The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast

Hey there Scummers!!

In this episode, the Lorekeepers delve into the history of the abhuman saviours of Necromunda, The Ironhead Squats.

These stout and industrious abhumans have been integral in maintaining not only the planets ability to support life, but have been the true power behind her production for millennia.

From salvaging the vast ranges of the spoil, to harvesting precious materials from the depths of the sump seas, to reclaiming chems from the very clouds themselves, The scions of Oryith Ironeye have their hands in every part of Necromundas economy.

For better or worse...

So join us as we discuss sump sea pirates, a robot made entirely out of peg legs, the particulars of the Squat accent and a new colony for the downtrodden and outcast strikingly similar to my own home...

Hello there Scummers!

In this episode the boys head out to the black market and do a bit of a dive into the corrupted weapons you'll find in darkest corners of questionable shops.

From the heretical bolters of fallen Astartes, flamers imbued with the powers of the warp, daemonic blades and weapons forged from the very materials of the warp itself, tread carefully scummer. These items will allow you to unleash such horrors upon your enemies.

Just don't get caught with them...

Hello there Scummers!

Spamuel has taken a bit of precious time away from the campaign trail and has been reading fan mail from his beloved constituency!

Remember to #VoteSpamuel for every possible office.

It’s corruption you can count on.

In this episode, Spam and Nath help out a listener with some ideas on getting Xenos onto Necromunda. But instead of doing it the easy way, with pointy eared or very bearded Xenos friends, the boys head deep into the underground of the minor Xenos species.

From the ursine/avian/platypus Nicassar, to the lizard-dog Tarellians and finishing up on the Rogue Trader era Zoat, the minor Xenos open up a massive number of options to create gangs, plot devices, big bads and even entire campaigns for us here on Necromunda.

So cuddle up with your brandy cask, get yourself a Buy n Large sized box of popcorn and manipulate your local population into supporting your takeover of the local government, cause it’s time to talk Xenos.

Saxophones!

Hello there Scummers!

Have you ever considered stepping into a new career?

What if it was a way to have great fun, meet new people, exploit them for personal gain and then try to overthrow the criminally false leadership of Necromunda?

If you've answered "YES", do we have an episode for you!

In this episode we look into the Fallen Houses, disgraced former members of Necromundas ruling elite. Their empires have been torn down by Helmawr's oppressive regime, but the fires within them burn even more brightly.

Taking the tone down, we move on to the Narco Lords. Powerful and unscrupulous, these purveyors of poison and vice control chem empires that span the planet, their trade rivalling even the Guilders themselves.

So grab a Lho stick, kick your feet up and be thankful you don't owe any of these subjects a favour, cause the repayments are criminal.

Hey there scummers!

In this episode, we take a look at those unfortunate wretches at the very bottom of both Imperial society and the hive itself.

Mutants and Scavvies are the true nadir of human civilisation, looked down upon as little better than filth, purged and hated for their very existence.

Spamuel gets political, Nathan discusses his ideas on bacon flavoured arms, zombie eating habits are discussed and there is a lot of folks with VERY strange names. (But not Defenceless Dan, he's alright)

So grab your flamer, your mutie bat and some Imperial hymnals, the genejack pound beat is pumping and it's time to quench ya thirst.

Greetings, scummers!

Due to a subtle decrease in pollution from the industrial sectors of level 359, we are pleased to bring you another transmission from the number 1 social entertainment mega show, The Upperhive Lorekeepers!

This episode, the noble sons from high above us all bring the ins and outs of two more of their noble equals, the houses of Ty and Ko'Iron.

House Ty may be a young house, but their power and influence is rapidly climbing. Their knowledge of Psykers and connections to the Adeptus Astra Telepathica make them truly formidable.

Their short tenure as a noble house on Necromunda shadows a long and powerful history, drawing their influences from some of the mightiest peoples of ancient Terra...

The matriarchal house of Ko'Iron are the truest people of the faith on Necromunda.

Their daughters and sons serving The Emperor in prayer and battle with equal vigour. Their armies march upon one thousand worlds on one hundred battlefields with one mission on their mind.

Faith.

So join us once again, as we travel the noble paths, spreading the glorious knowledge from our minds to your ears.

This is Upperhive Lorekeepers and you’re welcome.

Upperhive Lorekeepers theme is Camille Saint-Saëns: Danse Macabre - Xylophone by Kevin MacLeod. Available at https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Classical_Sampler/Danse_Macabre_-_Xylophone/

Hello there scummers and happy 2025!

We are back from our holidays and what better way to start the new(ish) year than with an episode about the biggest boys on the whole planet?

Descendants of the prisoners and prospectors of frozen and unforgiving worlds, the Ogryn are the feral brutality of humanity, distilled, refined and removed from all higher thought. This only serves to make them more dangerous...

We look into the various roles these monstrously powerful cousins of ours play within The Imperium of man, in its armed forces and within the hives themselves.

Whether it is protecting the officers of the regiment, breaking barricades or being the baricade, Ogryns are the peak assault unit of the Imperium of man, the gangs of the underhive and every military force in between.

Remember to get your entry for our nect Listener Lore competition in by the end of Feb.
