## What is Hobby Dataslate?

Hobby Dataslate is a miniature painting tracker for tabletop wargaming. Keep your collection inventory, hobby backlog, painting progress, paint recipes, and army lists together. An unofficial tracker for Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar collections, free to start on iPhone, iPad, and the web.

COLLECTION INVENTORY & HOBBY BACKLOG
Know which models you own and what still needs work. Track 40K and Age of Sigmar in one collection, organized by faction. Browse 3,000+ combined units across 40K datasheets and AoS warscrolls. Add Combat Patrols, Spearheads, and box sets in one tap, or scan a box barcode. Keep a wishlist for future projects and track your sprues and bits.

PAINTING PROGRESS
Follow each unit from unassembled to primed, painted, based, and finished. Save work-in-progress photos and notes so you can pick up where you left off. Set a completion goal and use Today's next step to choose a model when hobby time opens up. Stuck on what to paint next? Give the wheel a spin.

PAINT COLLECTION & PAINT RECIPES
Keep a paint inventory so you know which bottles are on your rack. Browse a catalog of 11,000+ paints and save painting and basing recipes for your units. Remember the colors and steps you used when it's time to paint the next squad. Hero adds recipes you can reuse across a whole army.

ARMY LISTS
Build 40K and Age of Sigmar lists with points and painting readiness alongside your collection. Import BattleScribe, New Recruit, or WH40K app lists, then see what you own and what you're missing. Export tournament PDFs when you're ready for a game.

HOBBY DESK TIMER
Log painting sessions with the desk timer and look back at the time you've spent on your models. Use batch painting projects to work through squads together.

SYNC ACROSS PHONE, TABLET & WEB
Sign in to keep your collection with you on iPhone, iPad, and the web. Check your backlog at the hobby shop and return to your recipes at the painting desk.

SHARE YOUR MINIATURES
Browse finished-model showcases and friend collections, share your progress, and join the Discord for work-in-progress chat.
