Prototype Space Marines, NEVER SEEN, Bob Naismith Returns!

[@josephbradshaw2825]

This is awesome. Would there ever be the possibility of Bob, just designing a really basic figure and showing us how he does it, like a screen recording? Would be so interesting.

[@thepaintingphase]

That's a really good idea! We keep in touch so maybe we'll try to set something up in the future.

[@josephbradshaw2825]

@@thepaintingphase just think it would be interesting to see how he does the basics

[@johnhobkinson560]

Painting with Peachy. Building with Bob

[@niklas3947]

That's a great idea. I'd be really interested to see how something like this is done, and TBH I've never understood why GW doesn't capitalise on this incredible creativity they have in their design department and do something like a behind-the-scenes just for marketing purposes. It'd be genuinely awesome if one day they just released some high profile miniature and then went "...and this is how we did it start to finish" in the style of all those sportclub documentaries where they follow a team for a season. Probably ridiculously expensive to produce, but it would be an awesome documentary.

[@armholeeio]

I’d buy that for a dollar

[@joshuaboyle7585]

I couldn't ask for a better returning guest. Absolutely love Bob Naismith! ♥️

[@killerkriegsman85]

I like the fact the majority of the video is questions and answers cant wait to see what the next tea with Bob has in store.

[@BrendanReith]

Bob Naismith is such a wonderful genuine man. His attitude about the hobby and just life is amazing. Really hope to see him more on the painting phase, maybe even a small little sculpting special?

[@garayworkshop]

Amazing episode, Bob is an incredible human, like the last time, just 10-15 minutes in and I love the man. I do want to take the chance to ask if it is possible to bring in Karl Kopinski, would love to hear him talk about his period on GW, in most of his interviews that period gets passed by because the interviewers don't know or care about that. Also Adrian Smith would be amazing.

[@LincolnTank-StillOnTheSprue]

Bob is such a fascinating bloke to listen to. I bet he's an absolute mine of stories and knowledge if you could ever get him to have a coffee or an ale for a couple of hours. Great episode again guys

[@tomhugues]

Awesome podcast as always with a surprise shout out 🤩! thanks guys. The T'au bust is about 1:4 scale. If you're coming to fest I'll show you.

[@thepaintingphase]

😍😍😍 TOM!!! HI!!! YOURE THE BESTEST!!!! - Peachy

[@marc_paints40k]

Always love hearing Bob talk about the insights of the whole design process of minis. I could sit for hours and listen to him talk about injection moulding!

[@thepaintingphase]

Hahaha! Yea same, the guys a national treasure

[@jeremiahembs5343]

Great guest. Naismith was a big inspiration to many artists including me. So much history, skill, and character packed into one man.

[@MrCarp69]

That was absolutely amazing amazing. Bob is the most down to earth guy in the business. Ty for giving us such an iconic hour an half. Ty Bob for all that you have done for this community.

[@johnbeaudoin7820]

Another excellent interview; that old marine was delightful to see, but I really love Bob’s explanation of all the engineering and tooling that goes into model creation. My grandfather was an “industrial arts” teacher, and had a lot of similar stories to tell.

[@jamiepetereit7828]

I was taught to do the hand bridging thing when i was 11 or 12 in the early 2000's in the games workshop in York. I was painting my first miniature (an archer) and the advice has stuck with me till today.

[@Nicola_Sacco]

I do enjoy when Bob is on. When are you upgrading him to "Friend of the Show" status?

[@vegancam]

"That's exactly how I do it", coming from John Blanche is a solid gold badge of honour. I don't think there could be a higher compliment to be paid in this hobby.

[@HumanSynthetics]

Great show all! Would love to hang with Bob and chat minis for an afternoon. Loved his first show too! Cheers

[@Synwolf1985]

Loved this, these conversations about GW origins are pretty invaluable. Talking to the people that gave us great childhoods is so cathartic in a way.

[@thepaintingphase]

Honestly it’s such a privilege to be able to have these chats

[@ironbomb6753]

Bob "Mince-n-tatties" Naismith...❤👍. Bob's figures were the first 40k miniatures i ever saw, and they blew mecaway. My imagination ran wild, and i was hooked. I'm still an old metal mini fanatic. Thank you, Bob, for such a wonderful hobby. 40k has been a part of my life longer than it has not. 😊

[@hugokenobi3631]

Thank you so much Bob for bringing our rulebook to The Painting Phase ! Such a good surprise for me !

[@thepaintingphase]

Such a good looking book, I’m very much up for trying it out, it looks superb, well done - Peachy

[@hugokenobi3631]

@@thepaintingphase hi Peachy ! Thanks for this nice feedback. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want, my mail is on the game website. 🙂

[@martinthompson2584]

So cool to hear from someone that has worked across the various eras of how miniatures are designed and still designing to this very day.

[@heggepegg]

Love Bob hanging out with my fav hobbycrew!

[@adamjackson260]

What a genuine guy. Thanks for getting Bob on again. Really enjoy hearing the creative process behind models.

[@thepaintingphase]

He's an absolute delight isn't he

[@jordanknapp7757]

To see someone who’s been in the game so long ranting and raving about new technology is really refreshing what a class bloke

[@Mr._A685]

Thanks team!

[@AnimatedIsaac]

Fantastic episode! Always great to hear from Bob and see his work, also Geoff’s Hand Cam was on point today! 👌🏻😂

[@thepaintingphase]

They looked bigger than my more than ample head!

[@noprobllama9747]

Im only halfway through watching but wanted to say superb interview, so insightful. Thank you so much.

[@andrewjamieson7178]

Another great interview, fascinating to hear more of Bob's experiences.

[@allantraise3174]

Such a great interview! I started playing Rogue Trader 40K with school friends as my first foray into tabletop gaming. So much nostalgia there for me. What a great insight into the design and manufacturing process from someone who was there from the beginning and now sculpts using 3D software. You should definitely get a 3D printer for the channel. I’ve just picked up my first one and I’m having a blast with it.

[@kaseydreamweaver]

I can only hope and pray that I maintain such a level of youthfulness and enthusiasm that Bob has visibly kept through his many years. Absolutely lovely to see him talk about his passions and it makes me happy he still gets to create things

[@heggepegg]

More Bob please! He fits in sooo good!

[@cantabrian1009]

As a 3D artist that pretty much lives in Zbrush, I love listening to Bob. I've always thought about getting a 3D printer and these chats with Bob push the 'thought' a little closer to reality. Excellent stuff as always chaps, hope you feel better Pat. Edit: Bob's analogy about different software being like a car where the steering wheel is located in different places, is spot on!

[@BanditoStu]

I loved the first time Bob was on & loved this time too. Listening to him speak is like Master Splinter teaching the Ninja Turtles. I could listen to his stories for hours & I don’t have a desire to learn how to make miniatures. He’s such a great fellow.

[@esaedvik]

Cool to hear even absolute legends like Bob have embraced Blender. It's such a nice piece of kit, for many jobs too.

[@GermanNightmare1976]

I love these chats, gentlemen. So wonderful and time flies when listening to the stories, simply wonderful! Thank you so much for the great talk.

[@thepaintingphase]

Bob is so great to listen too, so much knowledge and experience

[@BigBlueLuke85]

Brilliant show gents! There’s a lot of history in that room! Hope to hear the third instalment with Bob! Legends the lot of you!

[@aggis1980]

What a fantastic episode! Its thanks to guys like bob that we all have this hobby we love.👍

[@conanlucas6183]

Loved the first one with Bob love this one. After last time I decided to learn 3d modelling as Bob made it sound easy and relaxing.... It's not easy but it is relaxing :)

So good! Another fantastic chat with Bob. Love it.

Brilliant. Bob seems such a lovely guy.

[@Gallowfire]

wonderful and insightful interview - love the work.

[@RobbieB2606]

Great chat lads, love hearing from the oracle that is Bob. Don't know if he'd be up for it, but another star guest would be Rick Priestley - saw an interview he did about GW Middle Earth Tabletop recently and would be great to hear him go deeper

[@callumybob]

I could listen to bob all day

[@smoss9813]

What a legend. I hope he makes a habit of popping in! And someone needs to make those minis into plastic! Oooh, next on the list is John Blanche right? Go on:)

[@alexhd8973]

Fantastic follow up interview! Bob is such an interesting and insightful guy.

Great chat gents! Hope Pat is well!

[@namewastaken360]

I could listen to this for hours.

[@Deemancer]

Always amazing to see Mr. Naismith.

[@Capzielios]

I just realized that the Warhammer Retrospective articles they've been releasing this year also do not credit the original artists or sculptors. I don't think that's super relevant but I was trying to find a Catalog of Bobs work from games workshop and stumbled on it.

[@walt_man]

Bob is such a blast!

[@benburkin7942]

Awesome interview again, love listening to Bob.

[@mo_dakka]

What a great teacher Bob is

[@MugenSlayers]

I had a great time listening to you. I love mars code aurora and the models made by Bob for this setting.

[@Big_Blue_Monkey]

Another fascinating interview with Bob. It was great to hear him talk about some of processes and his first forays into digital sculpting. I remember when Zbrush first came out and a friend of mine who's 3D artist went nuts over it. Prior to that he'd been working with 3D Studio Max.

[@andrewlivingston630]

Another great ep this. Thanks to all involved.

[@heinzschmitt9661]

Such a wealth of knowledge.

Great interview! Could definitely listen to you guys for hours.

You realise you now need to get John Blanche on the show. His artwork is still rated as some of the best out there!!

[@Khazandar]

Blanche doesn't seem to be in the best of health, though.

[@farnball1]

Thank you for putting this treasure or a man on our screens.

[@Grithertime]

48:57 right on, it is so easy to make incredible models, but as a war-gaming piece they are difficult to print as they are super fragile and support heavy which can distort details. Then painting the over detailing gets lost but looks great in a 3d program but the print say 28mm very difficult to see.

[@ianfalzonmoon]

I simply love the artisan-artist talk 🙏

[@Gudbjarten]

[@johnturner2629]

Great video as usual!! Perhaps Bob could show us a Blender tutorial where he sculpts a vehicle, building and infantry model? I'm trying to grasp blender but not quite getting it.

[@PatrickCharliePrice]

YOUR SHOW IS SO GOOD

[@turfdorbrittlebeard1674]

Ahhhh yes, the original Bob Naismith!!! God I hope he gets some great royalties from GW!!!

[@dakkaflakkaflame]

Bob Naismith seems like a wonderful guy

[@charliekirkpatrick695]

Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery by Burne Hogarth I believe Bob was referring to, absolute bible for clothing and dynamism.

[@verigone2677]

we need 75mm Skirmish minis again. GW was onto something with Inquisitor, they were just about 10 years too early. I remember thinking to myself, if they farmed that out to tamiya they could keep that going forever and Tamiya would have been very good at making highly customizable and poseable push fits at a fraction of the cost to the consumer; it would have been a solid product.

[@mikespaintedminis5100]

we love you bob!

[@miwicpmiwicp8074]

I could listen to Bob talk all day, so many stories! Geoff's t-shirt is amazing, where's it from?

[@thepaintingphase]

I believe it's from a company called "last exit to nowhere" smashing isn't it! - Pat

[@seymoounit0018]

I was reading some Horus Heresy novels over the past few months and Bob's name reminded me of something that popped up in the stories. It was called a 'Naysmith' (?), forgive my spelling, and I wonder if that was a cheeky reference to Bob as the creator of space marines?

[@CambridgeRally]

Fascinating!

[@thelonelybolter8245]

Mic's sound good.. Video's running.. Pat's not there... what warp shenigans are going on in the midlands!

[@Benjambles]

Much like what what Bob was saying with his range one of the things I love about Corespace (Battlesystems) is that the random NPCs in the game do get attacked by the AI faction, and can also interact with or join the player teams and become heroes in their own right. As far as barren sprues goes, Space Marine Scouts with sniper rifles is more white space than parts.
