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 declaring open war on Mariah Carey of all people. Heresy takes many forms.
Along the way there may (or may not) be a handful of Christmas carols, sung with all the reverence and vocal talent you’ve come to expect from the underhive.
So pour yourself something strong, pull up a crate by the barrel fire, and join us for a very Underhive Lorekeeper Christmas.

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 men and women of the Astra Militarum (yes, we know, they’re not an Ordo, don’t write in), the Inquisition is packed with forgotten departments, cursed filing cabinets, and mandates that no one remembers approving.
So grab a drink, stop bullying the Ordo Astra (seriously, they’re doing their best), and get comfortable, because once again, we’re talking Minor Ordos.

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, and mind-meddlers who definitely aren’t supposed to exist (which of course means they absolutely do). From whispered rumours in ash-waste shanties to the cold archives of the Scholastia Psykana, we dig through every scrap of intel we can find — and some we probably shouldn’t have.But that’s not all.
Lurking behind the next rusted bulkhead are the Imperial Imposters — those sneaky, shape-shifting scum masquerading as everything from Administratum clerks to full-blown Imperial officials. Who are they? Where do they hide? And are they your neighbour? (Answer: probably. Maybe. Hopefully not.)
Join the lads as they rant, rave, and lore-dump their way through identity theft, psychic crime syndicates, and enough paranoia to make even an Ordo Hereticus interrogator blush.
And remember, if you think you’re safe, you’re already compromised.Tune in, watch the madness unfold, and witness the Underhive Lorekeepers glorious leap into video!

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.
Some of them do it brilliantly… others, well, let’s just say they try their best.
From the nigh-impossible mandates of the Ordo Astartes, to the time-twisting meddling of the Ordo Chronos, and even the glorified star-chart scribbling of the Ordo Astra — the so-called “minor” Ordos are anything but.
These unsung branches of the Inquisition might not have the fame, firepower, or fan clubs of the big three, but Emperor help us… they certainly keep things interesting.

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 than any power blade, to Ran Lo’s merchant princes, who’ll sell you your own lungs back if there’s a profit in it — these two families show that money and murder are often just different departments in the same business.
Expect whispers of poison rings, hive-wide banking scams, and the kind of fashion statements that could get you killed in the underhive. The boys break down the lore, the rivalries, and the power plays that keep Necromunda’s noble houses from ever truly sleeping easy.
So pour yourself a glass of something definitely not toxic, and join us as we climb too high, too fast — to where the silk drips with blood and the credits flow like promethium.

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 society.
Expect tales of Squigs as armour for Necron Praetorians, Squigs influencing the cutthroat world of ork politics, and one particularly enthusiastic Ork with… unusual interests in skin grafts. It’s chaotic, it’s bizarre, and it’s gloriously silly — the perfect celebration of some of the weirdest creatures the Warhammer universe has to offer.
Grab your squig-sized helmet and brace yourself; this one’s a wild ride.

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 horror.
But the modern era reshaped them into something far more sinister. Now, they haunt the dunes as faceless wraiths of the wasteland — moving like whispers on the wind, their motives buried beneath layers of dust and myth.
Mysterious. Deadly. Unknowable.
So buckle in, scummers — this one’s thick with theory, speculation, and a fair bit of desert madness.

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 contemplates the viability of Bloodletter blood as a fuel source, Spamuel ranks the haircuts of his fellow podcasters and there are a lot of plans about a tank company getting built. Also, there is a particular questionably shaped plasma cannon...
This episode is gonna be great for the tank heads in the audience.

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.

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 Canid in their finest redemptionist outfit and say GOOD BOY!
It's time to talk doggos!

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 @grantresilienceteam for hosting another awesome event in the far northern hives!

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, enforce contracts, and maintain the fragile balance of power that keeps Necromunda's economy functioning.
Each Guilder belongs to one of several trade guilds—such as the Water Guild, Promethium Guild, or Corpse Guild—each specializing in vital goods and services.
Their authority is backed by wealth, hired muscle, and political leverage, making them both feared and respected throughout the hive.
I think they are much more dangerous than we realize...

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 betters and those poor few just unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There are far worse things than death in the 41st millennium.
Plus, Spamuel announces a fight tour...

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!

The event the boys are attending in May 2025 is the Necrolympics and it is being hosted by the Nunawading Wargames Association.

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.
