WARHAMMER 40,000 ROSTERS & BATTLES Build and validate army lists, then run the game from setup to final score, all in one place. BattleBase is built for matched play with current mission packs, and stays in sync across phones, tablets, and the web. ROSTER BUILDER Create BattleBase rosters with detachment rules, validations, tags, and filters. Browse faction datasheets, run Mathhammer on your units, print or share lists, and export to Yellowscribe for Tabletop Simulator. Import lists from other builders when you already have a list elsewhere. GUIDED BATTLE SETUP Choose battle size, attach rosters, pick your mission pack, deployment, and terrain layout, set secondary objectives, deploy, decide who goes first, and work through pre-battle steps—then start the battle when you’re ready. PHASE-BY-PHASE CONTROL Move through each battle round and phase the way the rules expect. Score primary and secondary objectives at the right times, handle mission-specific steps, and keep both players aligned on what happens next. VICTORY POINT SCORING Tap to award primary and secondary VP when it’s legal. Track totals and per-objective progress during the game, including limits and end-of-battle scoring where the mission requires it. COMMAND POINTS & STRATAGEMS Gain CP at the start of your turn, see what you can spend, and activate stratagems for the current phase with one tap. Per-phase limits help prevent double-spending the same stratagem. CONNECT WITH FRIENDS Link battles to player accounts, compare head-to-head history, and follow friends’ public games in the activity feed. BATTLE EVENT LOGS & PHOTOS Review stratagems, scoring, CP changes, and other events in order. Add battlefield photos to the log as the game unfolds. BATTLE HISTORY & STATS Browse past games with names, scores, and events. View personal stats such as win–loss and average points on your profile. SHARED EXPERIENCE Both players see the same battle state—objectives, VP, CP, secondaries, and relevant stratagem info—so you’re never arguing over the scoreboard. MULTI-DEVICE SUPPORT Run the battle on a laptop or tablet at the table, on each player’s phone, or all at once. BattleBase keeps every device in sync. DICE ROLLER Roll large batches quickly, with rerolls and sustained hits when you need them. CHESS TIMER Use pass-and-pause timing for practice games or tournament prep—or so you actually finish before dinner. LIVESTREAM OVERLAY Copy an OBS-friendly overlay during setup or in-game to show scores and battle info on Twitch, YouTube, and similar platforms. RULES & REFERENCE Browse 11th edition core rules, mission packs, deployments, and missions in the app. Search factions, datasheets, players, and more from the global search tab. COMMUNITY Discover events and gaming locations, view global and faction rankings, and join leagues for ongoing competition with your group (league creation and several advanced tools are part of BattleBase Supporter). BATTLEBASE SUPPORTER Optional subscription unlocks extras such as army galleries, unlimited battle photos, King of the Colosseum, league management, deployment practice, early access features, and more—while helping fund ongoing development. …and much more!

Predink transforms a simple gesture into a mystical and poetic experience. Shake your phone: based on your movement, Predink generates a unique inkblot, inspired by the famous Rorschach tests. Each shake—its rhythm, force, and direction—shapes a form that no one else will ever see. Then the oracle takes the stage. Predink interprets your blot and delivers a three-part reading: • a poetic description of what the shape evokes, • a symbolic interpretation of what it reveals about your present moment, • a benevolent prediction for the days ahead. A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME No two smudges are alike. Your gesture becomes a fingerprint; your shape becomes a mirror. YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY Find all your smudges and their meanings in your personal journal, and observe how your readings evolve over time. PREDINK PRO Upgrade to Predink Pro to unlock all meanings without limits and explore the oracle as often as you like. The subscription renews automatically; it will continue unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY Predink is designed for entertainment, self-reflection, and the joy of discovery. The interpretations are in no way intended as medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. Shake. Discover. Let it speak.
