The most important thing I have to say about Golden Demon 2026: It was a blast. Everything. The models. The GD/GW-crew (🫶). The participants. The entries. The stage show.

For me, GD is a lot about socialising. So thanks to everyone I already knew. And who considered taking me to all the afternoon-activities. 🫶 Also to @n0tchris for just being the greatest buddy bearing me for whole 5 days. Thanks also to everyone approaching me on the show. 🫶 Sometimes, I might have felt a little "short" due to how draining all that is. So many people, so much noise, so much standing and walking, so much talking and socialising. I love it, but it's draining.

One of my entries faced an accident after picking it up from the crew when showing it to an absolute legend and now I will have to repair one of the models. But I can do it. Both new entries I painted achieved finalist. So basically 4th/5th place. Insane. I'd lie when saying I'm not a bit sad to not having achieved a trophy, but I'm also very proud for both having reached finalist and hopefully getting featured on WarCom in a bit. The competitors winning well deserved it and were very very strong. I also got 3 commended on models I just took to give people another look upon - even on one of my models I painted as a pure gaming piece.
I'll try to get a detailed post for the models I entered, I knew I was rather secretive.

Thanks to everyone. So much.

Was so amazing to finally get to see both you and your work in person! I saw many awestruck and amazed faces staring at your work from the other side of the glass!

I remember sitting in a voice call with friends while watching the livestream and telling everyone, with full confidence, "I already know who will walk home with a trophy"

Man, I still feel really bad about what happened. I guess karma got me back a little—one of the Nurglings on my Festus broke. Still, it doesn’t make up for the damage. I really hope you can restore your masterpiece.
