### 3/5 — Paint Tutorials

*2026-07-26, version 3.45.0*

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 :(

### 3/5 — Edit 3: he’s been around for awhile, where is he???

*2026-07-23, version 3.45.0*

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???

### 4/5 — Great app, needs more features

*2026-07-02*

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.

### 5/5 — Paint inventory

*2026-06-25, version 3.44.0*

Please update paint by model guide with 360 view of model and contrast painting guide

### 3/5 — Pas d’export de sa liste de pots

*2026-06-17*

On ne peut exporter que notre wishlist, c’est dommage, exporter sa propre liste de pots possédés est tellement plus utile. On est pas passer loin d’une bonne application.
mais en l’état, c’est inexploitable et très bof.
Passez votre chemin pour le moment.

### 3/5 — 需要对比漆指南 Need of Contrast Paint Guide

*2026-06-09*

以前某个版本这个app还有对比漆的指南，为什么后来更新了没有了？ This App used to has a Contrast Paint Guide, but since an Update sometime it is deleted, WHY??

### 3/5 — Not a one stop shop

*2026-06-08, version 3.43.0*

Keeping this brief, it’s okay. The project planning stuff is quite good, but what is lacking are the actual paint guides. Far too vague, with single image references (what does the back of a dreadnaught look like?) mean that if you’re aiming for “parade ready” step by step, you’ll still have to look elsewhere for a proper guide. I understand it would probably take a dedicated team to build it out but at least include it for your launch box models.

### 4/5 — Edit 2: Missing some cool models

*2026-06-01, version 3.43.0*

FINALLY
My glorious king Szahrek, the Silent King is here. Thank you

BUT
where’s the Master of Possession? I love that dude

### 4/5 — Edit: Noice

*2026-05-18, version 3.43.0*

FINALLY
My glorious king Szahrek, the Silent King is here. Thank you

Still great app. Nothing new for me to add.

### 5/5 — Room for improvement

*2026-04-11, version 3.42.0*

I downloaded this as a way of tracking my paint collection and making lists for when I’m in the store. I love that I can print my wishlist but could you make it so that we can print our inventory too?
