Howdy Tumblr fam! I need your help!

See, I have this GREAT looking Necron Reanimator - Seriously my favorite 40k model ever, if I'm being real. I'm very very happy with the paint job, but I'm hesitant to call it "done" quite yet.

See, it has all these nicks and dings and chips all over it, and I'm waffling on a decision : Do I leave it as-is since the rest of my Necrons are all pristine and un-weathered ~or~ do I pull out the AK Streaking Grime and Rust Streaks and weather it to make it look old and beaten?

On one hand, the paint job looks great as it is - it matches the rest of my pristine grey/purple/green Necrons that have no rust or weathering on them (a choice I made because I figured "living metal" wouldn't rust).

On the other hand, this model has a lot of damage sculpted into the surface already, and the Canopteks are supposed to be the ones that stayed awake for the tens of millions of years, tending to the Tomb Worlds while their masters slumbered. After all that time you'd figure they'd get a little dirty.

Also consider : I'm terrified of fucking up a perfectly good paintjob, but also "no guts, no galaxy" as we say in Battletech.

EDIT : To be clear, this is the type of weathering I'm talking about. I'm not going to douse the whole thing in Streaking Grime like a lot of painters do.

i think it's sooo funny that in the og script/deleted scene dan dreams about the reagent before the incident with rufus. the tragedy is yet to happen but its ripples have already reached dan before the first domino would fall.

dan carrying fragments of his dream through the encounter, a sense of deja vu with such significance that just!!! slips out of his grasp like a bar of soap and is immediately disregarded. but it's there!! a half memory of an echo of an unscreamed scream and i just. dunno. i feel a lot about whatever sensitivity dan has that avoids herbert so completely in regard to the tragedy they're about to inflict.

In this post it’s noted both Herbert West and Weyoun have a body language of leaning back to communicate something nonverbally. In the Reanimator cast commentary, Jeffrey Combs comments on his intentional movement to fake leave, then come back to his partner in this scene. I submit that there are actually several intentional Combs Manuevers that speak 1000 words.

more evidence that din djarin doesn’t know he’s in a narrative: ANY of the tumblr girlies could have told you that IG-11 was going to Come Back Wrong

#UsagiChroniclesDay let's go!!! the first Samurai Rabbit anniversary is this friday on the 28th of April and it would be cool to do something together to celebrate it! :D

post/redraw your favourite scene or screenshot! Lets show the internet (and maybe even the crew...?:D) how much we like this show! This reanimated WIP I drew is from the end of the 2nd episode, "Yokai", because I thought it was a really funny moment that would be fun to study. Did you know that in the japanese dub, Gen calls Usagi "yokai otaku" here? I thought that was hilarious, because all that is all the boy talks about at first xP (Kitsune also calls him this at the start of the ep)

Now excuse me as I try to pick which shot or scene to redraw for this myself in the short time that is tomorrow hahah x3

no real groundrules re: art but might be good to follow a few (under the cut)

- keep it reasonably SFW (this is a newer show aimed at kids who I doubt are allowed online on tumblr of all places but... this is more a general guideline) so like no excessive gore etc (but on tumblr u can tag it/flag it)

- include at least one screenshot from the show itself!

- no hate on the show. obviously, if you don't like it, that's fine! but this is an event for fans of the show so be nice about it. the tag is also for you to blacklist on tumblr or twt if you feel like it's too big / too much.

- this one's a bit smaller, but don't spamtag crew on the show unless you know for sure they'd love to see it!

these are all the basic things I could think of for now but let me know if there should be any changes :-Y

it’s all “support unethical mad scientists!” with you people until we’re a little mean to the things we brought back to life 🙄 mind your own experiments

there’s a difference between being unethical and being an asshole. having said that, op is clearly the latter

the-suave-fiend-deactivated202

oh YOU’RE one to talk with your “generative programming pain response training”. how’s that robot torture working out for you?

👓 menachanic Follow

you know perfectly well that a string of code doesn’t work like a brain, even when you run it on an android. nice try though!

🧠 livingdeadbeauty Follow

remember to support your reanimated friends! just because we’re undead doesn’t mean we’re unfeeling. this has a really good breakdown on the issue of mad scientists disregarding members of our community

🫀 anatomiclady Follow

seconding this!!!

⚡️ corkscrewloose Follow

Completely agree that the living dead should be allowed as much autonomy as anyone else. (Though I’m a bit concerned about the robot thing.)

hope this is ok to say… I have op blocked because “a little mean” doesn’t even begin to cover it. let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t end up like the poor guy in the link (;キ_ ; )7

UPDATE:

WE GOT EM BOYS

[jooffo]

herbert is a killer queen and dan is a good old fashioned lover boy

[sara-paints]

Pretty proud of the base, tho

You guys don't understand it's so fucking unfair that my brothers are funnier at my hyperfixations than me.

Wait a minute

Eddie Grimley?

This guy????

New headcanon just dropped

Canon about Daniel Cain from the RA novelization:

* His middle name is Johnathan

* Attended Johns Hopkins University for undergrad.

* His father was a lawyer. There’s a bit of a conflicting error in the text that states Dan “enjoyed listening to his lectures (even now),” but then later in the book claims his parents died in a car crash when he was an infant. It’s hard to discern which storyline Rovin is following.

* The death of his parents created a kind of trauma that arrises every time he’s faced with death of a patient or anyone else. (Mainly Rufus, in this example.)

* Raised by a “spinster” aunt who “had the sensibilities of a nun” (Meg’s words).

* Hooked up with at least five girls at Miskatonic before meeting Meg. (“Damn, Daniel!”)

* Gets teased about his last name by a colleague, who refers to him as “Nova,” “Coe,” or “Candy.”

* Former roommate was named Eddie Grimley. Eddie’s parents had a lot of money that afforded them the rent of a whole house. Eddie dropped out of medical school to become a dancer. This is what led Dan to post the vacancy.

* Dan is a habitual stoner.

* Is a football fan, at least enough to hold a casual conversation about it.

* He and Meg had been dating for six months before Herbert’s arrival at MU. They were already engaged.

* Has Star Trek bedsheets. (Yes, it was pertinent for me to restate that.)
