Prunesquallor Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Dear Aethervox Listeners, 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! Peace! Julian, Ian and Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistercactus Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Sorry guys, it has been a blast, but it is time to move on. I'd advise that it is WELL worth listening to the announcement episode to hear all the reasons for this decision.

Rathnard Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 +1! I gotta say it's sad to bid the original show farewell but as per the original post it's time we put this dog out of it's misery and got ourselves something bigger and flashier. In any case, the new direction we'll be taking has is all very excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jack* Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) This scared me for quite a few minutes. Edited April 1, 2012 by *Jack* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRussel Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 This has to be an April Fools joke, I listened to the episode and "They're those 6 sided cubes with numbers on them", This HAS to be a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Aether Vox changing to 40k. McDonald starting a new line of Cocktail Bars we live in weird times. http://thechap.net/content/section_news/?p=1028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Like, rock on dudes! 40k is da shizzle in da nizzle and other similar over-the-top ejaculations. Good thing you warned us on April 1st, gives me a whole day to pretend to take you seriously XD EDIT: $$$$$$$$, Ratty reads the Chap?! Now I REALLY want to marry his brain.

ninjahamster Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's a shame, but really glad to hear you're moving to a much better game, the sheer variety of big metal armour out there is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serigala Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) About time too! Great move guys. I have been looking for an alternative to "the tired old card mechanic". I'll definitely be signing up to your new podcast. Edited April 1, 2012 by Serigala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilus Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just finished listening. Personally I feel that Warhammer 39,987 was the best edition. Its all just been power creep since then. Also you forgot to mention the big green armored guys, they also play completely different and wear dresses. Great job guys and I am happy to say that I was on the last episode of the Aethervox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bienivrai Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just listened to episode 16 podcast. You guys made me cry.I just love sarcasms. You had me going for about 10s and I was going to jump and follow you in this new universe! Keep up the great work. Love the fluff and the hobby aspect you guys promote!

OtherSpencer Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well I will admit you got me. Woke up and read the announcement on my podcast downloader and said "Oh my god, we killed the aethervox." I thought about all the stories I'd miss and what I was going to email to talk them into their senses. 5 minutes later I realized the date. Afterwards I listened to the episode and laughed all the way through. So thanks for ruining and then making my day all with one thing. Well done... And yes.. I'm gullible.
