How Liber Pigmenta works
Short answers to the questions painters actually ask about tracking a collection: what a scheme is and how it differs from a recipe, what the six statuses on the board mean, how paint equivalents are graded, and exactly what becomes public when you share something. One topic per page.
Getting started
Pile of Shame vs Library
Two views of one collection: the Pile is the board you work from, the Library is the reference you have gathered on the same models.
Recipe vs Colour scheme
A scheme says which paint goes where. A recipe is a written guide someone else wrote. You can paint from either.
Guest mode
You can build a pile before you make an account. Here is what is kept, and what happens when you sign up.
Your collection
Statuses and WIP stages
The six columns on your board, what moves a card between them, and how to hide the ones you do not use.
Armies and battle readiness
Rosters, points, proxies — and why an army shows you two different progress numbers.
Painting
Painting sessions
Starting a session, tracking steps across a squad, the timer, and how a session ends.
Progress, streaks and achievements
How a streak is earned and lost, what unlocks an achievement, and how the leaderboard works.
Community challenges
Dreadtober, Squaduary and the like — how a challenge counts your models, and what joining puts on the board.
Paints
Your paint collection
Owned versus wishlist, how paints are classified, adding your own, and asking for a missing one.
Paint equivalents and the converter
What a match score means, why "exact" is not always exact, and what the public converter is for.
Schemes
Sharing and privacy
Sharing a scheme
What a share link contains, what it does not, and what happens when someone saves your scheme.
What becomes public
Nothing, until you say so. Here is each thing you can publish and how to take it back.
Stop keeping the pile in your head
Every page here describes something you can try in about a minute. Put one model in a pile, tick the paints you own, and see what the rest of it needs.
