental well being. And bloody good for you AJ, I hope for nothing but positive things - Peachy
Yeah good luck AJ and for being brave and changing jobs! I’ve been in the same job for 23yrs and I’m too scared, to try something different.. a huge lack of confidence, has always been my bugbear.. 😞
I'm about to leave my job of 19 years too, it's terrifying and also sad as I've worked with the same person for all that time. If it helps there's a small self-help book called 'Who Moved My Cheese?' It's short, takes about 45 mins to read, broadly about change and American so some of it is a bit OTT, but I've had it for years. I reread it the other week as my leaving date approaches and it's definitely helped me come to terms with my decision and the new opportunities that will be open to me.
I originally didn't click with Peachy when he first appeared on the Warhammer TV painting guides, I must have had some daft notion that he was userping Duncan somehow. I saw the odd painting livestream on on WHTV and got a better idea of who he was. Now it's interesting to see Peachy without the GW filter and it's fascinating to hear this man explain how things were behind the scenes without the whole thing feeling sordid. It is a shame to see people like Peachy and Duncan leave GW but it is great to see these genuinely likeable people reaching success on their own merits. I will have to keep an eye on this channel, it's amazing, though the deep dive into pegging nearly killed me with laughter. Good job and see you in the next vid.
Thanks Tremadog, honestly when I first started in WHTV I felt the same like I was hanging on Duncs coattails and weirdly was asked to follow his style. So I completely agree and understand the fact folks didn’t quite gel with me. But glad I’ve had a chance to go my own way and be well ‘me’. Thanks for the kind words and I hope you enjoy our content 👍 - peachy
@@thepaintingphase It took me a while to put my finger on it, but that's my problem with the new group they've got. It feels like they're trying to do Peachy impressions instead of painting tutorials. Hopefully they all get to find their own voices soon!
@@DanielJohnson120 too many of the current lot are trying a bit too hard and need to be more themselves, also better scripting as there is a lot of "I paint this colour... now I paint this colour... then I paint this colour"
Same, i never liked him much on games workshop channel but seeing him here is like watching a completely different person and i like it much much better
It's baffling to me how GW has managed to let such great talent go. First Duncan and now you guys - the level of enthusiasm and passion and success that ex-emplyees have generated is amazing. GW should have been throwing as much money as they could to keep people like you on their team! Excited to see what comes next for you guys , love the show [:
I'm not saying it is the right decision, I really don't like it, but GW have been consistent at making sure GW is seen as GW/Warhammer/40k rather than personalities. Be they game designers, writers, mini-painters, artists, executives or presenters. Obviously a choice by the company and arguably it does, and as worked, for them. Hopefully one day they embrace the personalities more (many are so well spoken, cultured and interesting, passionate people), but probably unlikely.
Most companies are run that way nowadays. “Rule 1 everyone is replaceable”. And it is a self fulfilling stance also. They don’t care that employe X is 20% better, because to acknowledge that would break the rule and leave the company in a worse spot in their opinion. And it also means they don’t want people to stay around for too long. Because they don’t want a company full of people quitting around the same time.
For a creative company it's quite good to bring in new blood, with new folk generally comes new ideas, skills and drive. Most of those who leave go on to success in other projects that ignites their creativity and drive.
The company has changed a lot. I left after 16 years in the studio for many reasons but it just wasn’t what it was. I’ve got lots of lovely memories from the great people and products for sure but also lots of sad ones from the poor management practices. You’ll hear a lot of negativity from ex employees because of this so it’s nice to hear some great stories for a change.
Been watching through the videos on my nightly painting session and love these chats. Reminds me a bit of sitting around the painting table in a GW while cracking on with some painting....minus the pegging conversation lol. great work, keep it up guys!
i think you hit the nail on the head when you were talking about other you tube channel. bigger isn't always better but i believe the algorithm forces them to do those type of videos.
I love these interview/podcast style videos. I will probably never meet you guy's in my life, because I live over in America. But the way that you open up about your journey in the hobby really makes me connected to you as people & gives me mad respect for you all. I feel like we are friends, even though I know we aren't. I just see some of myself in some of the stories & examples ya'll give. So thank you for the wisdom that you share.
Thanks so much Stuart, such a lovely comment. Our aim is have as little barrier between us and the viewer, so I’m glad that seems to be working. As for meeting never say never, if this continues to go this good, we hope to get to some American conventions.
This channel more and more is feeling like the most real, fun and laid back setup of people with passion and a real want to help people to just have fun with there hobby and the way you even explain the journey you want to take I think generates excitement with us the viewers as well as yourselves. Wishing you all the best with the channel because it feels like its going to hit so many areas that are missed......cannot wait to see how things go and what other things you work on......and also yeah....keep doing these chat shows.....they are really awesome!!! And hearing Peachy talk about just being able to put food on the table and pay the bills but be able to love what your doing.....I think your hitting such a note with people there....definitely with me....I couldnt agree with you more!! And the difference between you on here to WHTV....you seem genuinely happy and excited here so really hope it continues to grow
Hey Kyle, firstly thank you for such a lovely message, It boosts our morale and spirit to see good folks like yourself not only understanding what we’re about but excited like the rest of us for the future. Honestly we can’t thank you enough for the support and encouragement you and the community bring to the channel. And do t you worry the chat shows are definitely a permanent feature. Much love - peachy
@@thepaintingphase your a breath of fresh air to the content creating community and its great to see the passion come through, so thank you to all of you = - so glad there permanent they are a great feature 🙂🙂
Thank you for the genuine bonhomie, gentlemen. I didn't know about TPP before Peachy signed up, and it's been a welcome antidote to so much. Looking forward to what's next!
When Peachy hinted about his thoughts on the old world blowing up, it made me think. You could do a good chat style show about big releases/events in GWs history, with some stories about behind the scenes development of the product as well as some light hearted stories from the time. That way you could bring on other guests like Duncan, and other people previously involved with the company: Rick Priestley, Andy Chambers etc
Regarding these talkshows and why they work, I personally find them amazing as background noise while painting. It's basically a podcast where I can sometimes look up - somehow helps me keep focused while painting. Overall very entertaining! I'm looking forward to future videos. Maybe consider doing a live version somehow? It's harder to stick to a script but it could encourage more engagement from viewers.
Loving all the videos guys, so nice to hear just honest opinions that aren't trying to throw dirt or put people on pedestals. Can't wait for what you guys have planed!
Great video, amazing chemistry between the two of you and it's a real joy to listen to the excitement you both have for what you do. Please keep up the good work!
Hey Peachy, these discussions are absolutely aces and really great to listen to. It's really great to see how well your transition out of GW has gone. Thank you for the many years of help with the hobby. Wishing you all the best and hoping for many great years to come.
@@thepaintingphase genius. This hobby is so vast and you guys have a genuine love and it comes across. Thanks for the content. Airbrushes, oils, enamels, 3d printing so many options!
I worked for GW as a sales assistant for 5 years and hands down the best job I've ever had. I only left due to personal reasons, nothing to do with the company itself. I agree that there are moments where you think ''what the fuck'' but peachy is right the fact it's 9/10 times its just people being people. As a female in the industry and hobby GW looked after me greatly.
I'm currently just returning to the hobby after a long time. Starting to paint again and play miniature boardgames. I have just discovered the channel and I am loving it. Keep up the great content.
@@thepaintingphase Funny that as I have been into the Wolves since the very first metal box sets came out, (yes, I'm that old), Dan Abbnet signed one of his books for me and put "To Russ (the Great Leman)" love the man it made my day many moons ago.
This is a good discussion without the negativity. I ended up in a similar situation in regard to freelance work and so I eventually started working in the NHS. Initially as admin clerk, then moved to the education dept doing more creative work.
Really enjoying what you guys have been doing. Love the chats and the painting videos. I find other channels are really rigid overly scripted but you guys seem to be having fun (as well as teaching) which is infectious. Keep up the great work
I’m so glad this channel is a thing. I ignored it when I first seen it as I thought it was just another Duncan style channel but this is top class entertainment 😅keep up the good work lads
I personally like the fact there’s Ex-GW employees like Peachy, Pat and Duncan who have went on to diversify their portfolio with different miniatures… but by far my favourite thing is that they INTERACT with their communities. GW still having comments disabled on RUclips is just daft because interaction is what makes people grow and up skill, but also allows people to see they aren’t alone with the things they struggle with for example coming up with “unique” colour schemes, armies, background lore or even just asking for clarity on a technique. I love Warhammer but I also love seeing stuff that isn’t just Warhammer. I have a list of things GW does that I don’t like (don’t we all) but I’ll save it for another day/if ever but it never really detracts from my love of Warhammer.
Honestly interacting with the community is our bread and butter, like you said, helps us to grow, see the difficulties others maybe having with there hobby, and just to have a good natter about the stuff we love. I’m super pleased our content is a draw for you and I hope we can keep you excited and engaged. Much love Peachy
"GW still having comments disabled on RUclips is just daft because interaction is what makes people grow and up skill," Take a look at the rabid anti-GW comments on any "clickbait" video here on RUclips, or at the comments section on any Warhammer Official post on Instagram. There's a good reason their RUclips comments are disabled - they'd probably have to hire someone full time just to moderate all the negativity. And at that point, GW would get just as much flack if they deleted the negative/awful comments as they would if they left them all in place. Turning comments off altogether is probably the least volatile option they could have chosen.
Another great conversation! I agree with the aspect of storytelling; there are a number of painting and battle report channels I watch, but I always love when those creators take a jaunt into talking about themselves or their own hobby journey. That’s one thing I really love about your channel, the “personal interest” was there from the beginning, so developing a connection was easy and immediate.
Finally got some free time to sit down and enjoy this with a large salted caramel latte!! This will definitely be the highlight of my morning!! Loving this lads!! 👍😘
I really enjoy listening and watching this channel and looking forward to more from this channel in future. Also want to say I’m inspired to do Custodes and watching Peachies paint is so well put across and other painting vids that’s done looking forward to putting different techniques together with my painting!
Hey Chris, glad we’ve inspired you to have a crack at the custodes, and we hope our other vids help bring something to your painting journey. Much love bud
My big advice is to do these informal sit downs etc but also do an hour long live stream so you can interact with the fans! Warhammer channels that have community interaction like that seem to grow the quickest
I REALLY! Hate how u 2 are so positive and confident in thinking ur doing the right thing When in reality......Ur doing alot better lol u guys are true inspiration for me im all tge way in brothers. Haters gonna Hate I never understood why anyone would hate another's dreams or work? Confusing world full of ......
I always enjoyed Peachys painting Videos on WHTV and i was honestly really sad he wasn't there anymore. And with great luck i found him here while scrolling through RUclips. Glad to see him again. Always loved his painting style.
Just discovered you guys this morning, been really enjoying the talk showey podcast style format from two former GW guys. I did not realise Peachy had left GW, I am glad to see that he is doing well. Will keep my eyes peeled for what you have coming up.
Thanks Ben, I left at the start of September and joined up with Pat on his channel, and we’re both loving it. Glad your enjoying the chats too - peachy
Great talk guys! This is fast becoming my favourite hobby channel. It's great to see Peachy outside the GW umbrella and those other chaps seem alright too! 🤣
It's interesting you mentioned engaging with people on discord. I've supported some hobby creators in the past who tout their discord as a patreon benefit but who never (or very rarely) interact with the community there. It has happened often enough that these days I'm a bit hesitant to buy into patreons since I now think of "get access to our awesome discord!" as a bit of a vapour-benefit. Anyway, I really love the format and content of your videos and these chats are great also. Thanks guys.
I thoroughly enjoy the level of painting, there are always useful tips and having a follow up extra details makes all the difference. A lot of channels set the bar too high and average folks won't have the muscle memory or practice to be good at high end techniques. I enjoyed my time at GW, it only went bad because of personnel changes which led to conflicts of interests. Everything changes eventually
A lot of the later discussion resonated with me, especially in regards to telling a story and whatnot. Videos about techniques are great, but what’s been keeping me engaged lately are creators like Studson Studios, Mechanical Fiend, Boylei Hobby Time, etc. it’s easy to put on a 30 minute video from Studson and suddenly realize that I never even touched my paintbrushes because I’ve been riveted to whatever he’s building this week.
Don't talk down your star wars videos so much, I'm loving watching these chat videos while I paint. I watched this one while painting the clones that your clone tutorial convinced me to buy! and now I've signed up to your patreon too!
Love this channel. Great chat. Older experienced painter but always ready to look at all types of painting. I’m currently building a British napoleonic army and would love to see peachy speed paint some troops 🧐👍
This is becoming a weekly treat to listen to! Would love an episode just rambling about the nerdy hobby stuff you love - armies, paint silly lore bits etc.
Great chat, fellas, really enjoyed this vid. Nererata's saddle! Crikey. Very interesting to hear about experiences behind the scenes at GW / Warhammer+
Always enjoyed the fun and enthusiasm Peachey brought to GW content, so it's great to see him continue to present and share his vast knowledge of the hobby. Glad I found your guys channel in this content ocean we call RUclips, keep up the great work 👍. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one that got caught out with the current day meaning for pegging 😅, apparently pinning school bags to the ground with a tent peg back in the day isn't the same as what it is today 🤣.
I'm painting quite happily sat listening to this, getting fairly good results, enjoying myself. Content. Happy. Love the insights into the company that produce the models we love..... until the pegging section.. laughed till my face hurt, you need to do a how to strip paint off minis now cause this one's gone a bit wrong now lol 😆
My first minis were metal dark eldar, also lost to time but u have almost picked up at least one of every sculpt of the metal minis to recreate my army :)
Really interesting chat. Like many have said, it is nice to see people being more positive about the future with reflection on good thing in the past as well as a balance view of things that they didn't agree with. GW are a big business so some decisions will be wrong or less caring etc.
Another fantastic discussion from this channel, really love getting the deep dive and balanced view insights from your professional and personal opinions. Great also to get to learn more about you guys and can't wait to see what's next!! :)
No hate here guys discovering this channel has been the highlight of the year after learning from Pman for all those years! Regardless of what he preached on GW tutorials I never painted to that standard lol so it's great to see its acceptable to paint and make those mistakes sometimes
Great and insightful video. Interesting point about Sqidmar. I'm one of those people who unsubscribed to his channel for the very reason mentioned in this video, just lost me in the pivot to the big epic projects he focuses on now. But its great that channels like Squidmar exist along with channels that focus on the more day to day hobby techniques like The Painting Phase. Great to have a wide choice of hobby videos out there.
Absolutely loved this video, the painting is great but I think I luke this more just great to listen to and the banter is top notch! I would love for you to have a chat about what your favourite factions and GW Games , and Lore from Fantasy, 40k and AOS maybe go into history did Peachy like the change from Fantasy to AOS. I know he has spoken a bit about what got him into Wargaming , but I'd love to hear more about what Models , Armies and Lore etc he enjoys most. More the models and history of the army's he loves would be interesting. Cheers ! Keep up the brilliant work!

GW still having comments disabled on RUclips is just daft because interaction is what makes people grow and up skill, but also allows people to see they aren’t alone with the things they struggle with for example coming up with “unique” colour schemes, armies, background lore or even just asking for clarity on a technique. I love Warhammer but I also love seeing stuff that isn’t just Warhammer. I have a list of things GW does that I don’t like (don’t we all) but I’ll save it for another day/if ever but it never really detracts from my love of Warhammer.
Honestly interacting with the community is our bread and butter, like you said, helps us to grow, see the difficulties others maybe having with there hobby, and just to have a good natter about the stuff we love.
I’m super pleased our content is a draw for you and I hope we can keep you excited and engaged.
Much love Peachy

"GW still having comments disabled on RUclips is just daft because interaction is what makes people grow and up skill,"
Take a look at the rabid anti-GW comments on any "clickbait" video here on RUclips, or at the comments section on any Warhammer Official post on Instagram. There's a good reason their RUclips comments are disabled - they'd probably have to hire someone full time just to moderate all the negativity. And at that point, GW would get just as much flack if they deleted the negative/awful comments as they would if they left them all in place. Turning comments off altogether is probably the least volatile option they could have chosen.
Another great conversation! I agree with the aspect of storytelling; there are a number of painting and battle report channels I watch, but I always love when those creators take a jaunt into talking about themselves or their own hobby journey. That’s one thing I really love about your channel, the “personal interest” was there from the beginning, so developing a connection was easy and immediate.
Finally got some free time to sit down and enjoy this with a large salted caramel latte!!
This will definitely be the highlight of my morning!! Loving this lads!! 👍😘
Nice one Wayne and a salted caramel latte, you’ve great taste.
It is rare to meet someone who hasn't been ruined by the all pervs on the internet, but it is always funny, thank you Peachy 😅
I really enjoy listening and watching this channel and looking forward to more from this channel in future.
Also want to say I’m inspired to do Custodes and watching Peachies paint is so well put across and other painting vids that’s done looking forward to putting different techniques together with my painting!
Hey Chris, glad we’ve inspired you to have a crack at the custodes, and we hope our other vids help bring something to your painting journey. Much love bud
My big advice is to do these informal sit downs etc but also do an hour long live stream so you can interact with the fans! Warhammer channels that have community interaction like that seem to grow the quickest
It’s definitely on the radar for the not too distant future.
Quickly becoming my favorite YT channel. You guys are awesome
Thanks man too kind.
Love the videos Peachy. Definitely life after Games Workshop.
😍👍 yep very much so.
I REALLY!
Hate how u 2 are so positive and confident in thinking ur doing the right thing When in reality......Ur doing alot better lol u guys are true inspiration for me im all tge way in brothers.
Haters gonna Hate I never understood why anyone would hate another's dreams or work?
Confusing world full of ......
Thanks! That's much appreciated 👍 haters indeed hate, nothing we can do about it so we'll crack on regardless.
I always enjoyed Peachys painting Videos on WHTV and i was honestly really sad he wasn't there anymore. And with great luck i found him here while scrolling through RUclips. Glad to see him again. Always loved his painting style.
Great stuff! Looking forward to the "how to match contrast paints" and the next talk show videos!
Just discovered you guys this morning, been really enjoying the talk showey podcast style format from two former GW guys. I did not realise Peachy had left GW, I am glad to see that he is doing well. Will keep my eyes peeled for what you have coming up.
Thanks Ben, I left at the start of September and joined up with Pat on his channel, and we’re both loving it.
Glad your enjoying the chats too - peachy
I wasn’t prepared for the pegging towards the end of the video 😂😂😂
No one was!
Great video, as always! Really enjoying these chats.
Great content Guys absolute pleasure to watch very refreshing keep up the great work
😍👍 thanks Adam.
Great talk guys! This is fast becoming my favourite hobby channel. It's great to see Peachy outside the GW umbrella and those other chaps seem alright too! 🤣
Why thank you - Geoff
Enjoying the videos gents. Keep up the good work.
Great video guys!
It's interesting you mentioned engaging with people on discord. I've supported some hobby creators in the past who tout their discord as a patreon benefit but who never (or very rarely) interact with the community there. It has happened often enough that these days I'm a bit hesitant to buy into patreons since I now think of "get access to our awesome discord!" as a bit of a vapour-benefit. Anyway, I really love the format and content of your videos and these chats are great also. Thanks guys.
I thoroughly enjoy the level of painting, there are always useful tips and having a follow up extra details makes all the difference. A lot of channels set the bar too high and average folks won't have the muscle memory or practice to be good at high end techniques.
I enjoyed my time at GW, it only went bad because of personnel changes which led to conflicts of interests. Everything changes eventually
Cheers Martini, I love watching the experts but I often feel more intimidated than inspired. Sorry GW didn’t work out.
What a great trio.
A lot of the later discussion resonated with me, especially in regards to telling a story and whatnot. Videos about techniques are great, but what’s been keeping me engaged lately are creators like Studson Studios, Mechanical Fiend, Boylei Hobby Time, etc. it’s easy to put on a 30 minute video from Studson and suddenly realize that I never even touched my paintbrushes because I’ve been riveted to whatever he’s building this week.
Love these chats chaps, always interesting.
Great video. Good to hear some banter that wasn't completely negative.
We’re not out to be an unnecessary negative bunch, there’s just no point.
@@thepaintingphase Yep. Life is too short!
Don't talk down your star wars videos so much, I'm loving watching these chat videos while I paint. I watched this one while painting the clones that your clone tutorial convinced me to buy! and now I've signed up to your patreon too!
😍😍😍 aww thanks Elliot on all accounts, super appreciate your words and support - Peachy
Love this channel. Great chat. Older experienced painter but always ready to look at all types of painting. I’m currently building a British napoleonic army and would love to see peachy speed paint some troops 🧐👍
🫡🫡🫡
It's great to see Peachy out in the wild.
This is becoming a weekly treat to listen to! Would love an episode just rambling about the nerdy hobby stuff you love - armies, paint silly lore bits etc.
Yep, We think that can be arranged
Really enjoy these videos and totally agree with Peachey about painting with children & partners :D
Enjoying this channel.
🤘🤘🤘
Great chat, fellas, really enjoyed this vid. Nererata's saddle! Crikey. Very interesting to hear about experiences behind the scenes at GW / Warhammer+
A fellow Cumbrian 😊🎉 great show
Always enjoyed the fun and enthusiasm Peachey brought to GW content, so it's great to see him continue to present and share his vast knowledge of the hobby.
Glad I found your guys channel in this content ocean we call RUclips, keep up the great work 👍.
Also I'm glad I'm not the only one that got caught out with the current day meaning for pegging 😅, apparently pinning school bags to the ground with a tent peg back in the day isn't the same as what it is today 🤣.
😂😂😂 such wholesome games destroyers by the next generations dictionary lol
It is nice to see Peachy's talent's not constrained to one product line. I look forward to more videos. Keep up the good work.
You had me at Shank!
Gentlemen really enjoying the content. First time listener/ Viewer. Looking forward to your future projects
Welcom welcome and thrice welcome!!!
I'm painting quite happily sat listening to this, getting fairly good results, enjoying myself. Content. Happy. Love the insights into the company that produce the models we love..... until the pegging section.. laughed till my face hurt, you need to do a how to strip paint off minis now cause this one's gone a bit wrong now lol 😆
Hahaha! We’re all terribly sorry lol
Free copy of the Magna Carta! That killed me! :)
I thank you.
This is great to watch
Cheers Stormingmonkey!
My first minis were metal dark eldar, also lost to time but u have almost picked up at least one of every sculpt of the metal minis to recreate my army :)
Keep up the awesome work guys! Love the channel and these shows are great!
Really enjoy these talking head sections of this channel. Please keep them around! :D really nice to paint and do other things to :)
100% we will 👍 we enjoy doing them
Oh Peachy, your pegging innocence made me cry TT_TT
With laughter
Hahaha! All true and I’m very much enlightened now 😅🤘
@51:45, Boylei Hobby Time and his Wild Imaginary West. He also does numerous Star Wars dioramas complete with LEDs
Love those videos!
Really interesting chat. Like many have said, it is nice to see people being more positive about the future with reflection on good thing in the past as well as a balance view of things that they didn't agree with. GW are a big business so some decisions will be wrong or less caring etc.
It's really nice to see real conversations, and genuine personalities. Keep up with the joking too!
😍👍👍👍 Cheers Steve
Another fantastic discussion from this channel, really love getting the deep dive and balanced view insights from your professional and personal opinions. Great also to get to learn more about you guys and can't wait to see what's next!! :)
Love this show! So nice to see the humans behind GW stuff talking like humans.
Cheers Frank.
Im really enjoying these videos with discussions its so nice to see you guys having a great time.
Cheers, we are definitely having the best time 👍
No hate here guys discovering this channel has been the highlight of the year after learning from Pman for all those years! Regardless of what he preached on GW tutorials I never painted to that standard lol so it's great to see its acceptable to paint and make those mistakes sometimes
Really liking the talking videos.
Great and insightful video. Interesting point about Sqidmar. I'm one of those people who unsubscribed to his channel for the very reason mentioned in this video, just lost me in the pivot to the big epic projects he focuses on now. But its great that channels like Squidmar exist along with channels that focus on the more day to day hobby techniques like The Painting Phase. Great to have a wide choice of hobby videos out there.
Oh my god, when you took 'that topic' (no spoilers) to the URINAL.... cracking up! I would have been rolling, laughing. 😆 🤣 😂
I’m definitely going to need to use that Jawa joke 🤣🤣 excellent video as always! More Legion content please and Middle-earth SBG too!! 🍂🍃🍂
Don’t encourage them please - Geoff
Absolutely loved this video, the painting is great but I think I luke this more just great to listen to and the banter is top notch! I would love for you to have a chat about what your favourite factions and GW Games , and Lore from Fantasy, 40k and AOS maybe go into history did Peachy like the change from Fantasy to AOS. I know he has spoken a bit about what got him into Wargaming , but I'd love to hear more about what Models , Armies and Lore etc he enjoys most. More the models and history of the army's he loves would be interesting. Cheers ! Keep up the brilliant work!
Thanks so much really appreciated. I think you’re gonna like our next chat episode, I would say.
@@thepaintingphase Looking forward to it 😀
Those tactic video ideas sound great!
Good work fellas!
Really enjoying these videos! Great channel and loving the discussions.
Thanks Jamwa 😍👍
@@thepaintingphase No problem! Keep up the great work!! 😀
