If the site looks different today: that is intentional. Pile of Shame has been rebuilt from the ground up — same community, fresh paint. The biggest changes:

A new look

A dark, image-first design that finally puts your painted miniatures in the spotlight. The site is fast, works great on your phone and is available in English and German.

Units instead of single models

Five Necron Warriors are no longer five separate entries. A unit holds a quantity and a status distribution — "3 painted, 2 in progress" — so batch painting is finally represented the way you actually work. Your existing models were migrated automatically.

Better photo uploads

Drag and drop your photos, see previews before posting, and crop or rotate them right in the browser. Galleries open in a proper lightbox instead of a raw image file.

Find everything

The new global search finds models, painters and projects from anywhere. System pages like Warhammer 40k now let you browse by faction — perfect for getting inspiration for your army.

And under the hood

The whole platform was upgraded to the latest technology, cleaned up and made a lot faster. If you spot anything odd, let us know — and now: back to the brushes! 🖌️
