    Welcome back to the Underhive! In Part III of our Necromunda deep dive, we are looking at the absolute wildest gangs, cults, and outlaws scraping by in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.
    From rich kids hunting people for sport in custom hunting rigs that put Space Marine armor to shame, to the Cawdor Brethren riding into battle on mechanical chicken walkers made out of literal garbage, Necromunda has it all. We’re also covering the terrifying Corpse Grinder Cults who recycle their fellow hivers into corpse-starch, the sneaky psychic weirdos of House Delaque, and giant mutant crocodiles flushed down the upper hive toilets.

    In this episode of Adeptus Ridiculous, Bricky DK and Kirioth dive back into the nightmare industrial hellscape of Necromunda to meet the families running the show. From the "upper-crust" Noble Houses who own the moons to the grime-covered Clan Houses keeping the forges burning, it’s a world of corporate backstabbing where the "HR department" is usually a masked assassin.

    The Great Noble Houses: House Ty and their psychic spies, the decadent House Ulanti (who literally blow up pandas for fun), and the mysterious House Catallus that brings a literal murder carnival to the hive.
    The Clan Houses: GigaChads of House Goliath, the pharmaceutical queens of House Escher, and the irradiated tech-wizards of House Van Saar who are slowly being killed by their own STC.

    And much more!

    Welcome to the first part of our deep dive into the absolute industrial nightmare that is Necromunda. Often cited as the "textbook example" of a Hive World, Necromunda is a planet where the history is as blood-soaked as its geography is treacherous.
    ​In this episode, Bricky, Kirioth, and DK explore the planet’s early days as the "Araneus Continuity," its brutal "liberation" by the Imperial Fists, and the sheer audacity of a population so large it makes modern Earth look like a deserted island. From oceans of toxic sludge to the shifting, microplastic dunes of the Ash Wastes, we’re breaking down why this world is a complete setting in itself.

just finished episode 3 and feel comfortable giving it a rating. I'm really enjoying this series. Neat 30 min - 1 hour packages of lore, which often reflects on information given in previous episodes, allowing me to piece the universe together.

I can understand if an expert speaking about what he loves could get carried away and ends up going on a tangent about other related topics, but in this podcast the host successfully tells a story, without straying too far from the topic in hand.

Enough information is given to provide an idea for the warhammer lore, but not an overwhelming amount. Its pace is steady, giving itself time to reflect and laugh at the ridiculousness of the lore, some of which got a chuckle out of me.

I'd highly recommend this to others who want to look into the warhammer universe.

Exactly what I was looking for

I love ad-Ric because it is a light hearted podcast which goes over good lore while making it very enjoyable at the same time. I think that dynamic of DK slowly learning about 40K is great, and I like to think I have learned with him. This podcast is for people who want a laugh and want to learn at the same time, but I would hope is still helpful to those well versed in the gameplay (not me) if they wanted a laugh or wanted to learn about a specific faction, oh and one more thing (shyismyfavouritepersoneventhoughsheisonlyactivein thediscordplskeeponyellingatbrickyandDKandbrickyilovedyoursubnauticaseriesandORKSORKSORKSORKS)😁

DK “what’s this faction?”, bricky “oh my dear sweet summer child?”

I had been an admirer of the Warhammer franchise (40k and Fantasy) for a number of years now but never truly dived into the lore properly because it seemed so daunting and I didn’t really a clue where to start properly but then I found these guys !!! And they really made this grimdark world come to life as well as poke fun at the most Ridiculous aspects of it And if you guys are reading this Thank you!

Hilarious, informative but most of all Ridiculous!!!

I came across Chris Hammer via Audible editors weekly pick, I now race to download every now release. The narrator Dorje adds even more excitement to every chapter. Can not recommend enough.

Good
