Scheme Advisor

You describe the miniature. We do the rest.

The Scheme Advisor doesn't give you a generic paint list copied from the internet. It reads your actual arsenal — every paint you own, every brand, every type — and builds a complete painting guide around what's already on your shelf. The paints you're missing become a shopping list, emailed to you with direct retailer links. This is what a master painter in your pocket actually looks like.

✓ Primer & Basecoats ✓ Shading & Washes ✓ Layering & Highlights ✓ Fine Details ✓ Basing ✓ Shopping List by Email

● LIVE DATA

Battle Intelligence

Community meta. Real games. Unfiltered data.

Every battle logged by The Painting Ledger community feeds this dashboard in real time. Faction win rates, matchup tables, points trends, and collection data — a window into how Warhammer is actually being played, not just theorised about.

◼ Faction Win Rates ◼ Matchup Matrix ◼ Collection Trends ◼ Points Analysis ◼ Your Personal Stats
Pro Feature

Scheme Vault

Every scheme you've ever generated. Ready the moment you pick up a brush.

Generate a scheme in the Advisor and save it here with one click. Your steps, materials list, and shopping list are preserved exactly as generated — no regenerating, no waiting, no API calls. Pull up any saved scheme the moment you sit down to paint and pick up exactly where you left off.

✓ Full step-by-step preserved ✓ Materials & shopping list intact ✓ Instant — no API call needed ✓ Unlimited saved schemes
Pro Feature

Client CRM

Know exactly who you're painting for, and what they've spent.

Every commission painter ends up with client details scattered across DMs, emails, and sticky notes. The Client CRM puts everything in one place — contact info, full commission history, total lifetime spend, and notes. Know instantly that this is Dave's fourth commission before you even reply.

✓ Contact details ✓ Full commission history ✓ Lifetime spend ✓ Notes per client
Battle Tracker

Live Game Module

Open this when you sit down to play.

Live score tracking, phase management, objective cards, and real-time army management during the match. When the battle's over it generates a full shareable battle report saved to your profile.

✓ 40K, AoS, Old World, Horus Heresy ✓ Full battle log & shareable report ✓ Saved to your profile history

What's Coming
Major Features on the Horizon
These are the big ones. The features that will make The Painting Ledger something no other hobby app comes close to.
📱
Android App
Free
A dedicated Android app built from the ground up. Barcode scanning that works natively on mobile, the full paint arsenal and backlog at your fingertips, and the Scheme Advisor ready whenever inspiration strikes at the hobby table.
Why it matters: the browser is good, but a real app is faster, smoother, and always one tap away. No more “add to home screen” workarounds.
🏆
Tournament Module
★ Pro
Built for organizers and players alike. Run structured Warhammer tournaments with bracket management, round pairings, and live standings. Connects directly to the Live Game Module so every match is tracked automatically. Players see their schedule, opponents see each other's army lists, and the organizer sees everything.
Why it matters: tournament organization is still being done on spreadsheets and paper. This brings it into the app where your whole hobby life already lives.
🌟
Profile Showcase
Free
Public profiles are getting a full upgrade. Painted minis will link to the unit database so visitors can see exactly what you built. Progress photos display directly in the unit modal. A shareable Painter Rank badge card for posting to Reddit and Instagram. Army showcase grouping by faction. And a "currently painting" section so your profile always shows what's on the desk.
Why it matters: a profile that shows your actual work -- photos, schemes, units -- is something worth sharing. This turns The Painting Ledger into your hobby portfolio.
🎉
Milestone Share Cards
Free
When you hit a milestone -- 100th mini painted, first army to full readiness, Gold Painter Rank -- the app generates a branded share card on the spot. One tap to post to Reddit, Instagram, or Bluesky. These are the posts that build communities. "I just painted my 100th mini" writes itself.
Why it matters: the best marketing is a hobbyist genuinely proud of their progress. This gives them the tool to show it off in one tap.
💼
Commission Business Suite
★ Pro
A full upgrade to the Commission Suite that turns it into a proper business tool for painters who take their work seriously. Four phases of expansion:

Line items and proper invoices. Replace the single-fee invoice with a real document -- sequential invoice numbers, itemised line items, optional tax/VAT field. Valid in any jurisdiction. Built on the existing jsPDF invoice system.

Expense tracker. Log every business expense by category: paints, tools, shipping, software, education. Receipt photo upload. The other side of your P&L that's currently missing entirely.

P&L view and year-end export. Monthly profit and loss table by tax year. One-tap export to a PDF your accountant can read, plus CSVs for Wave, FreeAgent, or QuickBooks.

Commission portfolio mode. A toggle that turns your public profile into a client-facing portfolio. Showcases your best work with finish level labels. Clients browse and contact you directly.
Why it matters: commission painters currently juggle Instagram for portfolio, spreadsheets for tracking, and email for clients -- and still panic at tax time. This replaces all of it.
The Painting Ledger

Built by a hobbyist.
For hobbyists.

A growing pile of unpainted kits. A drawer full of paints I couldn't keep track of. No clear idea where to start. I paint Warhammer miniatures — have for years — and like every hobbyist, I'd tried the available tools. None of them really fit how I actually worked at the painting desk.

— so I took a week off work and built one.

Mike Washburn
Founder & Hobbyist

By day I'm the Director of Learning Experiences at Logics Academy, where I design programs that help people go from "I don't get it" to "I've got this." I spend my time at the intersection of education, technology, and the belief that the best learning feels like play.

When my hobby started feeling overwhelming, I did what I apparently always do — I tried to design a way out of the mess.

I'm not a professional developer. I'm a hobbyist who got obsessed with an idea and refused to let it stay in a notebook. The Painting Ledger started as a problem I wanted to solve for myself. It turned into something I'm genuinely proud of — every line written by hand, every decision made at the painting desk.

What's Inside

A complete hobby management system, designed for the way miniature painters actually work — from sprue to showcase.

Backlog
Sprue to Showcase

Track every kit through the stages you actually paint in — primed, base, layer, highlights, basing, done.

Paints
Your Whole Arsenal

Live swatches, low-stock alerts, and barcode scanning. Know what you own before you walk into the store.

Schemes
Built From Your Shelf

Plan colour schemes around the bottles you already own — no shopping list of paints you don't have.

Army Builder
1,400+ Units

A full unit catalogue across all four Warhammer game systems, kept current as factions change.

Live Game
Track & Share Battles

Log a battle in real time and walk away with a shareable battle report when the last model falls.

Commissions
Run Your Studio

A full commission suite for painters who sell their work — quotes, clients, invoicing, the lot.

Built by a hobbyist, for hobbyists. That shapes every decision.

What's Next
Shaped by the people using it.

This is early days. The roadmap is ambitious and entirely shaped by the community. Every feature request gets read, every vote counts, and the most-wanted things get built first.

Commission Log

Your hobby is a business. Start treating it like one.

Every painter who takes commissions knows the chaos — quotes in DMs, payments in emails, deadlines in your head. The Commission Log puts it all in one place. Track every client, every fee, every deadline, and every payment so you always know exactly where you stand and never leave money on the table. Paid, pending, and total earnings at a glance. Know your numbers without opening a spreadsheet.

✓ Client Tracking ✓ Fee & Payment Logging ✓ Deadline Management ✓ Earnings Overview ✓ Status Workflow ✓ Time & Rate Calculator ✓ Client Invoicing
