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!If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at  Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

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...If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

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...If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

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...Our Squattish language expert this episode was our mate @irrational_gaz The episode starts at about 17:28.

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...If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

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.

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.If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

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.

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.

Those of us who are about to die, salute you. Welcome to the pits! In this episode, we dive in to some of the deadliest fighters to ever grace the blasted wastes and bloodied sands of Necromunda, the Pit Fighters. Slaves without rights, mutilated by their owners and forced to kill for the enjoyment of their societal betters, these warriors have broken free from their oppressors and have set out on their own journeys. We look into the legalities, the origins and some personal feelings of our own when it comes to this one. So strap on a shield, have an arm replaced with a giant set of sheers and know that not all of us are going to make it out of this one alive.

But we then get into the meat of the episode with the Criminal alliances! In this episode we look into the Rogue Factoria, renegade manufactoriums creating discount gear at prices you would not believe, just don't hold them to close to your limbs, head or bidy. Next up, the Cold Traders. Whether it is xenos weaponry, shipments of black market combat boots or heavily armed mercenaries with a penchant for collecting the teef of their enemies, if the price is right, it's yours.
