Two things I really appreciated about your approach - ONE, the design evolved as you painted (the armor shifted into full-on verdigris) and TWO - you aren't limiting yourself to one set or brand of paints (use this paint, or any orange you have). Thank you.
That Is The Best parliament ever looked..... You remind me of someone..... Lady Space Patrol....... Maybe i'm just insane, actually i'm sure i am, my therapist said so. Never-the-less, loving the videos, even happier your a Canadian Treasure! Please lets see more of the coppery colour pallet!
Favorite bit is how “grungy” it looks, like they have been in so some serious battles. Its super natural and simple (in the best way) and is inspiring me to go paint mine. Ive been struggling to do my sisters army because I never am satisfied with how they look. Yours looks awesome, keep it up!
Wow! I absolutely love the colour scheme you chose for their power armour. The aging/weathering is top tier! Really great work Dana! You are representing Canadian mini artists big time. 😊
This video came up in my feed after I submitted my Armies on Parade 2022 entry. I straight away fell in love with your colour scheme and the innovative ways you threw paint all over the models. This is totally giving me inspiration for Armies on Parade 2023, and I want to make a commitment that the army I submit will be 100% inspired by Dana Howl. Just also totally different, in case you were worried ...
Im always a big fan of the paint job. But half the pleasure is the way those video are made. They feel new and refreshing and super inspirering. Thx Dana!
This is amazing. I've had in mind making a 40k army of space priates and scavengers (either based around gene stealers or adeptus mechanicus models) and this scheme is awesome! Huge inspiration. This has quickly risen to my top favorite channels!
Genuinely chuffed that you posted this I’ve been wracking my brains on how to do my sisters , I knew I wanted to do an Autumn theme but not how to put it to the model. So you’ve definitely give me some idea on where to start
Really love the bases superbly done. All the figures are excellent as usual many thanks for keeping your commentary to the point and clear. Keep up the good work love the videos
God I love the spin you put on these models! I know it's a longshot but I would love to see you work on something with black power armor, I'm a sucker for some Black Templars 👀
I love all your videos. I find myself often re-watching them just to see more of your beautiful color work. Thank you for sharing your art! I aspire to have the color skills you have.
Great video, the stippling and "paint chipping" advice has been very useful to me! Also, I always imagined the purity seals as CVS receipts that the Sisters didn't want to lose.
I have not dabbled in 40k or miniatures since 3rd edition. Stumbled onto your channel and after watching your videos I may have gotten the bug again.......Thanks Dana :) I will try and apply the wealth of knowlege you have given us to see if I can become a better painter. Thanks for the great videos and I so look forward to all your future posts.
You've really captured the feel of grim-dark with these sisters. I love your one-dot-at-a-time technique for the stripes, too. I'd love to see you do more sisters. They're my favorite range of models in 40k. Thank you!
More of everything please. Necrons first and Sisters for dessert. As usual, loved your delivery and humour. The editing and cut-aways add a great bit of extra flavour like salt and vinegar on chips (fries for any non-Brits). As a bonus, the hobby tips and tutorial are really great. You paint in a syle similar to my own, except more advanced and with more artistic insight as to colour choice, which makes it feel like I can really achieve similar results myself and makes me want to try to improve my painting! In general though I think the way you talk about and display techniques makes them seem really doable: unlike many other painting tutorial style videos, where it feels like glazing; layering; achieving light and dark contrast for shadows; etc. are beyond the ability of mortals even when they show you how *easy* it is. So thanks I guess and I'll be looking forward to more videos.
Your skills are top notch Dana! Your videos are entertaining and you always give me so many ideas for my own painting. These sisters truly are ready for battle!
Currently painting a custom sisters chapter heretically infected by Nurgle, their paint scheme is a fusion of Guy’s Makhiban Dynasty Flayed Necrons and these Sisters, Im super excited! Gory, Nurgly, Rusted Sisters, it’s going to be incredible! Thank you so much for the inspiration and incredible video as usual!!!
Really interesting grunge colour scheme for them, Not seen that before ! Of course we want to see the rest, you can never have enough sisters! Thanks for posting.
Nice work, I always enjoy learning various ways and interpretations of how to paint rust, beeing an ork player at heart. Also loved the highlight technique for the gun (among other items).
Charging “headlong in to a painting project,” sounds like a good way to actually get something done; mini painting wise. Unfortunately that isn’t really my problem right now. It’s more to do with not having the situation and circumstances conducive with an efficient mini painting production line. That’s what you need when you’ve got a lot of miniatures to paint . Or at least that’s what I feel works best for me? Also I don’t have enough Vallejo or Army Painter dropper bottle paints. Pre-mixing Agrax Earthshade And a darker colour is a really good idea! I do this a lot but I always do it on a mixing pallet so it’s probably different every time which isn’t good.
they're all schola progenium alums, right? so probably pretty advanced stuff. "A Quantitative Analysis of the Optimum Promethium Composition for Application to the Enemies of Our Most Holy God-Emperor with Respect to Target Density and Contact Time"
I feel like there's a whole curriculum, from Imperial History, to physical training, to how to properly care for/worship one's armor and weapons, to studying the Lecticio Divinitatus (omitting the fact it was written by Lorgar).
These look absolutely amazing. This is such an original colour scheme and I absolutely love it. I think I'm going to have to give this a go... once I've finished my pile of my shame! xD
I 'd love to see any Sisters vehicles or special characters - St. Katherine, Exorcist, Judith, etc.. they're all kind of intimidating (to me) models to start working on because I don't want to mess them up.
This video has inspired me to break my sisters back out and start painting again. well...assembling first and then painting them. 52 layers of orange later and they're look great!
I was just trying to figure out how to shade darker skin tones for some models I'm working on, so knowing that standard fleshshade works for more melanin-influenced tones is awesome! Thanks :)
Very nice, thank you for making it. I'd enjoy seeing you paint up one of the sister's vehicles. It would be good to see how you take a palette and then apply it to something with a very different form. I imagine the sisters units of the things on stilts would actually just look more like the figures you've just done and I wonder how it would look on a rhino. PS: You crack me up. You're hilarious and justifiably one of the community's most amazing people.
Thanks for sharing your unique take on painting these Sisters. Have you shown any tips/techniques for larger miniatures or vehicles? That would be my suggestion.
Dana!? Where was this two weeks ago! I've painted three squads of (old, metal) Sisters since then! ...Mine are "The Order of the Emerald Mantle", since they've got green-ish habits.
I have been trying my hand at darker skin tone and the reiklands flesh shade gives them that pop of life...also I find the browns I use then do dry a bit matte, so reiklands also adds a more satin finish.
spraying without a cap! you dangerous soul! anytime i put that much paint in my bowl it never fails to spill! Might be due to my spaztic spray style! Great scheme for the sistas!
Yep the necromunda look for the sisters works really well, and the white stippling in the guns is a revelation must try this out on my nurgely boys who also love a bit of rust. Yep let's see some more sisters stuff. Have you got some penitent engines to do?
@@DanaHowl wonderful! I just started them and I'd love some tips. GW's official video on the topic isn't especially helpful because I'm going for an orange color for all the glowy bits on my Necrons. I'm sure yours will be way easier to adapt. I'm guessing there's glazing involved?
Lol, I was cheering when you started to paint the stripes on the swords. That was my exact thougt when you said "Hazzard" and showed the yellow sword. :D
What an impressive Sisters scheme! I'm painting following the Valorous Heart chapter, but seeing these and a few other creator's unique schemes, I wish I was brave enough to try my own with confidence. However, maybe I'll take risks with trying to improve via OSL, since a handful of the models have light sources on their mini or base and I can tie this look into the rest of the army as a subtle glow effect.
They look great to me; and btw, the "part where the bullets come out" on a gun it's called muzzle or flash hider, depends on the kind of gun bla-bla-bla. I'd used a mini electric drill to drill the holes on the muzzle of the bolters of my Marines and the side holes on the flash hiders of 'em, looked better imo and was quite easy and no time consuming at all; was a good purchase that mini drill... speeded up cutting parts or things to make my own custom models or just change the tone of a mini.
They Look phenomenal. What i like the Most is that you didnt use that many colors, which brings everything pretty Well together. Also the color composition is great. I feel like the warm and cold relation is what makes a great composition. I currently work on my Black templars. The spiritual big brothers of the sisters of battle. Would love to See your take on them. Dana style Black templars.
First, these sisters look amazing and unique. A very different take on them. Second, it's called a muzzle hun, that's where the projectiles leave the weapon.
![Back to Basics: Drybrushing Sisters of Battle! It can be done! [How I Paint Things]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/haAZ3mXTrpU/mqdefault.jpg)
my favorite part was when you did their homework for them.
Technically its cheating, but Mother Superior ain't buying "Squig ate my homework" a second time.
Hi Brent 😊
Order of the Blessed Rust sounds like a monastery dedicated to Saint John of Blanchitsu
Their weathered armour may be a demonstration against Pride, as they must maintain, but can never polish or paint, their armour and weapons.
Ofcourse we all want to see the rest of units painting! Sisters are one of the most interesting armies in Warhammer 40k.
Yes! More sisters please 🙂
@tbonbrad Haha I love that name so much!!
Two things I really appreciated about your approach - ONE, the design evolved as you painted (the armor shifted into full-on verdigris) and TWO - you aren't limiting yourself to one set or brand of paints (use this paint, or any orange you have). Thank you.
I hope "Roof of Parliament" makes a re-appearance in future videos.
That Is The Best parliament ever looked..... You remind me of someone..... Lady Space Patrol....... Maybe i'm just insane, actually i'm sure i am, my therapist said so. Never-the-less, loving the videos, even happier your a Canadian Treasure! Please lets see more of the coppery colour pallet!
"The standard bearer's wood... skeleton house... thing" I mean you're not wrong
I also enjoyed “place of the gun where the bullets come out.” Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
You just have to appreciate the just f'n roll with it approach.
Lady... You're alright. ❤️
I think you might have been looking for “tabernacle.” But I’ve always considered that a dorky word anyway.
Favorite bit is how “grungy” it looks, like they have been in so some serious battles. Its super natural and simple (in the best way) and is inspiring me to go paint mine. Ive been struggling to do my sisters army because I never am satisfied with how they look. Yours looks awesome, keep it up!
GW's Motto: "There are always some skulls."
Really love how the chain sword and robes came out. Wasn't really 100% on where it was going but the result looks great.
Wow! I absolutely love the colour scheme you chose for their power armour. The aging/weathering is top tier! Really great work Dana! You are representing Canadian mini artists big time. 😊

I'm into the idea that they're so down with the blessed rust, they're just using some as lip balm
The "Caution Tape" on the chainsword is a great touch. I can't wait to see what you do with the other units.
The chipped paint technique looked really great on the chainsword. Good vid
Thanks!! that was one of my favorite parts of it
Dana has a true gift for narration.
Im always a big fan of the paint job. But half the pleasure is the way those video are made. They feel new and refreshing and super inspirering. Thx Dana!

Nice! My favorite army given the Dana Howl treatment! Seriously love the color scheme, really looks unique on the sororitas.
God I love the spin you put on these models! I know it's a longshot but I would love to see you work on something with black power armor, I'm a sucker for some Black Templars 👀
I got an idea for this that I want to do soon!
@@DanaHowl Woohoo!! I hope you have fun with it!! ❤️❤️
souping sisters with black templars would be great
Sisters of Battle and Ossiarch Bonereapers are my main jam. Loved this.
Just want to say you inspire me to paint more, and your underpainting tutorial has saved me literally hours of shading and highlighting.
Nice work ,Dana. Thanks for all your efforts to show us your techniques. I'd enjoy seeing you paint more Sisters.
You make it look so easy! I love the stipling and the back n forth with copper and blue.
I'm afraid to paint my sisters but your clear instructions and bangs put me at ease, thank you!
This colour scheme is so cool....... There's no other words for it! I love it. Great job.
I love all your videos. I find myself often re-watching them just to see more of your beautiful color work. Thank you for sharing your art! I aspire to have the color skills you have.
Great video, the stippling and "paint chipping" advice has been very useful to me!
Also, I always imagined the purity seals as CVS receipts that the Sisters didn't want to lose.
I have not dabbled in 40k or miniatures since 3rd edition. Stumbled onto your channel and after watching your videos I may have gotten the bug again.......Thanks Dana :) I will try and apply the wealth of knowlege you have given us to see if I can become a better painter. Thanks for the great videos and I so look forward to all your future posts.
More sisters! I’ve never seen the specialist units and this scheme is so interesting! Love the color combinations between rusts and metallics!
You've really captured the feel of grim-dark with these sisters. I love your one-dot-at-a-time technique for the stripes, too. I'd love to see you do more sisters. They're my favorite range of models in 40k. Thank you!
More of everything please. Necrons first and Sisters for dessert.
As usual, loved your delivery and humour. The editing and cut-aways add a great bit of extra flavour like salt and vinegar on chips (fries for any non-Brits).
As a bonus, the hobby tips and tutorial are really great. You paint in a syle similar to my own, except more advanced and with more artistic insight as to colour choice, which makes it feel like I can really achieve similar results myself and makes me want to try to improve my painting!

So thanks I guess and I'll be looking forward to more videos.
This is what you get When your sisters spend a bit too much time on Ryza.
This is probably the coolest concept for the sisters of battle I have seen. Amazing job!
Your skills are top notch Dana! Your videos are entertaining and you always give me so many ideas for my own painting. These sisters truly are ready for battle!
This is such a great guide. I've recently gotten back into Warhammer and am slowly trying to learn under shading and colour glazing from your videos.
Absolutely love your painting style and the instruction! A great video!
Currently painting a custom sisters chapter heretically infected by Nurgle, their paint scheme is a fusion of Guy’s Makhiban Dynasty Flayed Necrons and these Sisters, Im super excited! Gory, Nurgly, Rusted Sisters, it’s going to be incredible! Thank you so much for the inspiration and incredible video as usual!!!
This here is really some next level painting... I'm amazed by how good they look.
The new plastic Sisters got me back into 40k after 10 years of not playing. I would like more Sisters plz :)

i like the unique color scheme and weathering

Great, now I keep thinking about what the sisters' homework might be.
An essay on the benefits of hazard lines on one's own offensve chain sword in the 41st millennia.
"Can you suffer the heretic to live? Why or why not? Show your thoughts and reasoning in at least three scrolls worth of text."

@@thepib4195 tricky question. i'm guessing the F students are probably on a fast track to joining the sisters repentia
I feel like there's a whole curriculum, from Imperial History, to physical training, to how to properly care for/worship one's armor and weapons, to studying the Lecticio Divinitatus (omitting the fact it was written by Lorgar).
Stippling the stripes is a really good idea. The battle sisters turned out amazing!
Thank you!
love how gritty they look! killed it
I like this look. I'm not painting GW at the moment but it could be applied to other armoured units nicely. Thanks.
These look absolutely amazing. This is such an original colour scheme and I absolutely love it. I think I'm going to have to give this a go... once I've finished my pile of my shame! xD
Right in time, I'm ready with my dose of coffee and sarcastic humor. "Parlament Roof" is the best color, I can confirm.
Love your paint style for the sister of battle.
I generally prefer the sisters in their black armor and red cloaks but I LOVE your scheme on these. Please do more sister vids and the necrons too.
Great video. I like the way you present what you've done. Really like your color blends.
These look fantastic! That chainsword paint scheme might become my default from now on
I love how you always have a coherent theme for your models. Great stuff :)
Your videos are awesome !!! They really help with understanding the steps necessary to make an amazing finished product !
I 'd love to see any Sisters vehicles or special characters - St. Katherine, Exorcist, Judith, etc.. they're all kind of intimidating (to me) models to start working on because I don't want to mess them up.
I think my favorite part of your videos is when every line you say seems to be on the verge of breaking into laughter.
This video has inspired me to break my sisters back out and start painting again. well...assembling first and then painting them. 52 layers of orange later and they're look great!
Verdigris has been my favorite lately I’m using the reaper brand it’s nice love the effect you got
Aw hell yeah! I've been thinking of getting some of these!
Very enjoyable as always,I love the way you describe things.makes me smile.👍😊
Dana you are freakin' hilarious. Your sense of humor has me laughing on the inside and paying attention on the outside
Such lovely models, and a great paint job!
I was just trying to figure out how to shade darker skin tones for some models I'm working on, so knowing that standard fleshshade works for more melanin-influenced tones is awesome! Thanks :)
Also, more sisters!
Great work and thank you for finally releasing the sisters paint tutorial!
I'd love to see pictures of all three Journey to Indomnitus factions together! They all look so good, but all with their own identity and style too :)
Very nice, thank you for making it.
I'd enjoy seeing you paint up one of the sister's vehicles. It would be good to see how you take a palette and then apply it to something with a very different form.

Thanks for sharing your unique take on painting these Sisters.
Have you shown any tips/techniques for larger miniatures or vehicles? That would be my suggestion.
I don't know anything about the Sisters of Battle, but I love hearing people say "I'm going to paint these SoB's today."
I love the idea of a Death Stranding pallet. You could do the little Cupid’s that the sisters have as BB’s from Death Stranding
Wow, The idea of having them have copper armour but oxidized is really great, might Steal that for my Sisters as well 👀
Love em! Especially the robes.
Refering to it as "homework" is great. :) I am always a fan of more sisters of battle painting!
such an awesome squad of sisters
Dana!? Where was this two weeks ago! I've painted three squads of (old, metal) Sisters since then!
...Mine are "The Order of the Emerald Mantle", since they've got green-ish habits.
Seriously though, great video! I love your channel.
Thanks Dan!
The Wood Skeleton House Thing is a birdhouse but for skulls, you build them in the spring and watch the skulls come by to eat skullseed
skullseed is teeth
I have been trying my hand at darker skin tone and the reiklands flesh shade gives them that pop of life...also I find the browns I use then do dry a bit matte, so reiklands also adds a more satin finish.

Sisters of Parliament
Really nice design. Would like to see this on some of the more outlandish SoB models like Penitent Engines or Cyberpunk St. Katherine.
Love the choice of colours!!
I sure hope those Sisters get all their homework done before the weekend :) Great video! Thank you!
Yep the necromunda look for the sisters works really well, and the white stippling in the guns is a revelation must try this out on my nurgely boys who also love a bit of rust. Yep let's see some more sisters stuff. Have you got some penitent engines to do?
These look excellent! Really cool scheme.
That is a very interesting color scheme, I love it. I would love to see your take on the new Novitiates! :D
This is very cool. I would love to see more Sisters!
These are always so sweet. Thanks for sharing, they look amazing!
I'd love to see how you're painting the hyperphase blades on the Necrons!
I'm literally working on a video that covers this at this very moment!
@@DanaHowl wonderful! I just started them and I'd love some tips. GW's official video on the topic isn't especially helpful because I'm going for an orange color for all the glowy bits on my Necrons. I'm sure yours will be way easier to adapt.
I'm guessing there's glazing involved?
Lol, I was cheering when you started to paint the stripes on the swords. That was my exact thougt when you said "Hazzard" and showed the yellow sword. :D
Love this video, and LOVE the soundtrack.
Have followed on bandcamp.
Painting choonzzzz!!!!!
What an impressive Sisters scheme! I'm painting following the Valorous Heart chapter, but seeing these and a few other creator's unique schemes, I wish I was brave enough to try my own with confidence. However, maybe I'll take risks with trying to improve via OSL, since a handful of the models have light sources on their mini or base and I can tie this look into the rest of the army as a subtle glow effect.
Nice work, Dana! What to paint next....how about Beastmen?
Yeah beastmen would be cool, I've recently painted some and they're cool models
They look great to me; and btw, the "part where the bullets come out" on a gun it's called muzzle or flash hider, depends on the kind of gun bla-bla-bla. I'd used a mini electric drill to drill the holes on the muzzle of the bolters of my Marines and the side holes on the flash hiders of 'em, looked better imo and was quite easy and no time consuming at all; was a good purchase that mini drill... speeded up cutting parts or things to make my own custom models or just change the tone of a mini.
I used some video game characters on models for colour scheme and kit bashing inspiration. Death Stranding has some neat colours in the game.
They Look phenomenal. What i like the Most is that you didnt use that many colors, which brings everything pretty Well together.
Also the color composition is great.
I feel like the warm and cold relation is what makes a great composition.
I currently work on my Black templars.
The spiritual big brothers of the sisters of battle.
Would love to See your take on them.
Dana style Black templars.
First, these sisters look amazing and unique. A very different take on them. Second, it's called a muzzle hun, that's where the projectiles leave the weapon.
