August 14, 2024 Episode 28 - We put the rad in radioactive - House Van Saar
 Greetings, scummers!

It's been one hell of a ride, but we got there in the end!
We are finally at the final house gang of Necromunda, the technologically supreme, House Van Saar.
 
From their origins in the years before even The Great Crusade, Van Saar bring knowledge and powers beyond even those of the most advanced planets of The Imperium and the Lorekeepers have a lot of fun with this one.
 
 
We have a robotic spider, who just wants to dance, a Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus who falls in love with Elmo, Spamuels singing career takes another hit and more gang ideas than you can shake a shock stave at!
 
 
We couldn’t have picked a better episode to finish off our first season with and the sheer number of gang ideas coming from this book will show you why Van Saar are the one thing Spamuel always manages to paint.
 
 
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

July 31, 2024 Our Patreon Episode 001. Dramatis Personae - Episode 1.
Hey there scummers!
It has been a TOUGH fortnight for the Lorekeepers and it’s been damn near impossible to get the Van Saar episode finished in time for our regular release.

So we are giving you all a glimpse into some of what we do on our Patreon.

In this episode, the first of our Patreon exclusive series, we look in on 4 of the Dramatis Personae, randomly picked from our various books.
We rolled up Estus Jet, Jonny Razor, Bigby Crumb and Vandoth The Fallen.
We look into their lore, create a bit of our own, build gangs around them and inevitably devolve into several Caryatid holes worth of conspiracy and reality tv ideas. (Kitchen Nightmares Necromunda, Spring 2026)

July 17, 2024 Episode 27 - When He closes a Caw-Door, He opens a Caw-Window. House Cawdor.
Good morrow, scummers!
I bet when you woke up this morning, the first thing you thought was "I really wish I had more than 7 hours of Lorekeepers to listen to today!"

Well once you hit about 31:45, today is your lucky day!

In this episode, the boys go deep into the holy origins of House Cawdor. Preachers, scavengers, holy warriors and ragged outlaws, the House of Faith is infinite in their piety, numbers and sheer willingness to put everything on the line for The Emperor.
There's prayer, hypocrisy, a cousin named Grub, far too much talk about Spamuel's butt and a fair amount of arguing between our beloved Lorekeepers!

But it all comes together, just as He planned.

I hope you have your prayer book, your pamphlet of Log and a willingness to try living as a rat, cause this episode is a big one.

June 19, 2024 Episode 25 - Clan Merdena. The first family of the Ash Wastes.
Hey there scummers!

Hot on the heels of our Orlock episode, we get into the familial tales of the baddest road boss to ever grace the dusty highways of Necromunda.

Slate Merdena and his 12 daughters, every one of them capable of bringing the might of countless gangers to bear in their own missions to claim power for themselves, their gangs or their houses.

From the daemonically possessed Alyce Shivver, to the flame haired hellion Vespa or even the quiet bartender, Mindi, these ladies are a force to be reckoned with.
So join us, as we talk ash wastes franchising opportunities, Pete Plainsman's hatred of the Space Wolves and how a potato gave birth to The Aranthian Succession.

Dont forget to send your lore to us in preparation for the Gynormogantuanhypermegasode (name still to be decided) and be in the running for some loot on our 1 year anniversary episode.

June 05, 2024 Episode 24 - Iron Within. Denim Without - House Orlock.
Hello there scummers!

It has been a fortnight!
First, the boys give their breakdown on all the
new Necromunda and Necromunda adjacent miniatures revealed this past month both
at the reveal and through Warhammer community.
SECUNDUS BABY!
There is A LOT here, so skip through to about
58 minutes in if you want to get straight to your regular Lorekeeper programming.

Then we learn about Spamuels new gang for the
year! And also gets upset and puts a bounty on Nathan?
But when we get to it, the episode gets into it
proper.

House Orlock!
From their origins in The Spoils of Necromundas
ash wastes, their war on the clan houses, the revolutions within their own house and their current state as industrial powerhouse and logistics arm of House Helmawr, the rise of The House of Iron is a glorious example of how the
thinnest thread of opportunity can lead to the mightiest of houses seizing control.
We meet Tuxedo Morrow, Manvant gets triggered
by drudge hunting, doggos with digi weapons and a party starter named Wilcox.
House Orlock brings it to the forefront with this episode.
So grab your Wildsnake, your shotgun and your
collection of bandanas and don’t forget to recite your Code of Iron.
Gang before House, House before the rest.
Welcome to House Orlock.

May 22, 2024 Episode 23 - Hive Life. Part 3.
Hello there scummers!
Welcome to our very first long range recording of The Underhive Lorekeepers!
The Manvant has been called back to the forgeworld of Mudgee to dig some holes, so we decided it was a great time to dig into some of the obscure lore about 2 more of Necromundas lesser known hives!
Up first, we have Hive Acropolis!
Head down to the markets for a rat meat souva, or to see the travelling caravans of the nomad families, maybe you’ll meet the famous Stavros Helmawr!
Or maybe you’re interested in The Quinspirus Cluster?
Go ahead, take a load off at the beach on the world famous Worldsump Ocean! Go fishing, see the giant pimple and try not to get involved with any of the local privateers.
So find a comfy seat, clear away the empty bottles and enjoy this episode.
This is Hive Life.

May 08, 2024 Episode 22 - Abhumans of Necromunda. The Ratlings.
Hello there scummers and welcome to back to Freetown!

In this episode, the boys take us on a bit of an adventure with the background on those, tiniest of abhumans, the Ratlings.
From their beautiful and peaceful lives on Ornsworld, to their storied history in the Imperial guard, Necromunda is surely the best place for members of this species to end up on.

Whether they're smuggling weapons into hive settlements, hunting giant spiders on hovercraft, mastering their culinary skills or just conquering a hive (one partner at a time), these industrious stunty fellows are guaranteed to bring a new level of skill to your gangs.

So take a seat at our table, there's always another meal coming, cause when you dine out here in The Ratling district, you're always gonna eat your fill!

April 24, 2024 Episode 21 - Mercator Populi - Second Best Guides
Happy hump day scummers!

In this instalment, the boys are joined by Simon (aka 3 Ogryns In A Trenchcoat) from Second best guides.

He gives his villain origin story, his foray into the glorious tradition of Ogryn warfare, picks a terrible favourite lasgun pattern and makes Spamuel apologise on the record.

We talk to him about his website and why he is making it his personal mission to bring life to the non house gangs and make sure that everyone knows how to get their absolute bang for their buck when using them.

If you haven't seen the work Simon is doing, make sure you check it out.

April 10, 2024 Episode 20 - Abhumans of Necromunda. The Beastmen.
Hey there Scummers.
After a HILARIOUS April fools joke, a few of our wonderful listeners decided that they werent exactly happy with your favourite hosts.
So after a few messages, dm's and one particularly soul crushing email, the bullying finally worked and we have an Abhumans episode!
In this episode, we cover the hooved party animals themselves, the Beastmen!
From their questionable origins in the annals of history, their bravery on the battlefields of the Great Crusade to their now punishing lives under the yoke of the Imperium, or worse still, the gods of chaos, the Beastmen have been a part of our history best left forgotten.
So strap on your horn-hats, befoul a settlement, stake your claim on a campsite in Freehold and ride till you die for your noble overlords.
