  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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!!!

  4. I’m thinking of starting sisters of battle in the new year, my name is Robert, I’m 24 and I’m disabled, I have a condition called Achondroplasia which is a form of dwarfism, I also have spinal stenosis, kyphosis and lordosis, hip dysplasia and hypermobility, because of my conditions I’m in an electric wheelchair, I’m in constant pain everyday. Watching your videos have really helped me, you make me feel so comfortable and your work is so inspirational to me! It truly is, you’ve done a brilliant job on these sisters! Beautiful work! Thank you for being here and thank you for being an inspiration to me and many others 🙂

  5. 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.
