One place for the whole hobby

Keep the model, the memory, and the plan together

Connect physical models, kitbashing bits, paint and basing recipes, photos, progress, and game rosters without rebuilding the context in another tool.

01 · Box Set Imports

Add entire boxes in one tap

Bring in a Combat Patrol, Spearhead, or Battleforce without typing dozens of miniature names by hand. Accurate starting points, model counts, and unit profiles unpack instantly.

  • 40K Combat Patrols and AoS Spearheads
  • Automatic model counts and datasheet profiles
  • Unbox, assemble, prime, and paint as a cohesive set
Box sets with linked units and painting progress Box sets with linked units and painting progress
02 · The Kitbasher's Drawer

Track spare bits & leftover sprues

Catalog loose weapons, alternative heads, and cut sprues in a dedicated stash. Keep component counts, kit sources, estimated values, and project notes organized for kitbashes.

  • Sprue & bits stash with counts and kit sources
  • Record part types, estimated value, and custom notes
  • First-class companion for kitbashers and converters
03 · Game Rules Integration

Know what you own before you build your list

Bridge the gap between army rosters and physical models. Import New Recruit or BattleScribe rosters, compare each unit with your chosen collection goal, and see what is ready for game night.

  • Import BattleScribe (.rosz) and New Recruit (.json)
  • Automatic points calculations from bundled community-maintained data
  • Spot collection gaps and add shortfalls to your wishlist
Army lists with points, value, and completion Army lists with points, value, and completion

Keep step-by-step paint and basing recipes beside the miniatures on your bench. Photos and WIP timelines preserve the visual record, while Today keeps your next useful action close.

  • Step-by-step paint and basing recipes you can copy and share
  • Batch projects to paint squads efficiently
  • Progress photos, session timers, and next-action suggestions

Why painters switch

Ditch the spreadsheet. Skip single-platform lock-in.

Most hobbyists juggle messy spreadsheets or locked single-platform apps. Hobby Dataslate gives you the complete workbench with zero lock-in.

vs. Spreadsheets

Less manual bookkeeping

Spreadsheets are flexible, but manual row-by-row data entry, custom formula upkeep, and navigating desktop grids on a phone at the paint desk take real effort.

  • Bundled 40K & AoS points calculation
  • One-tap mobile logging at the painting desk
  • Export your collection anytime as JSON or PDF
vs. iOS-Only Apps

Cross-platform flexibility

Apps like Figure Case look great on an iPhone, but there is no way to reach your collection from an Android tablet or a desktop browser.

  • Cloud account sync across Android, iOS & Web
  • Built-in unit catalogs & box sets
  • Dedicated sprue & bits stash for kitbashers
vs. Paint-Only Tools

Connect paints to actual armies

Bottle databases like paintRack are great for swatch matching and have model-linked recipe sets of their own — but they are not built around your Combat Patrols, assembly pipeline, or tournament army lists.

  • Paint recipes tied directly to your units
  • Assembly, priming & varnishing pipeline
  • Batch squad workflows with desk timers
Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Everything hobbyists ask before keeping their collection in a dataslate.

Can I decide what “done” means for my collection?

Yes. Choose the completion stage that fits your hobby — Built, Playable, Finished, or another supported goal — and Hobby Dataslate measures progress against that target. Your pile of potential can still be part of the joke; it is not a judgment about how you enjoy your models.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes — Hobby Dataslate is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. It's also available on Google Play for Android and as a web app that runs in any mobile or desktop browser, including Safari.

Is Hobby Dataslate an official Games Workshop app?

No. Hobby Dataslate is an unofficial, fan-made hobby tool and is completely independent — not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Games Workshop. Datasheet, warscroll, and box data are community-maintained.

Does it support Age of Sigmar as well as Warhammer 40K?

Yes. Track both systems in one collection: filter Collection by All / 40K / AoS, add Spearhead boxes alongside Combat Patrols, and build Age of Sigmar 4th-edition regiment lists. Paints, desk time, stash, and spending stay shared across both games.

How much does it cost?

Free forever for up to 100 units and 5 armies, with imports, achievements, desk sessions, activity, and repairs included. Premium ($1/mo) removes collection and friend caps and adds photo journals, gallery tools, and public sharing; Hero ($5/mo) adds advanced stats, showcases, and cosmetics.

Can I import my BattleScribe or New Recruit lists?

Yes — import BattleScribe (.rosz), New Recruit (.json), or a CSV from Google Sheets or Excel. Imported lists show what you already own versus what the list still needs, and you can add the shortfall to your wishlist in one tap.

Can I track my paints and recipes too?

Yes — keep a paint inventory with almost-empty flags, build per-unit paint recipes you can copy as text, and log desk time with painting sessions. Batch projects keep whole squads moving through the same stages together.

Do I need an account?

No — guest mode works instantly in the browser and on device; sign in later with Google or Apple to sync across devices without losing data.

Can I export my data or delete my account?

Yes — custom JSON data export remains available on Free, alongside tournament and insurance valuation PDFs. You can delete your account and all data from Settings or the website's delete-account page.
