The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast

Merry Christmas, scummers!

In this festive episode, the boys holster their stub guns, loosen their flak armour, and take a more relaxed stroll through the sump as they crack open the mail sack and read letters from you, our long-suffering, much-loved audience.

We tackle the questions you’ve been itching to ask, share a few laughs, shed the occasional manly tear, we somehow end up talking Mexican food and Spamuel ends up decla...

Hey there, scummers!

After the suspiciously positive reception of our last romp through the Minor Ordos, the boys once again strap on their gear, laminate their definitely real Inquisitorial credentials, and march right back into territory the Administratum insists doesn’t exist.

From a barfly named Mike, who somehow founds an entire Ordo between drinks, to the many-headed confusion of the Hydra, and the eternally put-upon me...

Hey there, scummers!

Strap in, strap on your tinfoil hats, and maybe keep a shotgun under the bar, because in our first-ever video episode, the Lorekeepers are diving headfirst into the murky sump-waters of conspiracy, psychic skullduggery, and downright dodgy dealings in the dark corners of the Imperium.

This week, we shine a flickering lumen on the Psi Syndica, that shadowy cabal of sanctioned psykers, rogue telepaths, ...

Hey there, scummers!

In this episode, the lads crack open a few amasecs and take a merry wander through the lesser-known — and let’s be honest, occasionally less effective — ordos of the mighty Inquisition.

While they might not boast the infamy or raw authority of their illustrious cousins in Ordos Hereticus, Malleus, and Xenos, these smaller cogs in the Imperium’s grinding war machine still play their part in keeping humanity safe.

<...

Greetings, scummers!

In this episode, the boys pull on their finest rags and sneak into Hive Primus’ upper spires — where the air’s filtered, the drinks are poisoned, and the nobles wear more jewels than sense. We’re talkin’ House Ulanti and House Ran Lo — two Great Houses that prove the real bloodshed on Necromunda isn’t in the sump… it’s at the dinner table.

From Ulanti’s glittering court of assassins and arranged marriages sharper...

OI LADS! HAPPY ORKTOBER!

In this episode, the boys dive headfirst into the green tide with this month’s theme: THE MIGHTY ORKS!

They’re tackling the unsung stars of Orkdom — the fungus-fuelled chaos puppies known as Squigs. From their murky and oft-debated origins — whether borne from Tyranid hive fleets or the whimsical scheming of the Brain Boys — these little horrors have wormed their way into nearly every corner of Ork societ...

Greetings Imperial.

In this episode, the boys venture deep into the shifting sands of Necromunda’s outer wastes to uncover the truth behind one of the planet’s most elusive factions — the Ash Waste Nomads.

Born in the dust and forged by exile, the earliest Nomads of Confrontation and ’95 weren’t the spectral hunters we know today. They were traders, scavengers, and killers when the road demanded it — more human than horro...

Hello there, scummers!

In this episode, the boys get in touch with their inner tank enthusiast and talk about the true protector of The Imperium, the Leman Russ battle tank.

From its discovery on a far away xenos planet, to the many variants and battlefield roles this powerhouse of a vehicle takes upon its mighty form, the Russ is the anvil upon which the enemies of mankind are smashed into a rightful oblivion.

Nathan cont...

Greetings, scummers!

The boys are back and in this episode, they delve once more into the Merchant Guilds of Necromunda and the almost limitless influence and power they have on our every day lives.

Spamuel admits who his favourite child is, Nathan has an issue with mustard on a meat pie and the lads have a VERY uncomfortable conversation about owning people.

This episode gets dark.

If you have questions, complaints, corrections or sug...

Hey there Scummers!

As we head into season 3, we have jumped head first into a topic that one of our listeners REALLY wanted.

Dogs are more than pets on Necromunda, they are members of the gang, loyal protectors and willing to throw themselves in front of enemies to save their masters.

In this episode, we discuss the furry companions, with a few surpises thrown in there for good measure.

So grab some treats, dress the C...

Any of you mammer jammers got the 8th + 9th of November 2025 free for some gang violence?!

Well if you’re in Scotland for whatever football/murder match you’re watching, get down/up/across to Falkirk and play in Aggression 3!

2 days of dice, destruction, scummer love and stabs at each other about how ridiculous it is when people play “thematic Goliaths”.

Get around it kids!

Many thanks to our brother  @grantresiliencete...

Hey there Scummers!!

In this episode, the boys take a wander down to the marketplaces and dive into the very sellers and purveyors of trade themselves.

The Guilders.

The Guilders of Necromunda are powerful and influential figures who control the flow of trade and resources across the hive cities.

Acting as intermediaries between the noble houses and the underhive, Guilders oversee commerce, ...

Hey there Scummers!!

In this episode, the boys jump in to something that puts the grim in grimdark, the body in body horror and the cruel in cruel and unusual.

The Servitor.

From the poor souls damned to be turned into little more than tools for The Imperium Of Man, batteries for Mars or even worse fates further afield.

From slugs grown for specialty processing, criminals damned for their crimes against their better...

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 s...

Greetings and salutations, beloved Scummers!

In this episode, the Lorekeepers have been asked to discuss the history, effects and legality of one of the more unique factions within the 40k universe, The Frateris Militias.

These citizen crusaders take up arms against the enemies of mankind, guided by their faith and spiritual leaders in wars and conflicts across the galaxy.

If you have questions, complaints, correctio...

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 ...

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...

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...
