I moved into an apartment in an old mansion from 1777. Out of town and into a small village. Safe to say the new outside view from my desk is gorgeous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming post <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t had much time to write but I am working on a longer post about kitbashing and my thoughts around it. <br>Hoping to publish soonish and that someone might find it interesting. I&#8217;m always fascinated myself by what goes into the process. <br><br>The reason for the coming post is I finally got around to a project I have been thinking of for at least a couple of years now (though probably longer). I have been kitbashing a host of carnival inspired cultists to serve as deamonettes for my Slaanehs army. <br>I have collected reference pictures and bits for a long time but never quite got going with it. This summer it finally happened and in quite a short amount of time I built around 50 deamonettes and a whole bunch of other kitbashes.<br><br>I also started to convert my Lumineth horse riders into something that will serve as deamonettes on steeds of Slaanesh. Once I finish up the riders. I kind of ran out of arms for bashing so I need to collect more bits. <br><br>I might make a post on the full army sometime. Tell me if it&#8217;s something you would like to see!  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0105-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-354\" style=\"width:1055px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0105-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0105-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0105-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0105-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0105-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So far I fully painted one of the deamonettes. And then I left the rest just sitting on my desk abandoned. I instead switched focus onto working on some new watercolour paintings. <br><br>I have spent quite a lot of time on painting lately and I still have a whole bunch of sketches, drawings and ready to go paintings left to finish. The plan is to keep working on them while I&#8217;m still in the right headspace and do some miniature painting on the side. Usually I tend to focus solely on one hobby but I would like to be a bit more flexible and mix up my hobby time more. We&#8217;ll see how that goes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0106-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0106-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0106-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0106-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0106-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.valadys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0106-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short update of what I have been up to.
