This has quickly became my favorite podcast to listen to.

It's a minor thing, but I love how Geoff sits there building models at the same time 😊

We used to call the old metal crusader Schrödinger's land raider because you would put it in a case and would never know if it would come out assembled or not

Me: "Oh, it's the funny British potty mouths, I can keep them on the stereo, the little one doesn't understand a word they say." Peachy: "...are looking *Kacke*" I now have a *very* excited 4-year-old. Lotsa love from Krautland.

Really loving these chats. I was almost one of the mould making /3D printing guys for GW, but couldn’t do the shift patterns. Every time I talk about how the process is done it has always attracted hate from people who insist GW don’t dish out resin minis to be painted, etc. The more insight and education that can reach the masses about the miniature industry the better.

The big issue with the D&D thing wasn't so much fans not being able to monetise content as easily, but more the part that Wizards/Hasbro wanted to force every single person or company publishing content using the existing agreement (which they had promised was irrevocable) to switch to the new one, which would give Wizards of the Coast "nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable, royalty-free license" to take anything published and reuse it without compensation or acknowledgement.

Darran Latham I feel pushed my painting to a much higher level. I loved his painting videos on KZfaq. Shame he had to take them down because it was alway interesting to see his approach to shading and color usage.

Is it just me or is the audio a bit weird on this one? Quickly becoming one of my favourite podcasts too, keep it up guys!

I believe the original Citadel paints were made for GW by a company called Coat d'Arms. This was when they were in the tall round pots with names like Skull White, Chaos Black, Goblin Green, Bad Moon Yellow etc. After Citadel went with a new manufacturer and changed all the colour names, Coat d'Arms continued making them for their own range and you can still buy them to this day.

One of the great things about The Painting Phase is that you point stuff out and challenge issues in a respectful manner without resorting to some of the methods other creators use

Best miniature painting podcast out there. Great stuff

I love the vibe of Geoff clipping, sanding and assembling. It's very soothing.

Love how Geoff was just here, building a model for fuck all. And it evolved into a 50 minute conversation. Great podcast ya'll. Definitely a fantastic podcast for the hobby.

Really glad that you brought up that some (all?) of the current Citadel paints have changed over the years, I thought I was going mad. Mephiston Red has definitely changed between 2019 and 2022 - the newer pots I've had are considerably brighter than the originals.

Definitely one of my favourite podcasts! The whole dynamic of you guys is great! Really love the knowledge you are sharing! Class entertainers! 🎉

those jumpers look so comfy! another great listen

Love having the insider insight from you lot. Being generally pleasant to have natter on is a bonus! Can't deny I'm getting nervous about my Nuln and Seraphim Sepia running low.

Great conversation guys - really love Geoff's take on how 3D printing could work in a Workshop. 3D printing is still very much a 'rapid prototyping' system, but won't be long til it moves on to a point where it will be entirely possible to mass produce or print on demand like this. Some boutique third party outlets are already doing this. I work in 3D scanning and printing at the moment, and it's got amazing potential in my specialism in museums/archaeology etc, but it's not yet there for hard commercial use.

I had to build and paint the Balrog with the metal wings for the store display, those wings nearly went out the door on several occasions

I adore the fact anyone who lives outside of the UK is going to find this intro nigh impenetrable. That being said everyone should check out that German Ninja Turtle pickle advert.

Ah guys, I love your work! One of the things I'm looking forward to at the beginning of the week! Also - turning on the subtitles is hillarious. At a certain point it just gives up 😀

YES PEACHY. I felt like a crazy person about Rakarth! I used to love it, but my last pot was terrible!

I was told this was a North Sea fishing podcast. While disappointed, I am also pleased.

Easily my favourite podcast - feels like hanging with mates down the pub 👍

Love, these videos, keep up the good work!

Another awesome dive into the behind-scenes of the hobby, 👏.

Thanks for getting me through the first hour and half of a long day of denture making 🍻 Another great chat and banter.

While I think 3D printing is still a long way off from being an everyday thing for most hobbyists, there's still an initial learning curve to overcome but it is becoming just another creative tool rather than the "hobby in it's own right" it was say only 2yrs ago. To the point that I would be very surprised if it wasn't being viewed as an existential threat to GW's current business model. One thing I could potentially see them doing is possibly having ForgeWorld supplementing with or even transition away from cast-resin products to become more of a print-on-demand style service.

Great show gents. Brilliant to listen to while painting.

The old metal Balrog was my first ever kit. The guy at the local GW encouraged me to get it cause it was super powerful. I was 14. So, I built it and just dealt with the gaps everywhere cause I had no green stuff skills! Haha Corax white spray is horrendous in Australia, I think it's something to do with the humidity. The off-whites are also bad, I ended up having to put fishing sinkers in all the pots to constantly shake them like spray paints. Come to think of it, the fishing sinkers suit the theme of this video...

You've commented in the past about how GW have been numpties for not selling specific shoulder pads but also banning third party sellers. They'd be really smart to sell standard marines (for instance) but you could go in & order Blood Angels shoulder pads & heads to convert the standard into the non standard & the staff member would go "Sure thing, do you want to wait in our coffee shop & I'll get right on that for you?"

That's Willrow Hood and the "Running of the Hoods" with regards to the dude in Empire with the Ice Cream maker. (Just in case no-one else has put it in the comments)

These podcasts make the night shift alot more enjoyable amazing work lads

Yess Peachy!! It’s not just me then! I had a pot of Rakarth flesh that was amazing! It covered absolutely beautifully but sadly it ran out so I replaced it and what I got was no where near the same as before. It was completely separated, a different tone of colour and when I used it, it would separate on my palette and on the miniature! I had to repaint the skin on one of my crimson court vampires a completely different skin tone because it was so horrible! So now I have have two vampires with old rakarth flesh skin tone and one with tallarn flesh which Is an old foundation paint as you can literally paint over anything with it 😅

Brilliant as always! These video podcasts have become the highlight of my KZfaq week!

This is 100% the fishermans friends episode, "there once was a vod, called the painting phase, it'll entertain you for many a day... o yey, the painting phase.....etc etc" Another great episode! Finecast... where the Eldar range still lives!!

The best advert ever was for Tennent's Lager in the late 90s/ early 2000s: McAndrews Scottish Bar, Bangkok, with the beautiful barmaids Rab and Rory.

Waited all week for another banging copulation with the lads!

I'm normally paint range-agnostic, if GW makes a good version of a color,I use it. Especially their cold greys (Russ Grey, Dark Reaper, Thunderhawk Blue etc, superb). Rakarth Flesh and Pallid Wych Flesh are so handy, but they have never been any consistency other than mud lol

Loving these podcast, a real look behind the curtain of GW. Watched all of the Peachy ones over the weekend.

Rakarth flesh / Denab stone was amazing when it was foundation paint, not saying they where all great but that one was you haven't known hell until you've had to build multiple dwarf warmachines to put together, that DAKKA axe thrower

I have used two thin coats by Duncan roads and seam to be a better version of citadel paints

In the Action Man scale there are some manufacturers who make short runs of figures complete with all the equipment. Some are based on Movie actors in particular rolls. And some are just big historical models, GW, ACW, Westerns.

Another great chat gents. Lots of interesting topics and insights. I also love the individual takes on things too. My main take from this is how wholesome Peachy's GW store must have been. We would do the same thing with known-lossing faulty or problematic kits for people and I was known to chuck in some free glue and bits when Little Johnny had used all his pocket money on that big tank kit. Happy days.

I adore this format for you guys, this is my favorite thing to listen to each week! I don’t know if it’s possible to submit an idea for a topic for you guys to discuss, but I would love to learn your and Peachy’s take on GW’s IP crack down on KZfaq!

it's army painter tones and shades for me all day long they are fantastic.

Another great podcast. Cuppa tea, biscuits, cutting some spru. Perfect.

I’m loving this type of video! It’s quickly becoming something that I crave more of :) ever thought of releasing it as an actual podcast? :)

Can’t stop listening to these podcasts, these 3 lads together are just brilliant, great job guys

This was a great episode of virtual my weekly local GW visit XD

for resin and metal models, superglue activator changed my life! I use the Bob Smith Industries stuff but you can get aerosol activators from places like screwfix. Also, baking soda (bicarb in the UK) is great as a gap filler on resin when it's mixed with superglue.

Speaking of Darren Latham, I noticed GW seem to have "accidentally" forgotten to put his surname in the article about designing Angron.

Love your guys shows! I usually paint when I listen to podcasts, but whenever I try with you guys I just stop and give my full attention. I've got to say though, the metal Hive Tyrant was the bane of my existence when I was 11. Me and my dad eventually got it to stay together after months of trying. And then the plastic kit came out soon after

Love the chat shows

Great work as always gents! “They don’t like it up em!” ✅😂😂

Games Workshop may seem slow to pick up technology, or at least appear too, but I would stake my right nut on the fact that they have and are investigating how to best use technology to earn the best financial return from it when they eventually do make the leap.

still looking for that R186 SIGNAL BOX, or a book on fly fishing by J.R. HARTLEY

As a touch on the note with Death Guard use of vehicles at 4:00, the Proteus and Phobos (common 40k pattern) patterns of Land Raiders were both used during the Crusade/Heresy, so their use in 40k makes sense. I do like the idea of using the Proteus Land Raiders and Deimos Rhinos with Chaos forces (and loyalist too)

Really enjoy these wide ranging talks. : ) The Stars Wars cosplayers also raised the prices and increased the rarity on C96 "broomhandle" Mausers years ago. Apparently, these guns used to be reasonably priced. But not after Han Solo!

Peachy, you really seem to love LOTR, which is great because so do I :) any chance of some future MESBG miniature painting videos?

Oh, that intro was on point Peachy, that looks a cosy jumper, though

Reminds me of duncans story around the creation of barak nar burgundy. This paint was created off themix he used to paint barak nar kharadron in AoS....and how the colour was totally different to what GW said it was and they eventually created thenew paint from his mix. I hear they also use 3ups in some detail shots.

That 1:6 Cadian was a Kickstarter campaign. It seems like a lot of people got screwed over and didnt get their figures in the end. And those that did said the quality wasn't great.

When Peachy put the sides of the Armoured vehicle on his head i had flashbacks of the “Rylans” from “The Last Star Fighter” 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂

The most terrifying metal kit that a young customer once brought in was Zachariah The Everliving. It was a skinny zombie dragon with a top heavy mount. The ankles were the key contact point and could barely fit a pin. It was hell.

Another great chinwag! Love these vids - they're the perfect accompaniment for when I'm having a bit of supper or even a late night snack with a glass of milk! But I want to take the opportunity too ask, because I'm eagerly awaiting your Necromunda content - are you guys planning to share any videos of how you go about painting your gangs? If not, would you consider it? I'd love to see how you guys go about it, especially Geoff's Delaque as I'm yet to paint mine!

Look up Mike’s Carpets for a great advert, he looked like someone had stuck Rod Stewart on a hot wash... he was actually’Mike’ the MD in the ad.

I built (and still have) the old LR Crusader as a kid and agree with the bolters but it was a real achievement once it was done as a 12 year old. I’ve built a few FW models over the years but the hardest model I came across that taught me pinning etc was the og metal nightbringer

Someone buy Pat a mic stand for the love of god! 😆

Everytime I watch a vid the subs just keep going up 😀😀 you guys deserve it! Topcast

I remember doing some kind of tour of Warhammer World (or possibly at a Games Day) as a kid where they explained some of the process for printing the 'red glass' miniature parts to make the molds, way before consumer-grade 3D printing was possible. It was something involving shining lasers through a liquid which caused it to harden at the points where they intersected. Seemed like magic at the time, too. Interesting to hear that the process seems not to have changed much in what must be towards 20 years.

we know they are 3d printing prototypes. you can see layer lines on studio painted models :) got to be blind to miss those lines on roboute guilliman armour :P

Kinda wished the Spotify version would be up at the same time. Wonderful podcast to listen to.

Peachy I like the jumper ignore the comments glad to see the collar is straight this week. Talking of colours white paint is made of Titanium I stand to be corrected but it is the only way to make white paint. That is the reason that is becomes chalky and splits into lumps in the pot. GW versions seem prone to turning to a cottage cheese or in my recent case just a soild lump at the bottom. Unlike other brands is really does need to be watered down and mixed often. However Corax white does actually cover better than most whites. Often this is a trade off with paint. The best whites tend to be gel based paints. The old paints "Choas Black" where made for GW by a 3rd Part now Coats de Arms". I believe it was the same company that used to supply the british army green for painting all the british tanks as well. Of course when GW brought that in house the 3rd party just renamed them and keep selling them. So if you want the original paints google Coat De Arms. There is a video idea for you compare Coat De Arms paints to the current GW ones and prove it peachy is right they have changed. Well I guess we know that is the case of course.

Good replacement for rackarth flesh is Vallejo silver grey 👌🏼 I went to great lengths to find that one 😂 to the edge of madness

I print all my attachments, 15mm ww2 tanks etc. As long as the CAD design is done properly, with new printers the products are SMOOTH. GW 100% prints and it's easy to spot when you do it yourself. All good though, plastic is FAR less effort even now - which is why I don't 3d print armies / units etc just gear.

The first necron monolith was a beast

Absolutely love the pod! I have a question for Geoff. Has the amount of nerdy Warhammer types coming in to your barber shop increased since starting the podcast? 😁

Listening to you talking about the sprues and tooling design and I totally agree. People often say things like "Games Workshop make the best Miniatures in the world" and being honest, they don't. They make excellent Miniatures but I wouldn't say they are the best; I could rattle off a list of miniatures companies that are as good or better when viewed as a finished product. But the tooling of the plastic kits is where they really excel. I would say that Games Workshop's tooling is as good, if not better, than most scale model companies. Maybe only beaten by some of the Gundam kits. The stuff Games Workshop can do as a plastic kit is pretty amazing. On the subject of the GW lawsuit in the USA. The company was Chapterhouse studios and they weren't just making conversion parts, there were entire models for things GW had written in their lore and didn't make miniatures for. And then there were conversion bits as well. Overall, Chapterhouse studios is widely considered to have "won", the judge ruled in favour of Chapterhouse on more counts than for GW. However it was also pretty much a pyrrhic victory as the costs of fighting the lawsuit left Chapterhouse in a significant amount of debt and they went bankrupt not long after the conclusion of the lawsuit. There were quite a lot of lessons learned by GW in the wake of that and they either rushed out a lot of really poor Miniatures to plug the gaps or removed models from various codices. They got themselves, fairly quickly, into a position where all units described in the rules had models

Great videos. This was another banger

Another great show guys

The blue-capped gorilla glue may not be available over there, but is really way less frustrating to use that regular super glue.

Adding airbrush thinner and sometimes some flow improver can "fix" the newer rakarth flesh et al to make them smoother again. It will however make it thinner

Easily the best podcast for geeks keep up the great work 👍🏻

For Peachy Workshop is the Hotel California :D

On the 3d printing thing. 3 words as a Tau player. Cyclic ion blasters. Why have the option of weapon load outs (and multiple ones at that) for weapons that aren’t in the box.

The Warbringer kit from Adeptus Titanicus was brilliant because all the armor panels that could be confused had molded RF, RR, RI, RO for Different Right/Left Front/Rear/Inside/Outside orientations

If GW gets into 3D printing make to order, I predict they will refer to the printers as STC machines.

I look forward to these podcasts

Definitely the best podcast for hams 😉❤️

My pallid wych flesh is silky smooth, one of my favourite paints

The microphone is growing a head with glasses and a red beard. So cool. Lol

First 5 minutes. I now realize what English sounds like to someone with only partial understanding 😂

I've found recently several citadel paints I've picked up have been watery. No matter how much I shake the pot or stir it the paint is still like water. So I've started to pick up Vallejo when I need a replacement.

I have a pot of naggaroth night from day 1 of the range and it is straught up 1 stage darker. Then theres balthasar gold thats now red/copper compaired to the old pots

On the topic of fine cast the warping is terriblemon older kits. Just picked up the gondor commanders sprue and the Knight of the white tower is looking like he's holding a reverse samurai sword

I have a colour scheme that requires my shades to cover the whole mini and make it just the right kinda dirty…. The new shades don’t do this and it annoys me a lot

I love the paint talk. Try some Pro Acryl white. It makes White Scar seem like stick deodorant.

I need that yellow tutorial to drop lol. I have lots of Imperial Fists ready to prime and need to know the best color to prime them with haha

Games workshop model kits do not come with instructions. They come with vague suggestions on how you build it.
