Red Jokers: A Faux Shaux

The finale episode of the Red Jokers!

We talk M3E and all the things we love and not-so-love so far. Plus we tell you our plans for future podcast fun!

Featuring special guest Andrew

The boys are back in full force this episode to unpack Netflix & Schill 2018 and also some sweet new boxes of models from the Other Side of the breach. We give our first impressions of the figures and gear that comes in the starter set for Wyrd's new game.

We also get to experience the dubious treat that is FMK 2018 edition...

A brief one this time in the lead up to Netflix and Schill 3.

The boys chat about some more of their hopes for M3E and go through the latest news about the rules.

Each host has a chat about an underrated model that they would like to see hit the table more in what's left of the M2E's life cycle.

Lastly we tip the hat to the next exciting event on Melbourne's calendar. Our very own team tournament!

The Red Jokers return with more M3E chat and a brand new host! Bensome has officially become a Joker to bring our numbers back up to a healthy four.

We also play a crazy game of "kill your babies" in order to determine definitively who is the best master in Malifaux when it comes to the hearts and minds of the people.

Learn what you can about Netflix & Schill this episode and stay tuned on the Facebook page for more. 10th of November is the date for the greatest Malifaux team tournament this side of the breach. Don't forget to vote in our poll if you intend to come this year!

In this very raw and jank cast (read almost unedited) the Red Jokers cover the news of the moment. The biggest news to hit Malifaux in five years! It's 3rd edition homies! We get to hear all the goss on the new edition and some of the hopeful hopes and dreamy dreams of our hosts.

We also cover the latest errata for our current game and reflect on how it may effect the game as it stands right now. Lastly, AWP is back baby! Some of the more buzz-killington trolls have been given the flick. Maybe it has become more of a fun place to hang out and talk Faux? Check it out.

The Red Jokers are back and ready to answer your burning questions. All the listener questions sent in over the last month get answered alongside the usual banter.

We also bring you some live coverage from the recent new-player Malifaux event, Fauxnomenon. We hope you enjoy homies.

Our schedule won't allow for a normal episode release for a few more weeks, so Huw and Bensome got together to get some content out to you guys.

In this bonus episode we do something completely different by bringing you a comprehensive review of the new steampunk miniatures skirmish game Twisted. If you're interested check it out through the Aussie designers and manufacturers Demented games. We give our honest and unsolicited thoughts, just in case someone cares... and of course for fun :D

See you in a few weeks for a return to the usual schedule.

Check out the Joker's top five Malifaux masters circa April 2018 on this episode of the Red Jokers. Also, catch up with what the boys have been up to in the hobby of late and enjoy an unpacking of the top summoners in the meta right now, and why we think they are not much fun to play against. Is this a problem with Malifaux right now? Have you thought of any good solutions.

Toward the end of the ep, check out Byron's awesome painting tutorials for noobs. How to get your crew table-top ready with the absolute bare minimum of effort and expense. Now you have no excuse!

Please comment and like the Red Jokers: A Faux Shaux Facebook page. And don't forget to participate in our Poll so we can find out what who you think are the best "untapped", under-represented or fun sleeper masters in your meta right now.

If you're a new player, why not come along to the awesome new player event Fauxnomenon in Melbourne (Ravenloft), organised by friend of the show Leigh Caruana. Look it up on facebook and gain a rare opportunity for a friendly game against a Red Joker in the first round :)

Music in this Episode:

Alestrom - Drink

Sabaton - Panzerkampf

The lads catch up with the champ himself. Vivian Gleeson, winner of Twatifaux 2018, the largest Malifaux Tournament in Australia!

We run through our games and the awesome time we had at the event. We talk a little bit about the meta and some interesting updates since Twatifaux inspired so many people to paint new masters!

The Jokers also release and analyse the results from the Facebook thread. Who do the listeners around the world think are the top five Malifaux masters? You might be surprised by the results.

Finally we address some of the controversy surrounding the recent shenanigans on A Wyrd Place. The internet just wouldn't be the same without the trolls!

Welcome to another Red Jokers episode homies! This time we talk the state of the game and negative play experiences. We try briefly to work out how to beat Nick Beatie's Riva, without any meaningful success. We also analyse the new GG2018 strategies and talk about our favourite bits.

Have you ever wondered about why who in Malifaux would be best at various winter Olympic sports? Neither had Nick or Huw, but Byron had a few ideas, so why not? Perhaps you had wondered if Jalapenos and Yoghurt are a good combination? Again no, but we're here to bring you the answers to the questions you never asked!
