The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast

WAAAGH! Scummers!

Orktober continues here at The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast and this week we're diving headfirst into the lives of three of the most gloriously unhinged Orks to ever grace the grim darkness of the far future.

First up is Tuska Daemon-Killa, an Ork Warboss who decided that fighting daemons was so much fun he'd take his entire WAAAGH! into the Eye of Terror. A decision so spectacularly Orky that even Khorne couldn't help but appreciate it.

Next, we meet Zodgrod Wortsnagga, the legendary Runtherd who believes that even the lowliest Gretchin deserves a chance to become something greater. Provided that something greater involves being shouted at, beaten into shape, and thrown enthusiastically at the enemy.

Finally, there's Old Zogwart, a Weirdboy of such extraordinary psychic power that he can turn his enemies into Squigs. Because why bother defeating your opponents when you can simply turn them into livestock?

Along the way, we discuss Orkish immortality, the questionable ethics of Gretchin management and whether turning someone into a Squig technically counts as winning an argument.
Three Orks. Three completely different approaches to life. Absolutely no functioning brain cells between them.

So grab your favourite Choppa, paint something red and join us for another celebration of everything green, violent, and spectacularly ridiculous.

Hello Scummers!

It’s Orktober, which means we’re kicking off our second annual celebration of all things green, brutal, and questionably hygienic. All month long, we’re dedicating ourselves to the greenskins, their bizarre biology, and the important cultural contributions they’ve made to the galaxy. Mostly violence, but still.

We’re back for our second episode on Squigs, because one episode wasn’t enough to unpack the mysteries of these little balls of teeth, rage, and their terrifying evolutionary choices.

Things get a little philosophical this time around. What is a Squig? Where does the Squig end and the Ork begin? Can a creature that spends its life biting things truly understand the meaning of existence? And, more importantly, why have we spent this much time contemplating the inner lives of something that would happily eat our faces?

Spamuel, naturally, attempts to elevate the discussion into a profound examination of Squig consciousness, only to be bullied relentlessly by a Squig parrot wearing two eyepatches and its pirate companion. Nobody knows why it needs two. Nobody dares ask. The Squig has made its position clear, and Spamuel has been reduced to a philosophical chew toy.

So grab your favourite fungus brew, brace yourself for some deeply unnecessary metaphysics, and join us as we dive headfirst into the wonderful world of Squigs.

It’s Orktober, Scummers. Things are about to get very green, very weird, and considerably more bitey.

Alright you beautiful scummers!

This week on The Underhive Lorekeepers, we’re diving into the wonderfully unhinged world of House Escher’s Dramatis Personae.

We’re talking Betti Banshee, Cyniss, the Mother of Poisons, Necrana and the unlikely duo of Athera and Stix as we dig into their backgrounds, personalities, lore and all the questionable life choices that brought them into the Underhive.

And naturally, Spamuel has once again decided that the best way to discuss Necromunda lore is to pitch a completely unnecessary movie.
Coming soon to a cinema near you: House Escher Marries a Zombie to a Noble Family. Starring Scarlett Johansson.

Imagine Weekend at Bernie's meets The Walking Dead, except instead of trying to hide a corpse at a holiday house, House Escher is trying to convince a bunch of nobles that their new family member is definitely alive and absolutely not decomposing at the dinner table.

It has romance. It has political intrigue. It has zombies. It has extremely questionable parenting decisions and, somehow, it has a scene where Spamuel insists the corpse needs a better wig.

So grab your chem-synths, hide your favourite noble heir, and join us as we explore some of House Escher’s most memorable characters.

Because in the Underhive, family is everything.
Even when some of them are technically dead.

Hello Scummers!

Spamuel has done the unthinkable, he forgot he was going on holiday.
So naturally, this episode was recorded internationally and VERY quietly, because apparently planning ahead is now considered optional.

This week, we take a little look at the future of Necromunda. Where the game is heading, what we think is working, and where we’d love to see things go next.
We also dive into some serious wishlist territory, talking about the books we desperately want to see, the gangs, lore and rules we'd love future releases to explore, and what we’d like to see from Necromunda in the years ahead.

All of this, recorded from a hotel room because Spamuel apparently discovered the concept of a holiday approximately 14 minutes before leaving.

We are professionals.

We will be back to our regularly scheduled programming next episode.

Hey Scummers!

Three years.

THREE. WHOLE. YEARS.

Against all odds, questionable judgement, several questionable hobby purchases and an alarming amount of time spent discussing people living in a toxic industrial wasteland, the Underhive Lorekeepers have somehow made it to our third birthday!

And naturally, we celebrated in the only sensible way possible, by making the longest, most ridiculous opening we have ever recorded.
What was originally intended to be a simple introduction has spiralled into an absolute audio monstrosity. It is longer. It is louder. It is more unnecessary. It is, frankly, a little bit concerning.

We also reach an important milestone in the career of Spamuel, who has finally figured out how sponsorships work.
Unfortunately, rather than waiting for companies to approach us, he has decided to extort them into sponsoring the show.

Is it advertising? Is it coercion? Is it an innovative new business model?
The lawyers have advised us not to answer that last one.

Then, once we finally manage to reach the actual episode, we dive into SIX listener lore entries submitted by you, our wonderful collection of hive dwelling degenerates. Six stories. Six slices of the Underhive. Six opportunities to discover that the people listening to this podcast are apparently just as unhinged as we are.

So grab a drink, settle into your hab, ignore the suspicious noises coming from the sump and join us for:

The Ginormogantuanhypermegasodeiversary, THIRD birthday listener lore episode mega scope larger than life, audiographic spectacular.

Three years of Lorekeepers, six listener lore entries, one catastrophically oversized episode and one increasingly aggressive sponsorship strategy.

Thanks for listening, Scummers. We genuinely couldn't have done it without you.
