HobbyArmory
Five real stages
Bought, built, primed, painted, finished. The states the hobby actually has, not a single done checkbox.
Paint Tracker
Every mini, from sprue to shelf.
Painting progress is invisible while you are doing it. A month of evenings feels like nothing until you count what actually got finished. HobbyArmory gives every miniature a status, then turns those statuses into a picture of the year.

Five stages, because the hobby has five stages
A miniature is not either done or not done. It is bought, then built, then primed, then painted, and then finished, and most collections have models sitting at every one of those points at once. HobbyArmory tracks all five, per miniature, not per box.
That last part matters more than it sounds. If you have painted six of a ten model squad, a tracker that only knows about boxes will call the box unpainted, which is both wrong and demoralising. Here the squad reads as six painted and four to go, because each model carries its own status.
- Bought, built, primed, painted, finished, set on each miniature individually
- Status changes flow through to your armies, your wishlist and your progress automatically
- Filter your collection by status to find what is primed and waiting
- Add your own photos so the models you see are yours, not stock shots
Goals that make the month visible
Set a monthly goal for how many miniatures you want to build, paint or finish. The app tracks it against what you actually did, so halfway through the month you know whether you are on pace or whether the goal was optimistic. There is a painting streak too, counting the days you kept it moving.
The chart is the point
Over a year the activity chart fills in, month by month, with your goal line drawn across it. This is the thing people do not expect to care about and then check every week. It turns a hobby that feels like it never progresses into one with visible, countable output, and it is the fastest way to see that the pile is actually shrinking.
It runs off your collection, so there is no data entry
You never type a model name. Every Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar set is already in the app, including the individual miniatures inside each box, so you add a set by searching for it and the tracker has everything it needs. From there it connects to the rest: the army builder knows which models in a list are painted, and your paint recipes pin to the models you finished.
What you get
What the paint tracker actually does
Progress tracking that reflects how a real collection moves.
Per miniature, not per box
Set a status on each model in a set on its own, so a half painted squad reads as a half painted squad.
Monthly goals
Say how many you mean to build, paint or finish this month, and see whether you are on pace.
Activity chart
A year view that fills in as you work, with your goal line drawn across it.
Painting streak
A running count of the days you kept it going, which is a surprisingly effective way to keep going.
Achievements
Milestones tied to your real collection, unlocked as it grows and as more of it gets finished.
FAQ
Paint Tracker questions
Is there an app to track Warhammer painting progress?
Yes. HobbyArmory is a Warhammer paint tracker that gives every miniature one of five statuses: bought, built, primed, painted or finished. It has monthly goals, a year activity chart and a painting streak. It is free during the beta on Android and iOS.
Can I track each miniature separately, not just the box?
Yes. Every set lists the individual miniatures inside it and each one carries its own paint status, so a part painted squad shows up as exactly that.
Do I have to type in my miniatures?
No. Every current Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar set is already in the database, down to the miniatures in each box. You search for a set, add it, and the tracker has everything it needs.
Can I set painting goals?
Yes. You can set a monthly goal for how many models you want to build, paint or finish, and the app tracks your real output against it, including a painting streak.
Does it show progress over a whole year?
Yes. There are year and quarter activity charts with your goal line drawn across them, so you can see the months you painted and the months you did not.
Does the paint tracker work with Age of Sigmar?
Yes. Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar are both fully supported, with The Old World and Horus Heresy in development.
