I really, really enjoyed this! I'd love more Games Workshop stories from behind the  scenes.

I was one of those kids that was dropped off at Games Workshop a lot in the 90’s. My Dad would drop me off in the morning and pick me up in the evening most Sundays. Although we spent quite a bit of money in the store, the manager eventually got sick of it and told me I couldn’t do it anymore.

I totally get where you guys are coming from and understand it must have done your head in being being expected to look after random kids. But being one of those oblivious kids, it was awesome! I still have fond memories of gaming, painting and just chatting Warhammer and other nerdy stuff with other players and the super friendly staff. As nerd culture wasn’t as accepted then as it is now, being a nerdy kid and having a place to go and be able to be myself meant a lot. I’ve no doubt that experience is what cemented me into being a lifelong Warhammer fan.

Salute to all the GW staff that have random kids dumped while they’re trying to do their actual job but go out out there way to make those kids welcome. I assure you, we remember you.

We need a podcast with Peachy and Northern Exile sharing their stories and perspectives.

I was a teenager when Peachy was manager at Derby. I have very happy memories of the fantasy release. Peachy waving round bottles of fizzy pop stuffed full of jelly snakes claiming it was a night goblin potion. Thanks for all the happy memories.

These need to be podcasts. Perfect to listen to while painting.

Listening to Peach's time at GW makes me realize how great he must have been as a manager.

These two have such insightful and matured ideas on the different topics they go through, What a Fantastic discussion.

I was a poor kid in a minority neighborhood here in the states and I would have given anything to go to a GW store or to even talk with other kids my age about Warhammer. I was so lonely and only had a model catalogue, a couple of white dwarfs, and about 6 dwarves. But man...I used to daydream about having a big group of friends and models to play with and an adult that wasn't a piece of crap to help us along. Love hearing these stories and if you were a kid that got to experience this... I'm envious.

Again, awesome interview. I don't know how to say this without sounding like a nob, but it's nice to hear people having a conversation about Warhammer and it not make me cringe. Two normal people talking about a shared hobby without yelling and shouting.

Like, the lore is fun and silly but it's nice hearing you two just having a chat about it without trying to go over the top.

I started listening to this episode thinking "yeah let's hear some stories from inside GW" and by the end I'm blown away by how well Peachy balances a love for the hobby with top notch corporate professionalism. Recruiters should watch this episode and offer him big $.

I used to love/hate getting the same speech every GW i visited up and down the country, I'd often mention non-GW games or when asked what army i collect i tended to say  "everything"  and just give awkward replies that would kill conversations.

Peachy brings so much joy and laughter to this hobby. I love it.

I really loved the honesty of the box art conversation. It shows why I am loving this channel more and more. I love that we are highlighting realistic expectations and ways to get there for regular people.

This discussion has amazing information!

Came for “GW employee spills the beans.” And I also got a management seminar in the bargain 😁

This really brings back the memories.  I managed a GW store many years ago and agree the squad leader manager training was top shelf. It really set me up for my future career understanding P&L and the financials.  I had a great team, and really have fond memories of Saturday mornings, painting new releases and pumping the team up prior to rolling up the doors on events. Thanks for sharing guys, great chats.

I was a kid back in the 90's, picking up this hobby even before my teens :) ever since I've been creatively active and now since 8 years fully self-employed as a tattoo artist, with tattoos in my neck/hands, none if which ruined my job chances during the last epidemic having to go back to retail :) happy the world is evolving over this

It's weird because my experience of GW retail in the US as a staff member is that stores were much more geared towards outreach than servicing the active hobbyist.  We would always go for the "grail sale" which was a starter box+an army book+ primer+ paint set. Of course one thing I did learn was that you're veterans were a valuable resource as they could do things like answer rules questions so you could focus on actual sales.

great chat guys, really interesting. it's nice to hear a realistic down-to-earth conversation about the hobby and behind-the-scenes GW and Peachy's experiences.

This could literally have been 3 times as long, fascinating, love hearing the behind the scenes etc. keep it up 👌❤️

on the topic of two painters using the same recipe but getting different results; you guys should try this! Peachy writes a painting guide then he and Geoff get painting and compare the results
