  • Episode 48 - The Merchant Guilds. Part 1.
    Jun 27 2025

    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...

  • Episode 47 - Servitors. A fate worse than death.
    Jun 12 2025

    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...

  • Episode 46 - Beards, pipes and assault trikes - Ironhead Squats
    May 30 2025

    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...
