Episode 16 is finally here, and it’s chock-a-block with Malifaux-y goodness.
This episode we have the return of Mike Howell’s Confessions of an Aspiring Resurrectionist, we review some terrain and bases sent to us by the Terrain Geek, Adrian discusses the joys of Killjoy and proposes plenty of possible proxies in The Doppelganger. We also have the usual chat about the May releases, news, hobby aspirations and more!
Show notes after the jump. Hope you enjoy.
16 - The Aethervox: Tidings of Comfort and Killjoy[ 2:19:14 ]Play NowDownload
Over the past fourteen months we have been proud to bring you The Aethervox, covering all aspects of Wyrd Miniatures’ character-driven, tabletop skirmish game, Malifaux. Sadly, all good things must come to an end.
When Ian and Julian first began The Aethervox, in February 2011, we were the only dedicated Malifaux podcast on the internet, and we proudly filled what we saw as a lacuna in the miniature wargaming podcast landscape. But ever since the meteoric rise of certain other Malifaux podcasts, we have begun to feel that The Aethervox has become redundant—a dinosaur among mammals, a V1 statcard in a V2 meta.
We believe we have served the community well, bringing you the latest news, commentary and tactics interviews (and, we hope, a few laughs along the way), but it is time for Ian, Adrian and Julian to move on to bigger and better things. We feel secure leaving you in the capable hands of the good folks at Cheated Fates Radio, and of course our old friend and mentor, Bill at The Gamer’s Lounge. With such talented and dedicated guardians watching over Malifaux, we will rest assured knowing that the community will continue to flourish and thrive without us.
BUT WAIT!
We may be done with Malifaux, but we’re certainly not done with podcasting. Now that Malifaux has achieved near-total dominance within the hobby, we feel that there are other, lesser-known games that deserve our attention. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of The Aethervox, we are today announcing the launch of our brand new podcast: VoxHammer Xtreme. This new show will be dedicated to a little-known tabletop battle game that the three of us recently discovered and immediately fell in love with. It’s called Warhammer 40,000. “40k” (as the cognoscenti know it) is a futuristic battle game created by UK-based games company Games Workshop.
Like The Aethervox, VoxHammer Xtreme is designed to appeal to newcomers and veterans alike, so whether you’ve heard of Warhammer 40,000 or not, please click the link below, give our new podcast a listen and let us know what you think.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It’s been a blast!
Episode 14 is here! It’s our birthday, and we received the best present any podcast could ask for. You’ll just have to listen to find out what we unwrapped.
This episode we have the return of Confessions of an Aspiring Resurrectionist by Mike Howell, we chat with Nilus about the Malifaux events going down at Adepticon, Ian chats with Bill from The Gamer’s Lounge in “What the Fluff?”, the Doppelganger is Resurrected, Adrian announces the winner of the Marcus Avatar competition in “The Man Comes Around” and has a special report about a Recent Malifaux tournament he attended at CanCon. Also: Game Reports, New Releases, Incoherent Ramblings, and everything you ever wanted to know about Silurids. Whew. Have I forgotten anything? Probably. You’ll just have to listen to the episode to find out.
Special thanks this episode to the following people: Bill Anderson from The Gamers Lounge for donating the mixer through which much (but not all) of this show was recorded, Matt Lightbound for some excellent sound effects and interstitial bits (and continuing thanks to Robey Jenkins, Bertie Gmaj, and Conor McKeown for their interstitial bits), Joseph Scott and Kevin Wall for their generous donations to the show, and Jason Ellis for his help with sound editing on episodes 13 and 15 (check out Jason’s sound editing an production services here).
Show notes after the break.

Episode 13 is a tactics interview with Palmer Buss, better known as pgbsamurai. He will be discussing Lilith, Mother of Monsters.
Nota Bene: There are big, exciting changes coming to the Aethervox, and many people we need to thank, but we’ll save all that for episode 14. This one is just the interview, plain and simple.
Oh, and no we didn’t use Bill’s mixing board to record this – so hopefully next episode we will sound better.
The Aethervox is back, and we’re looking forward to 2012 and the possible end of the world.
This episode we have the continuation of Mr. Magpie’s Cemetery Circus, we announce the winners of our first ever contest, The Man Comes Around (in which Rathnard talks about some of Marcus’s minions and announces our second ever contest), the Malifaux Ministry of Music, Movies and other Media, our trip to Hal Con, Game Report, New Releases and more…
Hope you enjoy.

For our tenth episode we have a real mixed bag: we have an interview with David McGuire, author of many of the stories in Twisting Fates, about what it’s like to write fluff for Malifaux; “The Other White Meat,” a continuation of Mr. Magpie’s Cemetery Circus story arc; the second part of our fluff segment with special guest co-host Shawn Kehoe, who also tells us all about Hal Con, Halifax’s sci-fi convention (we will be there, and Ian will be running Malifaux demos). In ”The Man Comes Around,” Rathnard discusses his stolen Gen Con order, avatars, and his minion-of-the-month Jack Daw. And we have the usual blabber about Wyrd’s new releases, game reports and mindless gossip. Plus, we announce our first ever contest!
Special thanks this month go out to Chris at CanHammer for his generous and unexpected donation to the show. If you’re interested in Warhammer Fantasy, 40K or Flames of War, check out his podcast.
Hope you enjoy the show.
As always, show notes are after the break.

Hi all. This month only, we’re doing two tactics interviews in a row. That’s right – you think you’ve got us figured out and then we change things up on you, because that’s how we roll at The Aethervox.
(Actually, some midterm exams put us behind in our production schedule, so rather than keep you waiting we decided to post this interview early.)
This one’s on Lucius and his Elite Division, with James aka FoeRender. Hope you enjoy!

EDIT: In the original upload there are 5 minutes missing from the end of the interview. This should be fixed shortly.
UPDATE: Okay, that seems to be fixed. Not sure what the problem was. Thanks to Hatchethead for pointing out the problem.
Welcome to Episode 8. This episode we devote our whole show to a tactics interview with Keagan Nicotra, aka The Lone Bard. He will be discussing Nicodem – undertaker, necromancer, gentleman, and zombie horde lord.
It’s currently Guild Week over at the Pull My Finger Tactica Wiki, but next week is Resurrectionist Week. We hope this great interview inspires you to go on over and contribute to the ever-growing (and gradually decomposing) body of Malifaux knowledge and strategy at Pull My Finger.
Hope you enjoy!
