Scheme Advisor

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.

Battle Intelligence

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.

Scheme Vault

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.

Client CRM

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.

Live Game Module

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.

Stop Staring at Your Paints.
Start Knowing What to Do With Them.

Every hobbyist has a drawer full of paints and no idea where to start. Pro gives you a master painter in your pocket who knows exactly what you own.

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 knew what I actually owned. None of them could say "here's what you should do next."

"So I took a week off work and built one."

My name is Mike Washburn. 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 work at the intersection of emerging technology, education, and the idea that the best learning happens when it feels like play.

When my hobby started feeling overwhelming, I did what I apparently always do: I tried to design a solution.

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.

The Painting Ledger is a hobby management app built specifically for miniature painters. Track your backlog from grey plastic to finished showcase. Manage your paint arsenal with live swatches, stock alerts, and barcode scanning. Get AI-generated colour schemes built from the paints you already own -- not a generic guide that sends you back to the store.

We've shipped an Army Builder with a 1,400+ unit catalogue across all four Warhammer game systems, a Live Game Module that tracks your battles in real time and generates shareable battle reports, a full Commission Suite for painters who sell their work, and more -- with new features every week.

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

This is early days. The roadmap is ambitious and shaped entirely by the people using the app. If you have a feature idea, the Roadmap page has a community requests section -- every vote gets read, and the most-requested things get built first.

Commission Log

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.
