Ender’s Game – Book Review

enders game

A while ago I saw Ender’s Game the movie. It’s one of those “classic sci-fi books” that’s been on my “to-read” list for years. The movie made me buy the book.

Sci-Fi Blood Vestals from Raging Heroes

Raging Heroes Blood Vestals

For a week I’ve blogged excessively about Warhammer 40K. Time to mixed it up a bit, so I take a look at the new Sci-Fi Blood Vestals now up for pre-order from Raging Heroes. That is a pretty cool set of ladies. And some people may find uses for them in Warhammer 40K as well […]
