User reviews

Great for beginners!

This app is a great start for beginners just starting their Warhammer hobby journey. Handy functions like a paint inventory/wishlist and the ability to have multiple projects make organization much easier.

With that said, there are three things I’d love to see added:

1. 3D images for the models. The Warhammer website has this function already, and it’s disappointing that I have to continuously bounce out of the app, into the web to see how I need to paint the tops of heads and the backs of models.

2. The ability to sync my paint inventory, wishlist, and projects in iCloud so I can access them across multiple devices. Having my paint wishlist on my phone is fantastic if I need to pop by the local GW store to replenish or add paints to my collection, but I prefer to use the iPad for viewing a reference image of my model while painting. Syncing all this data to iCloud so I can access it all across my devices would be an excellent addition!

3. Categories for box sets. For example, I am currently working on the Armageddon 11th Edition launch box. It would be awesome if I could add the box as a project. This would also be very handy when working on any multi-model sets.

Bonus request: a true landscape mode for the iPad version of the app would be amazing!

Overall, I’ve had a great experience using this app, but I believe adding these three features would make for a true 5-star experience.

Why force me to browser

Why can’t I watch painting tutorials through the app anymore? Dumb change.

Paint Tutorials

Bring back the in app tutorials I don’t want to go to “WARHAMMER academy” and then have to sign in to a “my WARHAMMER account” I just want to learn how to use different paints to paint my poor gray orcs :(

Edit 3: he’s been around for awhile, where is he???

Three words.
MASTER
OF
POSSESSION.
Such a cool model but…
Where is he? It’s been about 2 editions (6ish years) since his release (I believe) and he’s not in this app. Like what??? We have all the new 11th edition models but not the MASTER OF POSSESION???

Great app, needs more features

This app has single handily guided me through starting my first army and learning to paint Warhammer miniatures. Being able to create an inventory and wish-list is very helpful in organisation and tracking what paints you own and what paints you need/want.
I have 4 stars as great as the app is - there is something to be desired.

1. A 360 degree photo of the miniatures would benefit great or atleast multiple photos of the miniatures - sometimes I feel like I have to just guess what colours are required at the back of the model.

2. Zoom, let us zoom into the photos.

3. Variations of colour schemes - keeping to the colour scheme is important to me but it would helpful ie - edge highlight black with Eshin Grey or Dark Reaper - which in turn pairs with these second highlights etc

4. More models for factions - it’s limited. Compatible models are missing some faction schemes.
