Works for any system: Horus HeresyWarhammer 40,000Age of SigmarKill TeamBolt ActionYour house rules
Warhost was built for Warzone Houston, a 40 player, 20 table, 5 round Horus Heresy narrative event. Then other tournament organizers asked for the same app.

Less running around

Results come in from both players, Warhost pairs the next round, and you stop chasing slips around the room.

Happier players

Players can always see pairings, never repeat an opponent or table, and get credit for their hobby work.

Any game system

Run Horus Heresy, Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Bolt Action and more from one app.

Features

Everything a T.O. needs, nothing a player has to install

Players open a link on their phone. You get an admin panel that does the boring parts.

Pairings without rematches

Round 1 is random or seeded, followed by Swiss pairings with no rematches and no repeated tables or missions. Optional two sided events pair opposite sides when numbers allow.

Two reports, one result

Both players report after each game, with no paper slips to collect. Matching reports confirm the result, and mismatches are flagged as disputed for a judge to settle.

The hobby counts too

Players rate their opponents from 1 to 10 on painting and conversions, lore and fluff, army list creativity, and sportsmanship. They also rate the table terrain and the mission.

Awards ready to announce

Warhost calculates Best General, Best Painted, Best Fluff, Most Creative List, Best Sportsmanship, and an overall award blending generalship with hobby scores. You set the weights.

Profiles in faction colors

Each profile shows a player's side, faction, bio and uploaded army list. A public players page lists the whole field.

Keep the story going

Update the story page between rounds and set a mission for every table. A running war tally shows which side is ahead. Standings stay sealed until you reveal them.

How it works

Three steps from sign up to trophies

Set up your event

Give your event its own site with your logo, colors and theme. Add your story, missions and sponsors, and players get profiles with their army lists.

Run the day

Warhost builds Swiss pairings each round, with table rotation and no rematches. Players report results on their phones, and any mismatch is flagged for you to settle.

Reveal and celebrate

Standings stay sealed until you reveal them, so the room finds out together. Hobby scores and awards are calculated automatically.

FAQ

Questions organizers ask

Which game systems does Warhost work with?

Any tabletop wargame. We built it first for a Horus Heresy narrative event, but nothing in it is tied to one system.

Do players need to install anything?

No. Warhost is a web app, so players open your event site in their phone's browser.

How do disputes work?

After each game, both players report the result on their phones, and the game is confirmed when the two reports match. If only one player has reported, the game counts but shows as waiting for the opponent. If the reports disagree, the game is automatically marked disputed, does not count, and shows up red in the organizer's admin panel until a judge sets the result.

Can I override anything?

Yes, you run the event, not the software. From the admin panel you can set or override pairings, results, sides, factions and scores, settle disputes, and decide when to reveal the standings.

Who owns the data, and can I back it up?

You do. You can download a full backup of your event data at any time, during the event or after.

Can I use my own domain and branding?

Yes. Every event gets its own site with your logo, colors and theme, at an address like yourevent.warhost.app. Your own domain is available on request.

How far ahead should I book?

At least one month before your event. That leaves time to brand your site, write your story and mission pages, and send the link to players. Bookings with less than one month to go carry a 25% rush fee. For a custom build, talk to us earlier.

What if the venue Wi-Fi is bad?

Warhost needs an internet connection. Phones on mobile data work fine, so players do not have to rely on the venue Wi-Fi. If mobile signal is weak too, fall back on the printable slips and sheets and run the round on paper.

About

Made by people who run events

We are Pathfinder Marketing, a small marketing and software shop in Austin, Texas. We first built Warhost for Warzone Houston, a 40 player, 20 table, 5 round Horus Heresy narrative event.

Then other organizers asked for the same thing. Warhost is our answer: one tool for any game system, a site for every event, and data that stays with the organizer. We look after the software so you can look after your players.

Get started

Spend the day at the tables

Add players in bulk, share the link, and keep standings hidden until you are ready to reveal them. We will set up a demo site for your event and walk you through it.
