Phil "The Glacial Geek" Hall

Hello! My name is Phil Hall, also known as the Glacial Geek,
and I am a member of The Army Painter Factory Team! I have been making miniature wargaming content on YouTube for over nine years from battle reports to painting tutorials and gaming discussions. My entire take on miniature painting and gaming is that it should be FUN! This is a hobby and should bring joy, so my entire channel is dedicated to finding that joy. Be it through playing, the lore, painting, or anything else, I earnestly believe enjoyment should be the goal of your hobby journey! I have absolutely LOVED working with The Army Painter as their entire company feels geared towards finding the joy in this hobby. Whether it is methods like Speedpaint and Quickshade Dips to get you playing faster, or developing (in my opinion) the best acrylic miniature paints on the market with Warpaints Fanatic to help you perfect your competition level painting - their products are designed to help you find your joy. Add on to that that every person at the company from their founders to the wonderful people who package their products are such nice people and you have me on board!

Having worked with their products quite extensively now, here is a list of three of my favorite products they produce!

"Speedpaint have changed my entire hobby experience. From one coat and done for tabletop models, to glazing and boosting saturation with more traditional methods, Speedpaints are a staple of my painting life."
"I use Battlefield Basing: Snow on almost every base I make these days. Either mixed with Warpaints Fanatic to create a texture paste, or applied to the base before priming to use Speedpaint over - it is a quick and effective way to base your models to get on the table top!"
"The new Warpaints Fanatic line has literally made me a better painter! Their Flexible Triad System and easy application and coverage has allowed me the capacity to push my painting in ways I was unable to with other paints."
