We ask Peachy from The Painting Phase all the questions you want answered!

[@PaterUrsa]

I am so happy both Mr. Peach and Mr. Duncan have their own channels and creative outlets. As a hobbyist, they fulfill two different needs, and I get so much value from both. Same with this hobby channel. It's such a great time to be here in the hobby, where such great diversity of talent and hobby education is available ❤

[@MediocreHobbies]

I also love that. So many amazing channels to watch each week.

[@PaterUrsa]

@Mediocre Hobbies btw thank you for the hobby video lately, loved the indomitus (inspired me to crush my own space marine side) and the painting vids for levisthan!

[@youtubevanced4900]

Don't forget Rogue Hobbies

[@ovan2190]

I think Painting Phase falls in a good middle ground, entertainment and informative I can watch and learn from their videos or I can get a laugh from the podcast. This was a great watch, Peachy seems like a great guy too

[@MediocreHobbies]

Very true. I’m a big fan of there style.

[@WePaintMinis]

Wondeful chat and great to watch. I am glad we have The Painting Phase and Duncans channel, both different, but about the same thing. I love it.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Totally agree, the more channels out there the better, there’s always something for everyone!

[@WePaintMinis]

@@MediocreHobbies Glad you agree for sure! Hopefully I can join the Pantheon haha

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Awesome podcast lads! Fantastic chat, and can’t wait for the next part

[@MediocreHobbies]

Glad to hear pal.

[@Smilomaniac]

It was Peachy’s interview while at GW that warmed me to him. Warhammer painting videos are to the point which is nice, but at some point GW seemed to do these lower painting standard vids and I think people saw Peachy coming in at the same time as a reason for that, even though he’s giving you ‘get it on the table and still looking more than fine’ advice.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah they switched to doing battle ready and parade ready videos and I think a lot of people were used to seeing a higher standard in their videos even though it wasn't good for army painters, or beginners. I think making different standard videos was a good idea though rather than people feeling like they didnt want to buy models that looked too hard to paint! Cheers for the comment

[@almost_zab]

geezus Peachy, that's pretty much exactly how i left after 20 years in television writing, producing and editing. Glad you got out and got to enjoy it again, but your way!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Ye he is in such a good place now. And we’re all happy to have him.

[@almost_zab]

@@MediocreHobbies the first part of that makes it sound like he's passed. lol "he's in a better place now. On big farm with so many paint and miniatures and all the brushes he could ever want"

Great interview. Great questions. Great Peachy. Really enjoyed listening to this interview while getting some mini's done. Great stuff!

[@MediocreHobbies]

He is great isn't he? Glad you enjoyed!

[@reefarolla32]

So nice to hear Duncan and Peachy are happy after leaving. I met Duncan at the launch of the contrast at waarhammerfest. He is such a lovely guy but he looked like he was under so much pressure. I had my Hawkshroud knights in my car, I showed Duncan pics and he looked really excited. Would have loved to get them and show them in the flesh but he was far too busy. Would love to meet Peachy too, we have a very similar dark and naughty sense of humour. It would be so much fun! Plus I need inspiration to finish my Legio Metallica and Legio mortis demi companies 😂😂

[@MediocreHobbies]

There both great guys I’m big fans of them and what there doing. Maybe you can meet him some day.

[@reefarolla32]

@MediocreHobbies absolutely, would love it. I have a great hobby community of 6 chaps, would be great for everyone to meet up. I have dedicated hobby room, my wife loves it 😂🤣. So glad they are now independent. Just came accross your channel with this interview too, will definitely be watching from now on. Gonna use your nids tutorial to help my son paint his new Nids in the leviathan box. Keep up the good work, the community gets stronger and stronger everyday 👍

[@niallmurray1978]

Massive Kudos guys - great fireside chat with Mr. P. Plus, sounds like there is more to come - win, win.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks man, and yes, part 2 will be out on Friday evening!

Love watching Peachy, Duncan, Suggs plus everyone else - wish i could be able to do something similar

[@MediocreHobbies]

If you really want to do it, it's up to you to make it happen!

[@InnuendoOutTheOther]

Funny comment about the bright lamp and the hayfever, when I used to watch Peachy's vids with my wife she'd always ask me if he needed glasses because he was squinting all the time lol

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahahaha it’s a good question.

[@Evohunter7]

Brilliant chat boys

Great video guys. Quick question, Tom did I play a game of AoS against your Idoneth in Drogheda years ago with a Blades of Khorne army? Think it was my first or second ever game with them. You were a great opponent (if indeed you are who I think you are!)

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hope he helped.

[@n3dstark]

@@MediocreHobbies he did indeed. Great channel lads!

[@kmccallig]

Awesome video Andy, Tom.

[@davidwasilewski]

Industry/sector dependent obviously, but if you’re good at your job, then you usually are best leaving and setting up yourself as a freelancer. I left and have worked for myself for about 12 years now. Never looked back. Wished I’d done it sooner! Good luck to the Peach.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah i totally agree! Cheers for the comment!

Yep, both terrible outcomes!

[@ATOMTAYLOR]

Peachys home office! yaaay

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahah finally.

[@samhoban2509]

Such a great chance to learn more about Peachy. Gotta admit, I mistakenly made assumptions about him early on, and am happy to be proven wrong. He’s a stand up guy who has made some great positive changes in his life and taken courage to move away from things that are moving in an opposing direction to where he needs to be. Much respect.

[@MediocreHobbies]

No harm being wrong when you learn the truth afterwards and admit it! Much respect for your comment too, cheers!

[@auxlen]

[@MediocreHobbies]

Oh really?

[@Bunyip_Studios]

@@MediocreHobbies yeah, the channel Code, Tech, and Tutorials has a 8 video playlist for Blender 2.9,he updated a couple to 2.92 but he lost interest or something I've just signed up for the Udemy course. If you wait for their "sales" you can pick it up for about a tenner instead of the stupid "regular" price Edit: it's using the latest Blender release or close to it, they bring it up to date regularly

[@esaedvik]

The whole push for WH+ is such a clear signal that they were desperate for subscription models and "X As A Service" models. I'm surprised they don't have paint as a service etc. yet. With WH+ the lack of content was so sad. Killed off great KZbin animations who were just joy for the creators AND the fans and definitely brought in money indirectly to GW. Astartes was huge for a lot of people. I do hope the creator is happy at GW, if he's still there.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Really bummed to hear ya'll throwing shade at Louise. She's like 2 months out the gate and just took a huge risk. Peachy jumped into an established ecosystem and..... Does a lot of podcasts apparently. Speaking of painting....

[@MediocreHobbies]

What on Earth do you mean. We all love Louise and what she is doing. What gave you the impression we were throwing shade?

[@thum-nales]

Peachy and Sugs are super tight and in no way was anybody in this video slamming on Sugs. I absolutely know Peachy is huge impressed with her success. How? Because I hang out with him multiple times a month talking about all sorts of things. What you were seeing was the amazement they have for how successful she was right out of the gate and I personally know Peachy wishes absolutely nothing but the best for her (and continues to help her with her efforts). Good lord, man. Huge misread of the room right there!

[@theanimaster]

28:50 holy crap! I just realized I was one of those people - until I watched so much of The Painting Phase I just can’t get enough Peachy now … well thanks a lot for reminding me, Peachy! 🤣

[@theanimaster]

This is the same rubbish I face at my job working for a corporation. Eventually when my kids grow their wings a fly the coop, I will be able to do what I want to do… and probably make more money while I’m at it. It’s all about how secure you are at the moment, and taking that leap.

[@MediocreHobbies]

So true, you have to be pretty lucky to be able to take the leap and really be able to do what you want. I wish you the best of luck that it works out for you
