Reviews: Eisenhorn trilogy final review.

So, after a brake from reading I finaly finished the last 2 chapters of Eisenhorn today and I loved it. the whole trilogy kept me interested and becuase Dan Abnett doesn't get overly attached to his characters and kills them off regularly, you never new what was coming next. In the last book things get really weird. You don't know whether Eisenhorn will become a heritic or stay puritanical.

The description is fantastic, enough to tell you exactly what is happening without long, drawn out descriptions.

Anyway, I would definately recommend you pick up the trilogey. 9/10

Next I'm reading Ciaphas Cain, looking forward to it immensly.

Thanks for reading,

Jacob.

Reviews: Eisenhorn, book 2 review.

So, today I finished the second Eisenhorn book and I must say what a great read. It was gripping all the way through and I always wanted to read on. I won't go through the details because it was a ton of linked subplots and all sorts of of things happened. What I will say it is 50-100 years on which means we have some really developed characters which I have really grown to like.

All in all I would reccomend this book to anybody providing they have read the previous (just as good) Eisenhorn book.

10/10 stars!

Thanks for reading,

Jacob.

Reviews: Space wolf book four, WOLF BLADE.

Hi, just thought I would try a book review today. I have recently finished Wolf Blade so thought I would do that, here goes:

The entire series is about Ragnar Blackmane as a new recruit, through blood claw then wolf blade. I have not read the 1st 3 but have read the fourth which starts a couple of yrs after the 3rd. Basically Ragnar gets exiled to the wolf blade for 'losing' the spear of Russ. he was actually trying to stop magnus the red. Anyway. the wolf blade is a small selection of space wolves that guard the navigator house belisarius in return for navigators. When hes is sent to Terra to join the wolf blade a navigator lady who has been spending time on fenris goes with him. On the journey he is made to protect her. On the way she is attacked by a poisonous robotic spider that Ragnar saves her from.

On Terra Ragnar is met by Torrin who is a rather eccentric space wolf who loves finesse etc. he takes him to his chambers and shows him around. the other main character is Haegr who is massive and the only space wolf you could call fat. He is 'honorable' and incredibly strong and a great fighter.

The whole plot is about them protecting house belisarius from the brotherhood who hate mutants. They have to go into the catacombs beneath Terra on a mission to kill a load of the brotherhood and kill their psycher leader but get battered. Torrin is separated from them so Haegr (who is very hurt) and Ragnar have to find a medic in a little village. they get there and Haegr is fixed up a bit then an old man guides them to the elevator. they are chased by the brotherhood and there are some great fight scenes. When they can't get to the elevator they go to this comns station and find Torrin. While they wait for reinforcements they have to hold out against a mass of brotherhood.

Once they get out they have to protect the leader of house belisarius from a massive attack. In the end Ragnar kills a administartum assassin!!!

Throughout the story are a load of sub plots and Ragnar is trying to get his head around who (un)holy TERRA works. I haven't ruined the whole thing for you here and I think you should definitely read this book. I have to say that it was really enjoyable and I would recommend it to anybody.

Thanks for readimng guys and I hope that you liked this. Give me feed back on how I did and what I missed in a book review. If any of you have read WOLF BLADE then feel free to tell me what I have mised and I will keep it in mind for next time. thanks for reading,

Jacob.

Reviews: Gamers World 1 year review.

Hi guys, I can't belive I am celebrating my first year (roughly) already and my 150th post (double celebration), I have had about 6500 hits which I am very proud of considering when I started I might get 2 hits a day if i was lucky. Now I get about 50 hits if I put up a post. I think I have improved a lot over this year, here is a list:

1) learned how to take propper pics of minis.
2) Got better at painting (ie. Learned how to highlight etc)
3) Have got cleaner at painting

and thats just the painting things I have had great year and this blog has really helped me. I mean I have had my ups and downs and I have had my breaks from blogging but all in all I have really enjoyed doing this.

I wopuld still like to improve on some things like giving out more tutorials etc but really, I can do that.

Now normaly people say what is to come in the next year but frankly I really don't know for me, I mean I may start a new army i may do some different things with this blog but that all depends on this blog. Not to long ago I would not know what I was going to blog about before I sat down at my computer, now I plan posts and create them before I post them but still I might sit down on a Saturday and think something up to blog about.

Overall I have loved doing this and will continue over the following year hopefully growing bigger and better.

If you have enjoyed this year with me then please let me know and I f you have anything to say on improving this blog then now is your chance, I won't get offended because if somethings wrong I would like to fix it.

P.S. Please enter the contest for naming my rhinos, the link is above in the whats new box and if you would like to then join the Common Posters (commenters) Blogger Group linked to on the side bar.

Thanks for reading and good night.

Reviews: The good (but not the bad or the ugly) podcasts.

Hi guys, just thought I'd do a bit of a review on my favorite podcasts. I will put them in order of my favorite to my least but even my least is still really good. So give em a listen.

1. Heelan hammer: Quite a new podcast really, but my very favorite. It's about fantasy and they are very knowledgeable and have really, really good sound. If you like them then their premium content section is worth the £10. love em, check them out.

2. Worlds End Radio : Cover loads of different things with a slight focus on blood bowl. really good guys and a great podcast. Even if your not into fantasy/bloodbowl/LoTR then have a listen and you will have a good time.

3. Bad dice and 40K Radio (both just as good) Bad dice: Great fantasy podcast, really good blokes the Bens' are. Both spectacular players.
40k Radio: Funny, clever and drunken 40k, a great podcast and one any 40k fan should listen to.

4. D6 Generation: Cover board gaming and role play and all sorts of others. brilliant. i tell you i'm not into that stuff but these guys are just amazing I would recoment this to anyone.

5. Here be Gamers: Kind of a mini D6G, cover a wider variety of games, roleplay and anything else that pops up into thir head's. Awsome.

6.waaagh cast and miscast podcast: Both great fantasy podcasts. All very good. there not all that special but they are a great listen for any Fantasy fan.

7. 3 die block: Awesome boodbowl cast.

8. Podhammer: Take with a pinch of salt. A good fantasy podcast but can go a bit off topic sometimes, give it a listen. you'll know what i mean.

Podcasts I'd like to listen to: Tackle zone radio: Dunno yet.

All in all, thanks for reading.
