When Brushrage is still the right pick

If you already have a deep paint collection, a clear opinion on how to organize it, and you want maximum configurability on mobile, Brushrage rewards that investment. Power users genuinely love it.

BattleReady is a better fit if you want to start with the army you are actually building, get a project-aware shopping list on day one, and have the option of using a real web app — not just a mobile screen.
