BIG PLANS.
SMALL POTS.

A miniature paint inventory for a rack that mixes brands. Search what you own, filter by range and find a way forward when a tutorial uses a paint you don’t have.

01 / Follow the recipe, use your rack

Use what you’ve got.

The tutorial calls for Evil Sunz Scarlet. Your collection has Demon Red. See that owned alternative first, with its published conversion source.

GOOD
QUESTIONS.

Need a hand?
Are the paint alternatives exact matches?

No. They’re practical guidance, prioritising published conversion charts and verified colour data where available. Finish, coverage, thinning and technique still matter.

Can I use it while following a tutorial?

Yes. Keep the original recipe, your chosen alternatives and the paints still missing together in a project, organised by painting step.

Can I use Hobby Rack as a Warhammer paint tracker?

Yes. Track a Citadel paint collection alongside Army Painter, Vallejo and other miniature ranges, and plan projects for an army or a single model. You can also hide Air paints if you don’t use an airbrush.

Do I need an account?

No. Start your rack without an account. Your collection stays on your device unless you enable iCloud sync with Plus.

Make something tiny. Make it yours.
