Can You Build & Paint a Warhammer army in 12 hours?!

With the release of the new Cadian models for Warhammer 40K we got wondering, could Peachy Build & Paint the Cadia Stands box in 12 hours? Our Patrons chose the colour scheme of the 122nd Reg and he set off on the mission! Can it be done?

15 hours 15 minutes. Life expectancy of a veteran guardsman. Excellent as ever.

[@EternalQuestion]

It's funny how Duncan comes across exactly the same in his videos as he did when he worked for GW. But Peachy now has a completely different personality 🤣 I kinda like that we get the authentic Peachy now instead of the scripted GW version.

[@_threepointedcircle_]

Peachy unleashed is a sight to behold

[@HobbyJackal]

More biscuits, for sure ;)

[@jameswilloughby4381]

At first I wasn’t to keen on him but just stumbled across this video and now I actually think he’s a legend

[@Manuel-zp7cl]

Honestly incredible to have both create video's for everyone. Painting a good looking model or army has become a lot easier for me thanks to their contributions in GW and outside.

[@donotinteract7851]

Slick editing on this one, a real joy to watch. Nice work team

[@thepaintingphase]

Thanks! Bit more room for additional shots as filming takes a bit longer. It was a blast to make which I hope comes across, glad you're enjoying it!

[@Dragongaze13]

Yeah the editing is insane. Also the camera movment at 11:28 ???

[@Sandmann1193]

Having you and Duncan with own channels is just a blessing for the community. Familiar faces that gave me my first paint instructions now a few years later is just something else. Still teaching me to get better with some nostalgia mixed in haha

[@Dillithium]

I love, love the tip about the armor panels on the sentinel. Leaving the edges really does look amazing. Thanks guys!

[@thepaintingphase]

Sneaky little tip in there, great for weathered vehicles and lightning fast ⏩

[@CoachKussenVuist]

Tip for painting Sleeven: you can use a decal on his sleeveless arm, with a bit of weathering it looks like a tattoo without being great at freehand.

[@facesnbases9853]

Some amazing tips in here from the playbook of a pro army painter. The panels tip to leave the silver edges is genius. Shame about the AP primer. I've only had a few and they've all messed up on me. Friends' ones have been fine. I'm loving Colour Forge for colours that Citadel don't have. Great tip on the assembly line for speed. I like the way you tick them off on the instructions. That saves working out what you've done already. Brilliant.

[@facesnbases9853]

@AnonymousGhost Yeah I hear all sorts of good and bad experiences. I wonder if there's just good and bad batches?

[@richardgreathead5735]

I had 1 experience of a army painter can just blasting paint out like a hose. They aren't consistent enough on quality to replace other brands

[@Mrog200]

Yea, Icame to comment about the not painting up to the edge of the panels being a great tip. And something I would never have thought of.

[@TristanSplunge]

15:15 is still exceptional for a tabletop-ready army! Fantastic work as always, Peachy!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Came for the army mans, stayed for the christmas biscuits :-)

[@KageKS]

The 15 hours reference was excellence. Such a good book, I wish it had an audiobook version

[@thepaintingphase]

😍👍

[@minibang2543]

The good ol’ bourbon biscuit and a drink! Absolutely amazing!

[@longhunter5935]

I liked that even though you were under a time crunch, you still took the time to go camo on the troops, chipping, rust effects. If the spray would have worked and you wouldn’t have pushed the extras you probably could have it closer to the 12. Great effort and they look great. Inspirational!

[@thepaintingphase]

Thanks, it was a very fun project to do, and we’re looking to do another soon

[@DungusDingus]

I've never had luck with army painter sprays

[@DoubleBrushPainting3Dprinting]

I little bit disappointed the video don’t last 12 hours 😂😂 The painting job and the video making are awesome like always!!

[@thepaintingphase]

Haha! Imagine the adverts though 😬

[@petrinafilip96]

Id legit play something like that in background while painting. I love listening to random banter while people do other stuff.

[@cordial001]

You guys' videos are just so well put together with the camerawork, the music and all. Love it.

[@GoDSkRiLLa69]

Dang! The shots in every single frame were really beautiful, matches the painting Peachy! Can't wait to see whats next from you all!

[@gamergee88]

Great video. Wasn't aware you worked outside of GW (not hater) just didn't know. Very good presence on camera. The thing that made me sure you're a decent chap was.... the bourbon biscuit. A man of taste. Also that chipping technique for the armour is such a great tip perfect 🙌

[@stonkotron319]

They hit 40k subscribers!

[@Nardio]

That was a fun watch. I like how lighthearted these videos of yours are.

[@thepaintingphase]

Thanks 😍😍😍

[@sludgedisciple]

I love these new cadians, but man are they a pain in the butt to build.

[@theanimaster]

I think it’s freakin amazing how your background music works so well with the narration here. Y’all are putting the GW production team to shame!

[@thepaintingphase]

Thanks so much. That’s really kind

[@nasigoring1525]

I love these painting challenge videos. They feed my motivation. MORE! I DEMAND MORE!

[@HyperEwok1]

respect to Peachy for answering the video's question with "not quite this time"

[@DaHobbles]

Great video! Super engaging and I liked the overall tone of the video. Speed painting can be a slog but I liked seeing the fun you had in between the steps :)

[@teessidetyrants1989]

Great video. Really appreciate that you actually revaluated your time limit, and were honest with it.

[@thepaintingphase]

Glad it was helpful! And it would’ve been so disingenuous to lie about it. All honesty and truth on this channel 👍

[@stephendugdale1219]

I've only just seen this. I think you put across how people should approach the hobby, rule of cool, and you're you're so nice and honest. Thank you! Subbed

[@thepaintingphase]

Thank you so much 😊

[@thehiddenheretic]

The 122nd is the best looking of the Cadian regiments, did up my own take on them last year using old pewter guardsmen and have been procrastinating on adding my 40 new plastics to the mix for a bit. I even built myself an Arbites Precinct for them to defend from my Night Lords, as close to the original as possible while still giving it some updates. You did a great job and my troops would be proud to fight next to yours!

[@thepaintingphase]

Aww thanks! We’ll stand together against those filthy chaos scum

[@MercenaryQ]

When I watch videos of peachy teaching me how to paint/built I get intense nostalgia from when I first started! Keep up the amazing work

[@mw2freak63]

Great video guys!! Can really notice the production quality

[@brendenconolly7161]

Decals on a corpse - brilliant! Also that not painting to the edges tip is super!

[@krzysztofturczyk5484]

That was amazing, I hope we can see how you paint other models like Rogal Dorn to match this 122nd Guard army :)

[@Gilly9784]

I want to see Geoff building those Delaque models 😂 great video again lads!

[@thepaintingphase]

Separate bloody necks!!!!!

[@dekai7992]

Loved that colour scheme since I first saw the cover of Cityfight. Beautifully done army!

[@emmetwalker2995]

Awesome video. Brilliant tips for the horizontal Ys on the camo.

[@Deadshot788]

The tips for painting the sentinel are fantastic. I am for sure going to give that a try.

[@pimvandergeer7179]

damn that Sentinel model is tempting me to start a guard army again... XD interesting paint application on it, with the edges remaining metal, i wonder what using a contrast paint will do with that technique. and also how it would look had you stippled the greys on instead. Cool stuff keep it up!

[@mhbjarkistef]

Skipping the edges made the walker look sooooo goood!

[@Perkustin]

Great video, will be keeping my eye out for more like this in future!

[@thepaintingphase]

We'll see how it goes, might have a world eaters on coming up when the new models are released.

[@xid1980x]

Ive found with the AP primers, the colours are fantastic but the cans just seem to lose pressure by the time the get to half a can. Got like six half full cans of AP primer that just wont spray. Even got replacement nozzles direct from AP last year, but no joy. Love your content, keep it up lads

[@FirstHeretic]

Same here, no luck with army painter cans. Always thought it was the nozzle that was blocked by dried up paint. B but the cans loosing pressure also makes sense.

[@toferkrz946]

Army painter in general is simply garbage. Their acrylics have terrible coverage, their shades dry glossy half the time, their contrast-wannabe paints smear off with water, their brushes crack, their spray cans either lose pressure or spring leaks. A bit of my kitchen drawers is still stained Platemail Metal after the can leaked and started spitting paint everywhere. The only product of theirs that wasn't straight up trash and actually performed its function is the laser line pointer, but I bought mine several years ago and I have no doubt they managed to screw those up somehow in the interim. They legit can't do anything properly, I am baffled people still give them business and buy the cheap shoddy garbage at luxury prices. At least geedub stuff freaking works when you overpay for it.

[@thepaintingphase]

We've used some since that have worked ok, hopefully we were just unlucky with this one.

[@xid1980x]

@@thepaintingphase Ah fair dos 👍🏼

[@FirstHeretic]

@@toferkrz946 The washes and some of the metallic colors are decent but in general I agree with you. I avoid AP and use them only for terrain (was gifted a paint set a few years ago, never really liked it for the reasons you pointed out). Would always put a few more pennies on the counter and go for at least Vallejo colors.

[@Vrael7777]

More of these challenges please! They're always very inspiring.

[@Azlaak]

Really cool mate ❤ good job. I love the content!! Keep it up!

[@shikirush3199]

Thanks you It’s good to see a good complete guide to the 122nd guard

[@HobbyJackal]

Marv'lous video chaps! Really enjoyed seeing Peachy in "army painter" mode from start to finish. Really inspired me to try and change up my slow, slow ways :)

[@thepaintingphase]

Glad you enjoyed the vid, and hopefully there was some useful tips to help you along the way - peachy

[@HobbyJackal]

@@thepaintingphase Oh, definitely! The laying out on the build instructions/crossing out, the over painting with the drybrush and the not-quite-going to the edges on metalwork were all highlights. ...and reassuring to know even the pros have spray undercoat issues 😊😁. Cheers again! 🙌

[@DarthSid]

God save this christmas 🍪 s! Very entertaining Peachy! Lots of small insights for painting and great use of new basing materials/products! Lots of benefits for the viewer. Thx a lot! 👍

[@thepaintingphase]

Thank you! Cheers! ❤❤❤

[@theredestshirt9726]

I like this and i’ll be watching it over again probably as i paint my Cadia Stands box for New Army New Year. I’m going for a Halo theme on my Guardsmen but watching some of the techniques on peachy showed here (especially since i been figuring how too do the Field Gun crew separate from the main model) thanks!

[@Sinsabre]

10:52 Love this tip! Going to be painting some big machinery soon and I'm definitely going to use this method.

[@Br0ck3n]

1:56 -3? ROOKIE NUMBERS. For context, I live in Michigan. We recently went down to -20, with windchill.

[@Hirokae]

What an excellent video lads. Such a great effort painting, but by far the most relaxing speed paint challenge to watch. Big questions now. How many biscuits did Peachy consume over the challenge? Can we expect a biscuit review video soon? How many biscuits can the lads speed eat in 15 minutes? Need to know. For science.

[@thepaintingphase]

The painting phase is proud to announce our new channel sponsor: foxes crunch creams!

Great Video! The tick for weathering the pannles was inspired.

[@weirdelk]

Loved every second! Great video!

[@thepaintingphase]

Awesome! Thank you! 🥰👍

[@jonathondaniels2127]

Fantastic videos guys. Great method for painting the panels on the vehicles Peachy. Simple yet effective. I've had similar issues with Army Painter spray cans in the past. I personally think its the nozels that are the problem as when I've put a different nozel on a dodgy can it seems to fix the issue.

[@thepaintingphase]

Ooh nice shout, will try that next time, thanks Jonathan 👍

[@jasontripp9416]

Really enjoyed this video. Nice mix of a how to paint with a challenge.

[@thepaintingphase]

Exactly what we were aiming for, glad you enjoyed it!

[@CaffeinatedMiniatures]

Perfect timing, as I sit here painting far too many thralls and reavers 😂 Love the editing in this one. Great stuff!

[@Lordvader1212]

I’ve painted hundreds of minis and 1 minute 30 seconds in I realised you can glue gun crew to bases and then remove after painting 😂😂😂 how have I missed this! Great tip!

[@Lordvader1212]

Wanted to add... fantastic video, showing people how to paint an army quickly and to a good standard. More of these!

[@thepaintingphase]

Thanks so much, really appreciated.

[@stephenmazeski9312]

awesome video, love your work & videos. currently painting genestealer cults... i have 20 hybrids, 5 acolytes, magus, primus, and two familiars painted, all with wasteland bases. still need to finish patriarch which i am doing some green stuff on. want to start the walker and i am almost done with the ridge runner. my cult is growing!!!!!!! Also have a new tau army viorla sept battle worni started which i have one drone done and three breachers.... also did high contrast sand bases for these.... ugh i am in over my head but i love it. videos like these give me the inspiration to paint for a few hours at a time. but i always go for detail because if not i feel like i am not giving it my all! cozy painting corner is what its about.

[@mackthompson2147]

Fantastic job! I took some great tips for this, in particular about the vehicle panels. Would love to see your take on some GSC troops and vehicles.

[@thepaintingphase]

We’ll ever say never. I have ideas and plans so definitely a possibility 👍

[@XAVR_]

Tip for spray painting in the cold: Run a sink of warm (NOT HOT) water and let the cans sit in the water for 15-20 mins before using them.

[@Modge17]

Great video! I actually did a Cityfight test model the other week using your KZbin Short for camo painting! The only change I made was using Runic Grey Speedpaint as the base colour!

[@thepaintingphase]

Very cool! If your on Twitter or insta you should totally share us the pics, would love to see it 😍👍

[@hughmyers8583]

I'm a veteran hobbyist but I still like that you show every step. This is a very helpful video for new players and us old hands alike.

[@thepaintingphase]

Thanks Hugh 👍👍👍 good to know it’s still engaging even if your a vet hobbyist

[@malefic5254]

Spray cans screwing up are why I moved to using an airbrush for my priming. Also, I really like vallejo's ground texture, but I also tend to paint over it with the colors that I want so your milage may vary.

[@edwindrood2816]

Well done, and Hobby content I haven't got elsewhere.

[@LordBelakor]

I love the pannel painting for fast weathering

[@guleri]

15 hours and 15 minutes, that is still a lot faster than I would have managed to paint this box. And if I wanted this quiality it would be more like 15 days... Thanks for giving us tips as you go. I will have a go at making different skintones when I paint up this box as all my guardsmen (and women) so far have Cadian Fleshtone as their skin.

[@Josh-dr3fj]

Thank you for this I was really struggling trying figure out how I wanted to paint my sentinels and this really helped me find a direction :)

[@brightborn]

Tip for spraying in the cold, put your spray can in some hot water for a few minutes to warm it up beforehand (not boiling hot though and make sure not to submerge the very top with the nozzle you dont want water to go into your spray paint) now that theres some warmth the pigments have some heat to resist the cold when they are sprayed,dry off the spray can so that it doesn't go cold as soon as you take it outside. it will only give you a couple minutes to work with .
