BattleGuildBATTLEGUILD

Free tier, no card required

Coaching shouldn't live in DMs, spreadsheets and three logging apps.

BattleGuild is a web app for competitive tabletop wargaming. Coaches manage a roster of trainees, review the battles those trainees log, and send back structured feedback. Players log battles and track their own stats for free, with or without a coach. Works with Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and any game system you define yourself.

Not a coach? Log your battles free, forever.

BattleGuild coach dashboard: active trainees, pending logs, guild win rate and the trainee roster.

The coach dashboard: your roster, pending logs and guild win rate in one view.

How coaching works

Your roster, your queue, your words. One platform.

Coaches run BattleGuild end to end: register trainees, read the battles they log, and send back feedback attached to the game it's about.

01

Build your roster

Invite trainees by email, or add walk-in and club players yourself and log battles on their behalf.

02

Work the review queue

Every battle and list a trainee logs lands in one queue: score, factions, army lists, photos and their own reflections.

03

Leave feedback that sticks

Write the review, drop in saved snippets for the notes you give every week, and the trainee reads it in their inbox.

Review queue

One queue instead of five chat threads

New battles arrive marked NEW with the trainee, the opponent and the faction they faced. Open it, review it, clear it. Nothing gets lost in a DM you forgot to scroll back to.

Snippet packs ship with the app: common mistakes, phase-by-phase notes, post-game review prompts, tournament prep. You can save your own too, tagged and searchable.

Coaching as a side hustle

Start with two trainees, no card required

If you're building a coaching business, the free tier is a real one: two trainees, the full dashboard, the review queue, stats and photo attachments. Take on your first paying players before you spend anything.

When word gets around, Premium lifts the cap to unlimited trainees for €19 a month, with a 14-day free trial. Established coaches get the same thing from day one: every trainee's win rate, streaks and matchups in front of them instead of buried in a spreadsheet.

Trainee stats: total games, win rate, wins and losses, recent battles and army lists.

For players

Win rate by matchup. Streaks. A season that adds up.

A spreadsheet holds your results. BattleGuild turns them into faction-vs-faction records, streaks and per-list win rates that sharpen every time you play, with the data thresholds stated rather than faked.

Logging is the mechanism: factions, mission, deployment, primary and secondary scoring, CP, photos and the reflections you write while the game is fresh. Each battle links to the army list you took, so every list carries its own record.

Free, and it needs no coach. Coaching is invite-based today: your coach enters your email, you get an invite link valid for 14 days, and once you accept you're linked, and they can see your battles and leave feedback.

Player battle log: dated games with scores and VICTORY or DEFEAT badges.
Army lists stored in BattleGuild, each with its own battle count and win rate.

What's in the app

Built for dense game data, not for scrapbooking

Battle logs with the whole scoresheet

Mission and deployment, primary and secondary VP, CP spent, tournament tags, photo attachments and your own post-game reflections.

Army lists that carry a record

Gladius Spearhead: 6 battles, 67% win rate. Attach a list to a battle and its record builds itself, list by list.

Matchups once the data is real

Faction-vs-faction records need 3+ games against that faction, matchup stats 5+ overall. The app says so instead of guessing.

Any game system

Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar out of the box. Coaches define custom systems and fields for anything else they teach.

Players don't pay. Coaches pay when they grow.

About

Why this exists

Coaching a tabletop wargame today means a list as a PDF, a battle summary as a screenshot, the conversation in DMs, and a spreadsheet someone retypes results into. I've been on both sides of that, and it stops working past a few trainees.

BattleGuild puts the whole loop in one place: log, review, feedback, stats.

Built and run by one person. Questions go to support@battleguild.app.

FAQ

Questions worth answering first

Do I need a coach to use it?

No. The battle logger, army lists and stats work on their own, free. A coach adds structured feedback on top.

Do I need a card for the trial?

Yes. Premium starts with a 14-day free trial, but checkout takes your card up front so billing can start automatically when the trial ends. Cancel any time before day 14 and you won't be charged. The Free plan never asks for a card, it doesn't go through checkout at all.

Which game systems are supported?

Warhammer 40,000 ships first-class: full faction lists, the official mission deck, primary and secondary scoring. Age of Sigmar is supported too, and coaches can define custom systems for any other miniatures game.

How do players connect to a coach?

Usually your coach invites you: they enter your email, and you get an invite link that's valid for 14 days. Click it and either sign in or create your account right there, and once you accept you're linked to your coach and they can see your battles and leave feedback.

Is it really free for players?

Yes. Players never pay to log battles, store lists or read their coach's feedback.

Can I coach as a side hustle?

That's what the free tier is for. Two trainees, no card, the full coach toolkit. Move to Premium when you outgrow it.

Can I define my own game system?

Coaches can. Create a system, pick the fields it tracks, and log battles against it like any other.

Do trainees need to pay?

No. Your trainees use the free player app; the coach subscription covers the roster.

Is my data private?

Your battles are yours. A coach sees only the battles of trainees linked to them. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
