War Room is the first official utility app released for WARMACHINE and HORDES. The app developed by TinkerHouse Games puts an extensive library of WARMACHINE and HORDES stat cards in the palm of players’ hands and gives them access to a wealth of features intended to facilitate faster and easier gameplay. In addition, users will receive regular news and rules updates from Privateer Press straight to their mobile devices.

- Full Card Display: Model stat cards are shown exactly as they are printed, so players can reference them easily and with the same confidence as printed cards.
- Army Creation Workshop: Players can select their faction and game size and then choose their warcasters or warlocks, warjacks or warbeasts, units, solos, and battle engines to create army lists—all within the War Room application.
- In-Game Damage Tracking: In-game damage tracking will give players immediate and easily accessible information on every fighting model in their command.
- Rules Reference: A built-in comprehensive rules reference allows players to check any rule quickly and easily and get back to the game.
- In-Game List Sharing: Lists will be sharable between every player using War Room in the same game so they can quickly access each other’s model status and abilities, allowing players to keep their focus on the tabletop action.
- Turn Clock: This optional player-initiated feature allows players to keep individual turns fast but fairly apportioned.

The base app is a free download and includes all the stat cards from WARMACHINE: Prime Mk II and HORDES: Primal Mk II. It also includes model stat cards from the WARMACHINE Two-Player Battle Box and a special selection of Mercenary, Minion, and Retribution of Scyrah models.
Full faction decks for both WARMACHINE and HORDES will be available as additional downloads for $6.99. Every deck will include all currently released stat cards for that faction as well as new model updates for the life of the current rules set.

After the last update, I am no longer able to log into my account. Thank you very much


Server cannot be reached...still
Mattdayton

My rating is based on what I think the app will be like based on the video that PP posted on their website. Seems really good. But so far, I cannot even get logged in. Its been a few hours now..


DO NOT UPDATE
Benjamin Farmer

Updated to 1.3 and now i can do anything with the app. It requires I log in to update card data - to servers I can't connect to. Congrats PP. You literally made this app completely unusable.


Did a blind monkey test this?
Ragnaroknrol

Version 1.2 may have lacked a lot of features we wanted, BUT AT LEAST IT RAN. This version is horrible. 1: taking 10 hours of constant trying just to log into their system to update the card data set is unacceptable. It not working unless you did is means it was not working. 2: after it updated the thing hung up on validation CONSTANTLY. Can't very well make an army when it is spinning for 10 minutes doing the ONE thing that was important in the update. 3: it can't even make simple armies as it is hanging up in every list. Fix this. I liked it a lot before, but it is not worth spending money on right now.


Awful--embarrassment
AgeOfEgos

Other companies beware that are considering having this development studio write their app--if this app is indicative of the quality of their work--run. Poorly optimized code, crashes, no feedback, updates cause more breaks than fixes---just awful. Privateer get your money back--this studio is completely incompetentj.


Upsidedown
knives&sharpsticks

The app runs upsidedown, what more is there to be said.


Help!
Aameul

I enjoyed using the app before update on my iPad 1, now I am unable to load any of my armies. I am also unable to build new armies, the load icon just keeps on spinning. My roommate downloaded update as well and is unable to use it on his new iPhone.


No Warbeasts
Crashes1

After the update I can no longer find the Warbeasts category when building an army. It makes it hard to build an army without Warbeasts. Before the update it was a great app. Drop this app developer.


Nice improvements, but...
SkeletonGrin

I had not received a lot of the issues others did on install with my ipad air or iphone 4s. Also i like a lot of the fixes and improvements to the program but on more extensive use i find i must eat my earlier words of praise. There are still some stability issues that will cause the need for full reboot of the ios. Also few of us tried several times to create a multiplayer battle with no success. Its a step in the right direction but its still runs like a poor beta even though its been fully released for a year or so.


QA fail!
QAman

Ok so my initial 2 stars was harsh. This app does work and do its job however QA was lacking and ease of use was not thought out. My initial impression was that, my Army / cards which I purchased could not be pointed out, viewed, or was crashing the app. However it was the lack of intuitive UI that threw me off. After playing with it for some time I can see how it works. The devs have made some effort to educate with screen pointers, thus my three stars instead of two.
