GUIDED BATTLE SETUP Choose your battle size, muster your armies, select your mission, set up the battlefield, select fixed or tactical secondary missions, deploy your units, determine who will go first, and even remember to resolve your pre-battle abilities! Then hit that start button to begin the fight for glory! PHASE BY PHASE CONTROL Step through the phases of each player's turn as intended by the rules and objectives. Your CP each turn is automatically added so you'll never forget, score primary and secondary objective points at the correct times, get prompted to select secret missions, and more! VICTORY POINT SCORING Simply tap to score points for primary and secondary missions at the correct time. See your overall score and progress for each mission during the battle, and know when you've hit the limit! COMMAND POINT AND STRATAGEM USAGE Automatically gain your CP at the start of your turn, check how many CP you have, see the specific stratagems available to you for the current phase, and simply click a button to activate them and spend your CP. Per-phase limits stop you accidentally using a stratagem twice (we're looking at you, Command Re-roll!). CONNECT WITH FRIENDS Connect with your friends to start a battle that's linked to each of your accounts, see overall stats of your battle history with each friend, and see your friends' battles against other players through our updates feed. BATTLE EVENT LOGS See exactly when that stratagem was used, review the points that were scored, confirm you actually did get your additional CP at the start of your turn (until you realise BattleBase doesn't make mistakes and you stop checking), and more! A HISTORY OF ALL YOUR BATTLES See the full history of your previous battles against your friends, including names, scores, and events. SHARED EXPERIENCE Enable both players to easily access information about the state of the battle, including the primary objective, each player's selected secondary objectives, victory and command points, and stratagems available to their opponent. MULTI-DEVICE SUPPORT The ultimate large screen shared experience via a large screen next to your gaming table. Don't have a large screen? Each player can control the battle using their smartphone. Or for the ultimate experience, use phones or tablets alongside your large screen. BattleBase will keep them all in sync. DICE ROLLER Quickly roll those 100 attacks, rerolling the 1s or all fails, and with exploding sixes! CHESS TIMER Train for that tournament, or just ensure you and your friend can get through that game before your better half threatens to leave you... again! ...and much more!

Free to use and I pay for it anyways. Not much else to say! ### 4/5 — I love it but there are a few problems *2026-03-27* I love this but there are some problems like I built my army but I have to change my squad to even have them work in it for that Krieg engineering squad I can’t have my 2 shotgunned models and it is stoping me from using them ### 2/5 — Too convoluted *2025-10-24* Someone (or many people) have obviously spent a lot of time developing this app but it is far to busy. Tried to use it a few times and I was just overwhelmed with the level of complexity and how unwieldy it was to navigate. Simplify it up guys. Deleted… back to Tabletop Battles. **Developer response:** Thanks for trying BattleBase! I’m sorry it was too complex. I’m hoping to streamline the experience in the future. :) ### 5/5 — Glad I found this app! *2025-10-07* Intuitive UI makes following phases easy and smooth. I’m new to 40K table top so the primary and secondary scoring prompts are awesome to have. Also appreciate not having to spend even more $$$ on codices as I want to play several armies. Can’t wait for other modes to be included like CP, boarding actions, etc. ### 1/5 — Glitchy and cluttered *2025-08-09* I don’t understand why people use this app. I could track battles better on paper. Clicking things sometimes doesn’t work. You have to wait on the app to work. Then building battle list say they are invalid when they definitely are. ### 1/5 — Slow *2025-06-17, version 3.0.2* Made a roster but everything was so delayed which is incredibly annoying incrementing unit only for it to give no feedback for seconds at a time then just update with potentially a fraction of times you clicked ### 5/5 — Hands Down Best Battle Manager *2025-04-21* I have used this app over a year and I can say this is the number 1 best Battle manager app on the market. I don't usually go out of my way to write reviews. But I preach about this app to all my opponents to use every time. It has so much info during and after game that is so beneficial to follow and track what is going on during and after a game. Easy to follow, shows you all the phases with current primaries secondaries what stratagems you and or your opponent can use during those stratagems respective phases. Tracks how much time on each turn for each player, tracks every event you do. Easily change points or undo something if you mess up, have some pictures to take of the battlefield and upload to save to the battle. You do not need any other app. Download this one now do not even bother with the others. ### 5/5 — Must for new players *2025-03-28* I love using BattleBase. I’m really new at Warhammer 40 K but this game app helped me understand the rules and breakdown how to play properly understanding what order things happen in. So many cool features beyond just keeping score. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2024-10-06* BattleBase is such an awesome battle management app! I show this app to my opponent every time I play a game of 40k. Love how there are consistent updates as well to keep the app up-to-date as the game evolves and new codices are released. You can track everything from game score, detachment-specific stratagems, and everything else you need to play a game. I truly believe this app will be the future standard for normal and tournament play! ### 5/5 — Battlebased *2024-10-04, version 2.0.1* Very polished and feature rich app, perfect to guiding you through the game and the co-op functionality is brilliant.
