Xenith Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) I've stuck up a few images of my painting progress in my various project logs, and have frequently been asked where I found this marvellous painting tracker? The answer is Pile of potential - just log in and create projects, you can then select settings to determine the level of 'completeness' you find acceptable for your models, so I could remove the 'based' category there and my % complete would jump up. You can also plan army purchases etc and cross off when you have bought the models etc., though I don't use it for that. https://pileofpotential.com/ Anyway, I find it super useful, the obsessive cataloguer that I am (check my BA Chapter model listings in my Plog), hopefully you do too, and if you like it, maybe consider supporting the creator through their Patreon or similar. Have fun!

ZeroWolf Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I've been using them as well since I stumbled across them in April (might have even been one of your posts Xenith). As helpful as it is, it's also depressing when you see the percentages but its also very gratifying when you see it go up.

Xenith Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Haha, yea, I feel better when I remove the 'based' option, then it shoots up I've also cherry picked my near complete/complete project to save myself the shame ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379121-pile-of-potential-the-best-painting-tracker-ive-found/#findComment-5962872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhanist Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) I've been using pile of potential lately for keeping track of painting; it's very useful (I too think I might have got the idea from you Xenith!). I can recommend doing a collection of smaller projects rather than one big one so you don't get overwhelmed by the backlog! I'm also using trello.com as a precursor tool for tracking planned conversion and unit builds in more detail. i.e. where I'm pulling models from, and buying/printing the bits I need to convert them - mainly shoulderpads, but I've also got a number of dread conversions planned (progress details for a given model are inside the card). I must add magnetizing 2 squads of Death Company to fist/pistol and thunderhammers...

I've got mine separated by armies currently with a miscellaneous one for things that don't fit into the rest like my Rogue Trader harlequins Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379121-pile-of-potential-the-best-painting-tracker-ive-found/#findComment-5962934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Potato Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I’ve been using Figure Case, it does much the same thing except in iOS app form as opposed to online web based tracker. Syncs between my phone and iPad as well, some apps don’t even attempt to do that in this day and age. Great app. Xenith, Felix Antipodes and The Yncarne 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379121-pile-of-potential-the-best-painting-tracker-ive-found/#findComment-5963137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
