And apparently there's a new poster next week. You should check it out. Bricky, what's up? Hell yeah. Uh, yeah, you know, nothing crazy. I'm just kind of here. Living a life, doing my stuff. Um, I played a lot of high guard over the weekend.

Oh, really? Uh, yeah, well, I'm doing a video for it. Oh, okay. It is, it is not as bad as people say it is. It is also not fantastic either. I have much to say, and I am definitely going to go a little against the grain on this one, but it was a time. Also, I have really bad news for everyone that Shai has shared with us recently. So for a long while, we have been using the phrase Dean Kamen to mention a segue as a humorous segue.

Well, Dean Kamen has been found in the Epstein files, so we will. most likely not be using Dean Kaman as a segue anymore. Meme retracted sorry we were not aware it's really funny except for the whole part with the things that happened but it's really funny as a

situational thing. Yeah, that's yeah. That's tough. That's tough me. That's a little tough. Not not feeling so bad about the but well no he wasn't the one who seguesed off a cliff was he? No, I don't know.

Damn. Kind of wish he did now. I was going to say. I was waiting for that to be the punchline to that. Yeah, so maybe no more of those. Never meet your heroes. If it only had been invented by just a man called Arken Segway or something, I'll make it so amazing. You know, you know, based on on.

On the stuff that we've done, Ark and Segway seems like a nicer guy. Yeah. Couldn't be any worse than the, you know, anyway. Yeah. Anywho, that aside, hey Kureoth, you're here to tell us about gang violence, right? Yeah, we're going to take a dip into some fictional, awful rather than real world, just as a nice, just a nice palette cleanser. Because we're going to, we're going to do Necrimunder 2, Electric Bugaloo. houses and go through the various houses of the absolute hellhole nightmare planet that is

necrumunda and all of its horrible waste and pollution and death and interesting alien life forms and the like. I was going to say that was one hell of an arc and segue, Bricky. I did my best with it. It's going to become a thing. I can feel it. It's perfect. I wouldn't say perfect, but yeah, it's the thing, all right.

It's better than what we had before. I don't know. I mean, objectively now that is true. So, as we discussed last week in our first necrumander episode, the planet is an industrial powerhouse that works as a reliable and efficient exporter of arms and other materials for the Imperium. This is not an easy feat, as you can't simply make guns appear out of nowhere. There's an incredible amount of production that goes into these exports,

and we're going to go into some of that a bit more in-depth. Plus, there's also the industry that makes the medicine for the miners that mine the raw materials for armaments or the distribution of information that allows for the forges to balance out their workloads. Necrimander needs to function as a well-oiled machine to assure that the tithes are met, you know, just in case the imperial fist decide to go for a third purging. They might go for it. They might. Kiryoth, I'd like to make an executive decision based on recent events.

I'd like us to not talk about the houses and gauging with minors. Oh, boy. Wow. Wow. Comedy is all about timing, brother, and I tell you, that's some timing, man. Holy. Wow. In Imperial Fiss, I'm an Estratum worker, 200 trips to Necromunda.

Oh, no. Oh, God. I'm sorry. I stole that from a buddy. I stole that from my buddy. Never mind. Just continue. Yeah.

No, the houses. Go ahead. Oh, good Lord. Well, in yet another perfect arc in segue, this is where the leadership of Necrimandah comes in. Planets like our real world, Earth, rely on coordination between various countries and nations. to allow for refining, importing and exporting of goods,

but the idea of countries or even continents on Necremander are non-existent. So in their place, we've got houses of various influence and stature that oversee the highest of the planet and ensure that everything is getting done at the behest of the Imperial House that stands as absolute governance. Some of these houses are dedicated to the goods directly and don't have time to play politics, while other houses with incredible influence shake hands and attend ballroom parties

to gain more contacts and more contracts that they can dispense below them. It's, frankly, a massively twisted and confusing system that somehow is efficient after centuries and we are going to do a bit of an introduction to it. So we're going to go over the great noble houses and the clan houses, but we're not going to go massively in depth. When it comes to details about some of the more gang-based things, they need their own dedicated episode,

which is why this is a trilogy, as you probably guessed. And learning how the basics work now will help us focus a bit more on that stuff in the next ep. So we need to talk about the rise of Marech Helmour because the current line of governors or the noble house that is in charge at the moment, the Helmore House,

this is essentially his not necessarily idea, but it's all. descended from him. Is this the insane dude and his family from last time? Yeah, I was going to say, we talked about Helmore a little bit last time, didn't we? Yes. So it's initially you start out with Martek Helmore and then eventually it becomes House Helmour with a slightly different spelling.

And they are, he started out as a lunatic and covered in guns and armor. And his sort of descendants are funnily enough. still a bunch of absolute lunatics, one of which likes to go around hunting people for sport. So carrying on the good old family tradition. I mean, is Necromunda you kind of have to be that? That's kind of in the... I kind of love the facts that you open that up with like,

he started off as absolute psychopaths, and they still are. Nothing has changed. He's still basically a techno-barbarian. Love it. You've got to give credit where it's due. They're still nutters. They were notters. as before, but they are now as well. Consistency, consistency, consistency. Yeah, come on.

So we'll continue the story where we left off last time with the death of the last free lord of Necremunda, which was Treor-Siberia and the man who killed him, which is Martec Helmour. So this gang lord would rise quite quickly in prominence after the death of Siberia and would wage a war with all the bickering hives on Necremonder in an attempt to revive the Imperium's faith in the planet. He would swear an oath to the Imperial Fist and vowed to unite the people of the planet to restore the Pax Imperium. Captain Gaios of the Imperial Fist would be impressed by this and would take the oath

and they were given the chance to unite the planet without intervention from the Fist themselves, but there was a time limit. He had one century to do it, which feels like him. They didn't give him much time at all. Yeah, really crunching him on that one, aren't they? You've thought after multiple purging They'd be like, you've got one year No, a full century

Then again, there's a lot of people on Necramunda Maybe they looked at it and went He's got his work cut out Even with that amount of time Let's just see how he goes It's not like any of us are going to be in trouble In that amount of time anyway That's true

I mean, when you look at Necramunda You could have said, oh yeah We'll give you a thousand years for this It probably wouldn't matter Like Necramunda is just Good luck saving that. Have fun and report back if you're still alive when things have settled down. After a very long conflict that was basically akin to a world war, complete with full

armies, war machines and assassins, Martec Hellmore would count the most prominent hives as bending fully to his will, and the lesser hives that resisted were cut off and left to their own devices. But before the century is up, the hives that were abandoned would end up crawling back to pledge allegiance. He would consider his oath complete and he would take the mantle of planetary governor of Necrimander in about M-34. Under Marek Helmour, the imperial rule would become a vice grip on the planet and subversive bloodlines would become a target. Bloodlines with ancestors that were seditious would be exterminated and those who feared the wrath of House Helmour would begin to flee into the ashwastes in an attempt to beat the murder

squads that were chasing them. Murder squads, huh? That's what they're actually called. They just murder squads. They just look at their dissonance and they just murder the hell out of them. Like a police squad, but they just, you know, really into their murder. This is necromania, man. What did you expect?

You know, I guess that's fair. I don't know what I expect. There's no. Their trial is necrombuda? Uh-uh. Yeah. The best thing is, it's not even like seditious houses that are like still seditious. It was bloodlines with ancestors that were seditious.

It was a case of, oh, so you're great, great, great, great, great, granddad. He didn't like the Imperium. So I'm afraid you, sir, are shit out of luck. Well, you got to make sure. You got to make sure because then if you're mean to the Imperium, you guys issue with the Imperium, you need to know that all of your children will suffer. And so, you know, that's just, that's just classic fear tactics. I mean, I mean, you know, based, as they say.

I don't know if I would say that tactic is based, but it is a very classic fear tactic, yes. If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid. It's, you know, murderous, but hey, it also doesn't quite work as a scene. I was going to say, I was literally about to say, I don't think it works, Kerea. I'm pretty sure. I'm actually pretty sure a large volume of the night lord's stuff is about the facts that the fear tactics don't work. They don't work at all. And Curze is wrong. But, you know, who the fuck am I, I guess? No, Curz was right. He was vindicated the whole time. Don't worry about it. Maybe, okay, I'll concede that in this specific instance, it's by the street beat and it doesn't work.

But that doesn't change the fact that if something's stupid and it works, it's not stupid. It's just in that case, it didn't work either. So just all around a bad idea. Anyway, look, there's division, right? There's division between the noble clans and house clans of hive primus, and that would be ratified by House Helmore and become the full template for many of the other hives on the planet. There would be a distinct split between these houses, some with a high reputation such as Uranta, waiter,

gorshed mung and Yelanti I don't know why but the word mung that stands out in that

did you just say I mean look can you type to type it out for me because I'd like to I'll give you the full

list and then you can get the majesty of just seen in the word it's like the mong bean yeah yeah

okay I'll say here Kyrioth you clearly were wrong let me say this myself Geranto waiter

gorshed mong and Yulanti come on now yeah curious. Why mung? I want to find out who wrote mung and why they wrote mung.

I would love to know the official reasoning for that, probably because it just seemed funny next to all the others. But these would all, you know, mung, among with the others, would be recognized. Among the others, would be officially recognized by House Helmore

as having a writ of nobility, while others, specifically, Olwar, Hasbel, Jungar, Averist and Orland would be given dominion over the industries within the hive, and everyone else just got absorbed into the other houses, whether they liked it or not. These are the official ones, if you're not official, join, or I'm assuming face the murder squads,

is probably the way that went. Yeah. The last true descendants of Helmore would cement his legacy on Necrimander by bringing the last of the wayward hives into full compliance, But this, funnily enough, just brought about future conflict. The clan houses would begin to rise, and the long gang wars between them for dominance on the planet would begin. The last true gene son of Martec Helmour would be named Jan Helmour, and he would be a frail and deformed creature kept alive in a bed of nutrient cables.

Oh, great. Love no nutrient cables. It just sounds like some kind of dreadnought type thing, honestly. See, I just thought it immediately sounds like massive inbreeding, but I don't know whether that says something bad about me personally, that that's where my mind immediately went. Roll tide. That the fuck, shut it.

He would spend his short life, ensuring the preservation of his family bloodline by harvesting the favorable strands of DNA from the strongest necrumundans and mixing them with his own. He would then create the House of Hellmore and then pass away. And only a few years after the first Vat-born children of House Helmore would be birthed, a full allegiance of noble houses would move in to claim Necrimander as their own.

They'd dispatch augmented assassins to infiltrate the fortress of House Helmour, but these assassins would be met by some of the meanest gangs and bounty hunters to ever crawl out of the under hive. And by sunrise, hundreds would lie dead at the hands of House Helmour. And their control would remain. Failed coups are always good. Love a good failed coup. I feel like,

I feel like we get a lot of those. A lot of those here. Yeah. Just in 40K in general, right? I think it was a huge failed coup back in 30K, right? I mean, I feel like all the coups are like, oh, the Imperium sucks. We're going to take them over. And then the Imperium is like, here's 20 million guardsmen.

Like, oh, okay. Oh, they just like bomb you. from orbit. I feel like as well, the idea of the idea of just, hey, they look slightly weaker. Now's our time. They're never properly weaker. They're never

weaker. They're never weaker. It's still, it turns out once again that like owning most of the galaxy or something is a really good way to stop a planet from stopping you. Yeah. When you have millions of planets under your banner, it's kind of hard to have a moment of

weakness that you can really exploit against the Imperium. One day they'll learn. Actually, no, don't, because it makes for fun stories. So, yeah, actually, one day they did learn, and that was his name is Huron Blackheart, and he has a sick new coterie with him. That's, that's true. Even if his face does look like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit, the rest of them.

Just put a helmet on it. I'll just put a helmet on him, whatever. Does he have a separate helmet spruce? Sorry to, I don't think. I don't think so, but like, there is not a single Chaos Space Marine player that does not have 35 remaining helmet sprues randomly around or will 3D print something like it's fine. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, 100%. So, Yarr Helmour the 4th, Lord of the Imperial House, would inscribe the oath of nobilis. And this would be a document that would be a pledge taken by all of the noble and clan houses of Necrimander to never break the Pax Imperium with full on open war. This artifact would be signed by thousands and would be sealed in the vaults of Hive Primus. So officially, from this point on, there is no open warfare on necrimander between the houses. None. Nothing.

No armies. No big columns of troops marching around. It's peaceful. It's lovely. It's nice. There's no war. Peaceful is a strong word. I was going to say, there was a lot of strong words used there for necromania.

Yeah, peaceful, nice. Those are about the ones I could think of. of right now. You sound disbelieving. I'm mashing the X button. Yeah. Necrimander's nobility and hierarchy,

rulership-wise then, is a strongly feudal setup. To the galaxy at large, up until very recently, Lord Helmore is the embodiment of Necremunder itself, and the planet is for the lord to rule in whatever way

the holder of the title deems necessary. But the house at the head is not the only one with planetary sway. The noble houses also known as the great houses are the true definition of upper crust and are firmly at the top of the ladder. They don't involve themselves in industry.

They're capable of crumbling generations of work with a simple handshake or just a promise since they have an unfathomable amount of resources at their disposal. Also, why is Cretos, why is baby Cretus on their shoulder?

I think we all, all zoomed, as soon as that picture showed up, we all just zoomed in like, what is the cherub? Or is it a cherub? I thought it was, I was like, why is it, why does it also have a smug look on its face? Like the noble, what's going on? It's the horrific, non-feathered demon wings that are getting me. The bat. Yeah, it's coming out of the baby's back.

It's not a cherub, is it? Those blended in with the background to my eyes when I first saw it. Oh, yeah, that's a, that's a demon baby. I'm trying to remember if that's a servitor of some kind or whether it's like a familiar thing that he's got. I can't remember. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of weird genetic, you know, messing about that's gone on with that side of things. On necromania, never. What, that, that puritanical and completely straight-laced place where nothing weird ever happens.

Peaceful and nice, you said, I thought. Yeah, I forgot. I immediately forgot about that. Yeah, it's peaceful and nice. There's nothing untoward at all. No, no. It's true. Could be one of his kids. Good Lord. Oh, the wiki says,

Known children. This list is trimmed down to list children, notable enough to have been presented in story form. For a complete list, see the list of known hellmores. Implies a good chunk of kids, doesn't it? A certain thing A percentage of all Necromundans are related to Genghis Kong Yeah

Something like that Mm-hmm So these huge noble Oh yeah 17 kids that he acknowledges us his Which also I mean of course means that there are probably twice as many That he pretends doesn't exist Surely There's got to be

Presby is only twice as much Yeah What are we said So we have decided at this point that Lord Hellmore simply loves to fuck. He absolutely loves it. And as such, the list of kids is a mile long. But only 17 of them are his, all right? Don't push it, okay?

He knows which are his, and it's just this lot. Ignore all the others, especially the ones with weird bat wings. Who's going to push him on it? That's true. It's like, you know, kids, sir, are you? You need to acknowledge your child. Why? Fair point, sir.

Like, like, yeah, like, what, like, who exactly is, like, going to have the right to tell him you got to do this? He's the guy. Someone that is not fond of living, I would assume. Takes all sorts on Necrimunder. So the, uh, the noble houses, they will do whatever they can to secure things like shipping and landing rights and licenses for trade and concessions for tides. They work for the favour of the house in charge

but they scheme in the shadows hoping that they may have a chance to take over the planet but they don't do it on their own they tend to hire out folks to do the work for them usually someone below them like a direct mercenary or more likely an intermediary from a clan house which we'll go into in a little bit

of course nothing is permanent on Necremander and the influence of the house is waxes and wanes sometimes influence can vanish from a house to the point where they fall from the ranks and become fallen houses. For the noble houses, they'll almost always attempt to claw and retain some status and may make a push to become a clan house, and some can be successful, but most of the time this is just not on the cards. Fully fallen houses are a major threat to the major house, like the main houses on the planet, because they have the potential to so discontent within the

population. And so the lords of these fallen houses are hunted down and, killed to ensure that the fallen house is fully eradicated. See, peaceful and nice. As you do. This is just camar, but watered down. Yeah, kind of. Just a little less depravity, but only a little. A lot easier to find, though.

It's true. It's true, and you probably don't want to go to either of them, to be fair. In time, the names, and influences of these fallen houses are forgotten, as the history of necrimandah is lined with the names of many houses that have just crumbled into nothing. For example, House Aranthus was once a great noble house that suffered an incredible plague that decimated the numbers of the house's population.

Its origins are unknown, but it was believed that it may have been as a result of an insult against House Helmore at a party. Hardcore response to that. Love it. they destroyed the house over a perceived insult at a party. Whoa, whoa, you said perceived.

I mean, how do you, like, like how do you know it was, it was a perceived insult? Clearly, desperate measures needed to be taken because it was truly a real insult. Ah,

you're so right. How, how silly of me. One of them probably asked, of course. Yeah, I mean, one of them probably asked about the,

weird wings on his kid. And that was it. Just don't bring it up in public, leave it alone. I'm going to kill every single person in your house. Where'd your creepy-ass familiar come from? Whole house dead. Yeah. The dwindling population of house aranthers made them vulnerable and they were unable to prevent attacks and they also weren't able to handle the debts that were now getting out of control. Their assets were seized by Lord Helmore. And the members were either absorbed or killed as far as everyone knew at the time. We'll get on to that later. Oh, I was going to say, what do you mean as far as everyone knew?

It's fine. It's fine. Don't worry about it. It's not like there's an incredibly powerful psychic lunatic who used to belong to a house around that's running around. No, nothing like that. The names of every clan house and every noble house that has ever existed resides in a tomb that is kept away within the Grand Libraries of House Helmore and is known as the Necromundus Nobilis. It's protected heavily with annihilation fields and guardians around the clock, assuring that even the lost names are

still remembered in some way. But even those who fall and crumble find a way to survive, and they will be driven by vengeance, and their existence alone is an act of rebellion, which is something else that we will get to next time. The enshrinement of the oath nobilis would kick off the first great clan war over the industries on the planet. I just love that. Here's an oath that suggests we are not going to go full-on war with each other anymore. We're not doing any of that. Immediately, war.

Fantastic response to that. That's kind of how 40K works, isn't it? Yep. We've declared peace. Actually, no. Check K LOL. Well, house Hasbel would be completely eradicated. House Ulwer would split in two into House Oli and Ulrak,

and the noble house Mung would fade into history just as well, because let's be honest. No one. No one wants to be part of House Mung. Man, the noticeable disdain you have whenever you say like Mung is just, they, no more. They're gone forever. It's just, I don't know why. It's just not a good word to say out loud. I don't know.

It just, it doesn't sound right. You've got all these noble houses, all these like, sort of interesting and sort of sci-fi-feeling names. And then you've just got house mung. It sounds like it should be like an or like an ork tribe or like some sort of weird tier in it or something, not like a noble house on like a high world. Yeah. Yeah.

almost sounds a bit like an insult. I don't, I don't really know why. It just kind of... You fucking mong. Yeah, it does. It sounds like a slur. It sounds like a slur, man. I don't know how I feel about it.

Well, in a way, it doesn't matter because that house is gone. Except for the brains of their patriarchs, which would be sealed in stasis in the hopes that the house would be rebuilt again. All the while, House Helmore is for, find all of this as long as the quotas are met. The great noble houses of Necremunda for quite some time were House Helmour, Catulus, Ty Yulanti, Greem, Ranlo and Coaion. Coi-Iroion. There you go. Sure, that's close enough, right?

Yeah, sure. Necrimanda is ruled between all of them, and they have wealth that is so great that they have vested interests off world. And this assures that those interests are kept going. So, D.K., here you go. Oh, boy. Their highest ranked grandees spend as little time there as possible, preferring instead to while away their artificially extended lifespans

beneath exotic arbors on faraway worlds where the scum of the hive cities can never intrude. Yay. Yay. I mean, sometimes you just got to get away. You just got to get away to a nice... Fly away, even. Fly away. I nearly said Ireland because of the start of this episode.

And now that's all I can think. Oof. Oh, shy. I actually think it's a joke on Ming Chinese dynasty because there is highly sought artifacts related to Hmong. Mung vases and Ming are known for porcelain vases. You know what? That makes absolute sense.

I see that now. That does make sense. Yeah, because there are, you always got those Ming vases. That's damn, shy. I might be on to something. I cannot be a part of this conversation. Unfortunately, there's a particular meme starting off with Ming Dynasty, and it's, it's eaten my brain in such a way that the echolalia has gotten quite bad. And I can't, I can't be a part of this conversation.

Oh man, I feel like that meme is like right on the tip of my brain and I can't remember what it actually is. I won't make you say it because yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's okay. That's okay. Is it racist? Maybe it's maybe a little racist. That's why I'm not saying. Oh, no.

So. Listen, someone in the viewership will know of the Ming Dynasty meme I'm referring to and I just, it's all right. We can move on. Yeah, we're right on. Let's talk about House Catalyst, all right? Let's talk about House Catalyst, which is also known as the House of Masks. There might rival that of Hellmore itself until a Civil War divided the House. So much time has passed that it's unknown as to what caused the conflict,

but the end result is known. After 100 years of infighting, the victorious members of House Catalyst reclaimed their name and exiled those who defiled that name and forced them out into the ash wastes. This is where it gets kind of hardcore, by the way, and we are about to come up to a sentence that I read and immediately asked Possum what the hell those words in that order meant. But we'll get there in a second. The leader of House Catalyst is known as the Faceless Lord,

and this name fully reflects their truly mysterious nature. It's a good name. I'll give them that. The depths of their organisational structure are not known to the other great houses. One thing that is known is that they have a very strong relationship with Clan House Vansar, but the intention behind this is not really known. The reason why this connection is known is because of the enforcers for House Catalyst, which are known as House Catalyst Carnival, and it's a Retribution Squad that's made up of a group of about a dozen or so individuals.

The Carnival is led by an individual known as a masked killer. I mean, subtle again. We like some subtle labelling there. And the masked killer has a literal clown car's worth of vansar weaponry at their disposal. They also have something at their disposal known as a mind-fraid. And this whole sentence is just a mess to me, which is the opposite of Clown Girl Hong Heaven and is more or less, it's not even finished, and is more or less a fucked-up nightmare jester gimp-sue. Bloodhound, which I believe is an entirely new sentence.

I don't think anyone's ever said that before. They may have said that in Pulp Fiction, I just don't quite remember. Something close to it anyway, yeah. Bring out the gimp. You good? It's the whole thing. Yep, I also just got, I mean, what is happening? What is that?

Yeah, I was going to say that, like, black and white picture you posted, shy, they look Really cool. And then that colored one? Nope. I retracted my previous statement. They're freaks. I mean, like, what, what, uh, an aesthetic to go for for your noble house? We are the great noble house catalyst and we fucking love clowns. We just love them. Absolutely love clowns. Can't get enough of them. All of our guards dressed as clowns. I mean, why? You, you, you, you, say that, but like, you know the

Harlequins are out here being like, uh, amateurs. True. True. Fair. And yeah, I like, yeah, yeah, clearly you should take your complaints to the dude right there. Look at him in the eyes and tell him how you feel about his clown, his clown outfit.

Does this just mean that the, this just mean that house catalysts are just weaves for the Harlequins? Is that, is that, is that basically where we're at now? There's no. I think they're just, I think they just like clowns. You know, I think they just like creepy clowns. I don't, I would imagine Necrimona doesn't even know about like Comorah and Kegarack and the Harlequins and they're just freaks. They've got to have some.

I like the idea that they just are freaks, yeah. Coincidentally, there's a freak out there that's very similar to them, but no, they're just weird. Convergent evolution, but specifically for dressing like a clown and murdering people. It seems unlikely, but. Lots on the globe figured out religion all on their own. Whereas clowns, murder psycho clowns. It happens way more often than you'd think. It's really weird.

So they send out these mind-fraid to flush out enemies into traps set by the mass killer. Which, I mean, to be fair, I mean, you would run away from that guy, 100%. Not even a question. Then we have House Ty, and this is one of the youngest noble houses, and claims to have a connection to ancient Japan. They have adopted many customs and attire that is reminiscent of feudal Japan, and this makes them stand out in a stark manner compared to their other more ancient cohorts. What? Because they're dressed not like clowns.

They specialize in espionage and communication monitoring, and to accomplish this, they have more psychas than any of the other noble houses and supply a major amount of recruits to the Astra Telepathica. Many of the astrophaths and psychers that you'll find within the ranks of Lord Helmore are clad in jade robes and are a product of House Thai. It's rumoured that because of this, House Thai is aware of all of the secrets being communicated around Necrimander from House Helmore, and they may be receiving some compensation to keep all of this information under wraps.

Good position to be in, handling all of that stuff, 100%. It's waiting to hear about the Thai fighters and their armoured stuff. Oh, no. Oh, dear. God, that's set me of your coughing. No. What, Curia? I don't know why that would send you into such a tis. Oh, dear, Lord.

I like this lady that, uh, that shy is posted. Oh, yeah, she looks really cool. Yeah. Got a real cool vibe there. Very neat looking garment. I like the mask. I like the hair. I like the, um, parchment with all the text on the front.

Good look. Oh, wow, at first I didn't even realize that was a mask. Well, her face could just be cracked like that. Cybernetic and stuff, yeah. It looks like it's a mask. Yeah, that looks dope. Oh, my. Solid-looking.

I was going to say, they kind of look like some of the shit from cyberpunk, but obviously feudal Japanese. But, yeah, that's a cool vibe. I like that. The way that house Thai handles all these communications and stuff, and it makes the other houses very uneasy. And they also have a deep connection to the clan house Delac, which doesn't help. Delac is basically just a bunch of freaks in overcoats.

It's a great gang, but they look creepy as hell. One of the tricks of their trade that helps their abilities monitoring-wise comes in the form of the Onimodo Covens, which I believe those two bits of artwork are from. And it consists of a duo of a very powerful telepath and a null that work in tandem with control collars. So the telepath is able to peer into the minds of whatever group or gang they're sent out to monitor and the null

is able to keep the telepath in check and under control. They are an incredible asset in the under hive for house tie. And there you go. Now there's the two of them. That's a sick looking couple of minis right there. I like that. Yeah, that's really dope.

I would want to proxia was in for literally anything. Yeah, they got like a geisha kind of vibe. going on there, right? But imperial. Oh, that's so sick. Yeah, they are solid. The hired guns part of Necremunda, there's just so many good models in there, it's unreal. So we're going to move on to House Yulanti, which is one of the oldest of the great houses on Necremander, and they have decadence that runs deep in their veins in more

ways than one. They've got a Victorian appearance and attitude, which screams opulence. They also own the moon and use it to blow up panda bears with surface to air missiles. I'm sorry. So I know what you're doing. Blowing up panda bears, right? I know what you're doing, Kyriath. I know what you're doing. You're doing the thing where you say something so insanely outlandish and then just

try to move on from it. However, while I would not like to give you the satisfaction, I unfortunately can't help myself. Explain yourself now. Thank you. Yeah. I was about to say, we're not just skipping that. We're not glossing over owning the moon and blowing up pandas.

I mean, it's pretty much what it says on the tin. They own the moon. They have surface-to-air missiles that are on the moon. And they use them on rare species of animal. As you do, you know, you've got to relax, all right? Necrimand is a tough place. You've got to chill out. Oh, this is recreational?

Yes. Yeah. Oh. I thought you were telling us to relax. Like, relax, guys. They're just using moon surface to air missiles to destroy endangered species. Relax, you need some time on Necramundit to enjoy your hobbies. And it's like, okay, Gary.

Oh, geez, I didn't know you were such an anti-conservationalist. I just hate pandas. That's what it is. I just can't stand pandas. Those big rolling fat fucks that's falling out of trees. Hate these things. All right, send the ICBM. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it's pretty much what it says on the tin. Even by the standards of Necremander, it seems a bit wild. But, hey, it's their money, and apparently they want to use it to shoot things from the moon. And really, who's going to say no to that? Literally no one, because they own it and as such can do what they like. What opposition to be in. Also, the style, again, is great. But it really is hammering home just how mad.

the clown thing is. I can't get over it because we keep seeing stuff that is objectively, like, here is some cool older stuff or historically inspired stuff, but made sci-fi, and then you scroll up, and it's just... Psycho clown. And it's on what happened? What is going on here? So I would agree with you. I know there's a lot of people who like this card, though. Card? Clan. Card? Sorry. In front of my desk, there's like a magic card, and I think I just looked at it, and like my brain did that thing, you know?

There's that one clan. I forget what they're called. Esther, the ones like the punk rock chicks. Yes. I mean, you say out of place, and like, maybe this isn't entirely out of place, but I always found them to be a little bit strange compared to some of the other clans. To the point where, like, I don't necessarily think that the clowns really stands out that much. It's true. Escher are a bit, like, they are hugely colourful. They've got all the sort of, like, punk-ish gear going on. The hair is all over the shop. Yeah, you know what? I think, I can see it. I can see it. I just feels, I don't know, correct. Yeah. Hey, listen, if that picture is of a Klan Esther person, I will, I will hear no complaints about them. Yeah, no, listen, it's a, it's a bunch of strong punk. women in revealing clothing.

That is the vibe of Clan Ether or whatever, Escher. It's, listen, man, it's what it is. But, you know. And it's great. Yeah, listen, I'm just saying, I'm feeling the Geisha a bit more than the punk rock. I mean, yeah, the cybernetic geisha is a really cool vibe. But, yeah, you know, I am a man of simple tastes. Oh, yeah, the Clan Escher assassins are pretty, are pretty,

rad. What a hedge dress. The biggest hair of anything I've ever seen, but they're still pretty cool. Almost Jane Tsar levels of hair going on there. But, funnily enough, House Yelanti, all their money,

it comes from House Escher and their connection with House Escher and the production and sale of chemicals. Because there's no business quite like the drug business, and they could very well be the most wealthy of all the great houses. But unfortunately,

their money is spent equally on their extravagant lifestyles. Their spires look like the ballroom scene from Labyrinth. They eat food that is impossible to find in the galaxy, and they drink only the finest spirits. But because of their prowess in trade, their longevity is almost always assured. Then we have the Great House of House Greem,

who are in the business of war, but not in like active participation. The nobles in the house have never seen combat, but they do wear uniforms decorated with medals of valor, and they carry ornate weapons that suggest a storied militaristic history. They treat the spires if they are generals in active combat, so it should be no surprise that they are the owners of major swathes of weapons manufacturing plants around the planet. Oh, hell yeah, they're like sundowner.

Like the good old days after 9-11. Oh, yeah. I guess, yep, that would fit. See, that's just, so they're their arms dealers, basically. They're massive arms dealers. Yep, yeah. That's sick. Massive arms dealers,

cosplaying as the people they're selling the weapons to, which is honestly kind of, kind of cool. They own the tithe structure for the militia regiments that are provided to the Astromilitarum. So there's at least a direct connection there. And those who are commanders, oh house cream for their position.

And the house inspects every, single ordinance created by the clan houses and only marks the finest ones with their family symbol. The borderline delusional nature of this house, cosplay with stolen valor, is tolerated by House Hellmore because ultimately their militaristic support acknowledges the importance of the role of planetary governance and it reinforces their control. Powscream is a strong connection to Clan House Goliath and provides them with contracts for weaponry for the guard and supports their efforts with lower ranked nobles that act as military advisors that test their weapons and explore tactical options that are known as creed masters. Those two look fantastic. That general

guy looks so good. I was going to say those minis are actually quite sick. Yeah. There hasn't been like a bad necromunda mini so far. Like they've all been kind of quality. This is the thing, especially with the hired guns. The worst Necrimandumina mini that you can get is one that just looks like not as good as the really, really good ones. Like there's not a bad model in there. They are all good. It's just some of them are like properly exceptional. That guy's prosthetic leg being like a decorative lion's claw is incredibly extra.

It's great. Might not even be a prosthetic leg. That might just be his boot. Going all in. Yeah. You know that cane has got a sword in it as well. It has to have an additional sword in there, surely. You know, if he was actually a soldier, I would say, yeah, that totally has a hidden blade in it.

But since these guys are all like stolen valor, it's probably just a fucking cane. It might have like a panic button on it that would summon actual soldiers, but yeah. That's such a good idea. Don't make me press the button on top of my cane. Why? What's it going to do? Well. Murder squad.

Oh, hang on. You're wrong. You're wrong. Oh, my God. I'm wrong about the house I just learned about. Who could have seen this coming? Oh, you know what, actually, I can see the hill of a power sword. Yeah, that's fair.

he does have a parcel. Oh, is it actually? I think the skull, the skull is forming the, what's it called? Like the guard, the, yeah, the basket that goes over your hand, that's not what it's cool. That's going to have really enjoyed a lot of people. What is that cool? The basket that goes over your head, eh? I can literally see the, uh, the premier chat going mental over that.

I mean, to be fair, I don't know what is. actually called other than maybe like a hilt guard or hand guard or something but the basket that goes over your hand is wild. That's definitely I almost want to Google it now just to find out but I won't.

It's not that. We're going to move on swiftly to House Ran Low and these are the bank of the planet and they manage the debts, checks and balances for Necremander as well as ensure that the money remains tight with the ruling house. This puts them in a unique situation where they have more revested interest directly in the leadership of the planet

in an imperial house sense, so they are absolutely hated by the other great houses. House Ranlo does not require opulence or direct political prowess, which the other houses need to hold on to power, as their strength lies in the total dominance on the finances of the planet. They don't intermingle with the other great houses, and they deliberately wear dark clothing and serious gals to make them look unappealing to others. They really don't want anyone to talk to them. It's great. And they have a direct connection to Clan House or Locke for reasons that will be very obvious a bit later. They also have something called an auditing conclave, which are two hired guns that you can summon during a fight. And it's, I mean,

it's sort of what it sounds like. Auditing the cash flow. Auditors. I mean, I do like the idea that they're just like, they're just like the ultimate centrist. And they're just like, yeah, we're not going to, we're not going to get involved with any of this shit. Mm-hmm. And they control all the finances. They don't have to. Simply not needing to get involved with all of the bickering must be simultaneously such a nice position to be in and also incredibly stressful because you know that literally everyone else here hates you with a burning passion. And they would love to get rid of you.

Yeah, but they can't. I would imagine it's just kind of peaceful because, like, well, they want to get rid of us. Good luck. We control your finances. You can't touch me, bitch. They sign off every official communicate with that line. That's their signature on their email. So we also have House Co-ion, which has an incredibly tight connection to the ecclesiarchy.

and Bricky will be happy to learn that it is a matriarchal house whose greatest exports are members of the adeptus sororitus Why would I be having to find the ladies Oh just because it's a sister's thing Yeah, I mean that's cool, that's cool In fact, not only that

Many believe that this house was established at the same time as the adeptororotus itself during the age of apostasy and they have very strong ties to the ministorum that's helped them claim hive Teminos as their own, and they enjoy the comfort and trust of the sororitus, as well as the company of Clan House Cordor, which will frankly make a lot of sense when we get to it. Finally, though, finally, we have Great House Aranthus. Now, we've already covered Great House Aranthus, you know, the whole insulted House Helmore, got the plague,

everyone got butchered. Pretty much, that's the story of this. What an insane group of miniatures. It's so good. I was going to say, is this way low or is this the other one? That's co-iron.

I was going to say, that is insane. That one in the middle I was like, I thought that like the yellow headdress thing was like hair and I was like, damn, with how despondent and tired that one in the middle looks, I was like, damn, that's giving kind of shy vibes. Tired and despondent.

Yeah, and I'm like, damn, that's so shy. That's so shy coded. Just take that scepter out of its hand and put in a bottle of Jack Daniels, and it's a mirror image. Wow. I do like that the two Fraterius bodyguards have got like a bishop's mitre on. That's a fun touch. Mm-hmm.

Nice look. Such cool minis though. God damn. Oh, so good. Love him. So, we were going to talk about House Aranthus, even though House Aranthus was wiped out by a domino effect that started with a plague and ended with the destruction of the house and the absorption of its assets into the other houses. Thing is, one of the final sions of House Aranthus dying wishes was for her bodyguards

to keep the name alive and carve a territory for them in the under hive. These bodyguards and their captain were able to keep the name alive in the under hive for a brief time and the territory carved out would be a haven for those who were once servants of House Aranthus. Hellmore, however, would find out about this, not be happy about it and order its destruction. Again, technically, though rumours would carry through the hive that the captain and the bodyguards weren't killed and managed to escape, potentially keeping the House Aranthus name alive. Thing is, the name isn't the only thing that survived, because despite the rumours of the death of the children of House Aranthus, they weren't truly gone. House Helmall would hold them as prisoners in caskets sealed on Hive Temenos in the depths of the Cathedral of the Emperor Deified.

One of these children was a powerful psychic named Azostium Aranthus, and for centuries he would remain alive, fueled with psychic energy and rage, hoping to one day destroy. the entire bloodline that killed his family lineage. And funnily enough, last F, we saw a picture of him, and he looks like an absolute lunatic. And I'm just going to get the other angle of him, because he looks incredibly messed up if you take the right options for the model, because he's got bits of his face missing,

so that's nice. That's what you want to say. see. It's 40K. You know, yeah. There we go. There's him without his armor. Oh, that's him?

Torso. And that's him with his armor. So you've got a choice as to whether you want the sort of Balthazar Gelt looking. You've got all the nice, all the nice armor components there. Or you can have him with this rotten face out and his torso that's covered in weird mechanical stuff. I had no idea that this was him. This is the dude who was trapped for centuries In a coffin basically

He's been down there He's unhappy He's still alive and he's full of hate Yeah, no doubt Wandering around Yeah I'm sure he's very pissed off Also man you say he had bits of his face missing

That's not bits He's got less face than head Well a bit is a relative phrase You know I guess Yes, but he's missing at least a solid quarter of his face. Like, his skull is protruding out. I mean, when you phrase it like that,

you really do make it seem like he's missing like more than a bit of his face, which I will consider that is exactly what I was trying to get across, Kariath, yes. I will concede to perhaps he's missing more of his face than I remembered. I thought he was just missing a bit, but that is a, yeah, his whole like mouth is just. just out there, is gone. Yeah. That's pretty bad.

Gone. Yeah. When you said a bit, I was like, oh, he's probably got like some scars or something. He has some pretty gnarly stuff going on like the side or something. Probably not that bad. Man's whole skull is protruding out of his mouth. Yeah, he also doesn't have a nose, which I totally forgotten too.

And you can see part of his forehead. All right. Okay, so he's missing at least a quarter, if not a third of his face. Mass version looks. so cool though. I mean, they're both great for different reasons, but yeah. Guy comes out of his horrifying psychic

coffin full of anger, immediately grabs two babes, sends off to go killing. Based. I mean, I mean, that image. Also, also, who the hell is the chick on the left with the insane servo skull?

And, um, giant powdered wig. Why do I feel like we've I talked about her before. I think we talked about the one on the right. The one of the right has a mini. Yeah, the one on the right is Lady Helmore. There you go.

Lady Credo is the one with the amazing wig. And the other one is the older model of Lady Helmore before she got her amazing spirea suit. Yeah, where she had to have her legs chopped off to be able to put in it. But, you know, it means she can kill things better. So, you know, easy, easy choice. Keep your legs. Or, yeah, it was just murder people more easily. I know which one I'd go for.

Let's not forget the servo skulls that carry her coat around. Yes. It's very important. So good. This is just, I mean, Nakramanda is, I think, one of the most underrated systems that Games Workshop do purely for miniatures. Because I think a lot of people ignore it.

because it's just like, it's just necrimander. But they just routinely throw out absolute bangers. Like, like Lady Credo is just an insanely good model. And everyone should buy one, potentially,

if you want to. And they made sure to make very thigh forward. We see what you're doing, G-W. Very, very high heels, too. That feels like a, that also feels like a new sentence

along with the gimp suit bloodhound, very, thigh forward. There's no way I'm the first person that said it's very thigh forward. That is not even possible. Maybe I'm not moving in the right circles. I need to find more thigh appreciators out there. I would say you're

probably moving in the right circles. Excuse me. Now we did mention the spyrusuit and that actually has worked out quite well because we do need to talk about spire hunters. Despite all of differences, the noble houses do have one thing in common, and that is that they like to challenge the young nobles in the houses to prove themselves, and they do this with spira teams. When we go through

the gangs and units themselves will go a bit more in depth, but each group of spiro hunters from each noble house has some unique traits, like how the female spiris have ran low wear a dark braid on their body suits, while the hunters from house tie do extensive training with one another and the houses militia before descending into the hive. Now, we've mentioned clan houses quite a bit, because we've got the great houses and the clan houses. These are the ones that are on the lower rung right below the great noble houses. And there are loads on the planet, but the six most powerful clan houses have power and influence that rivals that of the great houses themselves. In some instances, more so, because the clan houses do not have interests of world and are relegated

to nothing more than vassals for the great noble houses. Their presence and influence can range from hive city to hive city, but on hive primus, balance exists between the six most powerful clan houses as a part of a deliberate policy established a long time ago. This policy also strips the clan houses of some of the privileges and luxuries that you'd find in a great house. The people of these clan houses are confined to the main layers of the hive, and of course have had to get used to cramped,

quarters and a bad, dank quality of life in the hives itself. The ones that manufacture goods and hold ownership of major injury, industry, are these clan houses. Ranges from food and medicine to armaments and even information itself, and these goods are traded between the clan houses and also directly with the great houses to not only allow for goods to leave the planet in a manufacturing sense, but also to gain favour and potential new contracts from the great houses. The web of these trading relationships is, simply put,

Pepe Sylvia levels of complexity, but it somehow remains efficient. Especially since they all don't like each other and don't get on, and are also like proxies for war, and then still have to trade stuff at the end of the day. What a mess, what horrible mess to be in. Even if the clan houses are competing against one another, They're pretty much all reliant on one another, whether they know it or not, and the tightness of this web means that an absolute collapse on one or more of these houses

could cause irreparable damage to the order of the planet itself. This, as you can probably guess, is a deliberate strategy imposed by the great houses so that their wealth can be maintained regardless of what happens below them. The rich, having self-interest first and foremost, surely not. No, no. That's silly. That would never happen in real life or fiction. No, no, of course not. I mean, there is a few things.

I mean, imagine there are few goals in the houses in Necremunda more than keeping your power. Yeah, keeping it or expanding it. But you definitely, you definitely just want to cling on as much as you possibly can. There's so much backstabbing and nonsense going on. The thing that ties them all together, like if Their houses range from full-blown enemy to close ally. How can things be distributed across the hives without it turning into a full-blown trade warfare, chaotic mess? This is down to technically one group that stands between the great houses and the clan houses,

and that would be the Merchants Guild. So the incredible burden of industry and development of their respective duties is quite enough work for the houses to hold on their own. So when the laws were created to organise them and establish some. degree of order, there were laws created to allow for neutral transport through these guilders. Their work has made them as wealthy and important as the houses, but they're an almost entirely insular group that is so secretive that they speak a language to one another that only they understand. That is proper levels of introvert. Love that. Yeah. They own known territory within the hives as they live where their work takes them. Sometimes they'll stick around the domain of a

particular house for a while, but they are often just wanderers. There are very strict laws within the houses, as well as the hives as a whole, to protect the guilders, and their total safety is guaranteed by the imperial house on the planet. That protection, of course, comes at the cost of their ability to own property or interest on the planet itself. The gilder families vary wildly in wealth. Some will have a presence in the spires and be responsible for literal empires of cargo fleets, while others are nothing more than lone speculators who trade in hopes of inadvertently stumbling across a gold mine that could boost their status. To assure protection, the guilders will sometimes employ the services of the population, and this can vary also when it

comes to affluence. The higher-ups will get something more militaristic, while the guilders in the bad zones may have to employ the services of gang fighters. You can always tell who a gilder is and what family they're part of by the heavy chain they wear that has a badge on it. The more on either badge, the higher their status and the more wealth they have. These badges guarantee the trading arrangements that they have on behalf of the guild and is both an electronic and physical seal of their dedication to said guild. They basically offer the closest thing that any under hive bloke will get to a bank account by allowing for the storage of large sums of money.

and the guild will then dole out guild credits that are honoured as currency by the guild in the form of bonds and tokens. The bonds tend to be ceramite chips that have an imprinted value on them, while tokens and smaller chips are used as pocket change within the hive in the form of credits. And these credits can be used sometimes to buy things directly from the clan houses. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty cool. For goods and services type stuff.

It sounds about right. Logistics. That's cool looking though Oh is that what they look like I think that's the part of the Water Guild The Merkator Mercator I'm probably misremembering Or at the very least

Mispronouncing what that is But I Absolutely Yes it is Yeah the water trading guys I have a picture of There's a merchant guild that has a monopoly on water.

Yeah, it's great. Oh, yeah, look at that. And they're literally doing the trade deal meme. Oh, yeah, the hands together. Also, damn, that is a big ass mech. That's a really cool mech.

It's a crime the Votan don't have that. The Voton should have a meck like that. If I had to believe, that is actually just a diving suit. They send that guy down. He goes into some of the sumps and stuff, and he's got all this fresh water and stuff attached to him. You know, that might be his main purpose,

but it's also a very intimidating thing to see if you're like, oh, yeah, let's negotiate a deal with the Water Guild, and that big trucker shows up. That's an intimidation factor times 10. Oh, so good. again just every mini legendary stuff you know i'm not gonna lie that those guys

are very ad mecoded to me and they kind of almost remind me a little bit of the new ad mech when they got shown off today which i'm sure you've seen kirioth yeah the the centaur the centaur archmajas yes the the little the little doodads that follow her are like fine but like she looks sick I really like the

I mean it's not just on on her but I feel like it's very obvious on her the thing of especially like tech priest's just going do I need a modular thing or do I just attach every tool I need to my body permanently it feels like there's a lot of that going on with her

with just the sheer number of arms and stuff going on and the different tools it's great love it now the six mightiest clan houses are Cordor, Escher, Goliath, Vansar, Orlock and Delac. Each one of them has a major control and influence over one very specific industry and export on the planet. Goliath controls manufacturing and the processing of materials. Escher controls chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Orlock controls the mines and transportation. Vansar controls advanced weaponry in tech and Delac has a hand on the control of information and data, while Cordor controls the recovery of raw materials and services.

Dutch from the hellish refuse, sludge and ash. House Cordor is also known as the House of Redemption due to the cult at the centre of it. Their faith is tied to the cult of redemption, which is tied to the imperial cult, and it foretells of universal destruction and completely dictates their entire existence. As breaking the rules will make a member an outcast.

They are not allowed to show their faces in public, and instead wear elaborate and disturbing masks that immediately give away their house affiliation. Essentially, an entire gang of religious fanatics with the most janky weapon setups you've ever seen in your life. It's full on primitive gun-on-a-stick territory for most of their guys, but they do also have that lot, like the redemptionists, who just look insane.

I'm going to say that looks a little more advanced. is this where the sisters come from this house or have ties to? So, yes, yeah. The noble house that has ties to the Adeptus Rortis essentially have a very close link to this lot, which, I mean, looking at them makes a lot of sense. Yeah. These look like that people that would come from like the pyromancer and verminite. I know it's, that's fantasy and that's old world, but like, same vibe.

I mean, yeah, there's a whole lot of preachy stuff going. There we go. So if you scroll up a little bit, you can see a lovely bit of here's a gun on a stick with a knackered blade attached to it. It's also crossbow used for launching some sort of grenade. Sure. Are we really going to call that? That's almost, I guess it kind of is a cross. I was going to say, it's almost just, you know, a one-man, uh, ballista?

Belista? Yeah. Yeah. Like, God, that thing is as big as he is. The real thing. That does look like kind of just a warhead on a stick, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's more like a, yeah, ballista probably is the better course for it.

Yeah. So janky. It's just so, like, cobbled together. It's great. Their relationships with the other houses are. strained. Can't imagine why. Looking at them. Sucking.

They give off the impression that they're a house for paupers and degenerates. This is not helped by the fact that they are one of the most populous houses on the planet rivaled only by house Orlock. Their ties to the imperial cults, despite how bastardised it is, ties them with house

caon because it provides them with incredible numbers and gains them favor with the ministorum. Their great house provides them with Holy Artifery, and these icons only intensify the devotion of the members of House Cordor. Finding treasures that were passed down or cast away is ultimately the key to Cordor's success, as their main means of work is that of scavenging and reclaiming. They view the act of recycling as a manifest miracle

and do the dirty work the other houses don't want to that is actually deeply helpful. Recycling through heaps of waste to find vital artifacts and relics is an incredible gain for House Cordoor, and they view it as a truly holy activity and they only acknowledge the emperor himself as a leader and not the likes of Lord Helmore. So they're fanatical dumpster divers. Yeah. They're major fanatical dumpster divers

that believe diving in your dumpster is holy and yet they are actually very, very helpful with it. That's kind of funny. Yeah. They're recycle. They're all about their thing green, right? They're all about preserving the wonderful world of necrombuda. Oh, look, there goes House Helmour's private jet.

Oh, now it's going, now it's flying off again. I can't believe Taylor Helmore is out there still flying on their private jet, wasting all of our pollution. I need fan art of Taylor Hellmore if someone could get on to that. I don't know what you do with it, but. You might be getting to this, but what's their relationship with the Imperium? I'm trying to think of, like,

I don't know, how do you, how do they deal with the tithe and stuff? Or is that for a different episode? So for Necrimandra as a whole, basically the entire setup of the great houses and the clan houses and the merchant guild, a massive chunk of that, or the purpose of that,

is to ensure that the tithe is paid. So you've got all this backstabbing and constant nonsense going on. But at the end of the day, everything's set up so that the great houses are still able to pay the tithe when required. And it will stop, hopefully, the imperial fists coming down and giving them the third purge in however many hundreds of years. But yeah, that's kind of where the oath noblist comes in. it structures everything so that all the manufacturing that takes place and all the chemicals and the Ashtra Militarum regiments being raised and the Adeptus Rority stuff being recruited, all of that ghost the Imperium as it should,

without the great houses and the clan houses absolutely murdering each other constantly. I guess I sort of assumed that like, like I know the fists are always there watching them, but I guess I wasn't sure like how they dealt with it unless the, the amiss strata, I guess they're, they all are like, yeah, enough, all this backsteading, but okay, hey, everyone calm down for a second because slaughter is coming back down

from up top. And we don't want to deal with that right now. The S word. I can't believe you invoked the, the forbidden word in this house, in this, in this place. In the year of our Lord, 2026, bring up slaughter.

Yeah. My God. Sorry. That way it belongs. Oh dear You Slaughter was mentioned 25,000 times

Oh no Shee Hate it Anyway Anyway Arkin segue We're going to Aulkein segue to

How's Goliath They are the masters of the furnaces And they render raw materials From the mines of House Orlock And they are a well-oil machine of raw power The members and workers of House Goliath Live up to their name Which, believe it or not, is VAT-Born

Is they are bred almost like cattle And they are larger than space marines Wow They're chunky lads They're big They are monstrosities And brutish giants That are bred to work and work alone

They're a nightmare to be around because they are extremely mentally unstable and they are short-lived due to their specified physique that makes them borderline abhuman. There are other members in House Goliath that aren't born in vats or are born naturally and they're called unborn. They are people who go through space marine-esque surgeries to make them fit in the ranks of House Goliath. They are stubborn and prideful about how much stronger they are than everyone else, but the other houses view them. as barbaric and idiotic. They deck themselves out in chains and braces that reinforce their brutish strength and their leader is known as the over tyrant.

What a name. Yeah, that, that also, wow, that, cheesh. What is that? It's just Bain. I was gonna say it looks like Bain just juiced up on venom. Yeah, that's the over tyrant. What's so?

Oh no. That guy, the bottom one. Oh no. He's Mongo MeatFist! Yeah, that's Mongo MeatFist of the knuckle boys. Wait, my hero. Mungo MeatFist of the knuckle boys.

You're right, these people are morons. Yeah, that's so stupid. No, this guy's my new hero. This is my new favorite 40K character, Mungo MeatFest. Mongo MeatFest. I thought we dealt with House Mungo earlier. No, that was house mung. Oh, my bad, my bad.

Get it together, Bricky. Mung meat of the knuckle men. Oh, my God. That's, oh, Jesus, that's so good. Good old mongo. Mungo meat fist by itself wouldn't work. Neither would the knuckle boys. But mongo meat fist of the knuckle boys is borderline poetry.

That's amazing. Oh yeah, there are some smaller Goliaths, but they are mostly just giganto freaks made of muscle and instability. For a complete contrast to the Goliaths, we have House Vansar, who are exceptionally wealthy due to their almost mythical ability to produce advanced technological components, but this comes at a grave cost. Wait, before we move too far on, I have to ask again, because I know you said this, but I want to get back to it. What in the ever-loving fuck does House Goliath control again? Oh, so they, they like render down the raw materials from the mines and stuff. Oh, so they're rock breakers, basically. Yeah.

That makes so much sense. Oh, yes, they are also slavers, but they're mostly shoveling heavy stuff into furnaces. It's generally what they do. That's 40K, like, nobody's perfect. Whoa, hold on. Shangle the corpulent. Master of a thousand cages. Overlord of the House of Carnage.

King of the Iron Pillars, chain lord Mercator sanguice. Wow. What a lad. That's a lot of titles. Not a lot of great titles. Oh, boy. Master of a thousand cages is wild.

That's some behavior right there. God damn. Yeah, standard millwall fan right there. That's just what they all look like. I'm assuming that no Millwall fans listen to this. I would tell you, Melwar. It's a football club that had a reputation for a little bit of hooliganism. I don't know whether they still do, only that they did at one point.

Mind you, I think that applies to most football clubs, so maybe it's unfair to tar them with that brush. I still will remember when I went to London, and I forget where I was. Hampton Gardens, I think. I don't really remember, but I remember going there on a Friday, and I heard a whole bunch of people yell in a football thing in a bar, you know, some kind of like football chance. And I was like, oh, damn, is there a football game on? The person I was with was like, no, it's tomorrow.

They're prepping. And I'm like, what the fuck? You've got to get your practice time in or your chance aren't and be good at. There was like 30 people in the bar singing some kind of thing about like how the opponent's team like bangs goats or. something and like and I'm just and like yeah yeah they're getting drunk the day before

like what? Yeah you got it you count for carry over time so you stay drunk when you wake up and get to the pitch right? Yeah you've got you've got maintain a nice buzz before you get there and that means starting at least 24 out of that

you can't let the buzz die down and then be you know cognizant maybe maybe I'm just too much of a city person but I thought London rocked. That was a great time. It's pretty good. Except for all the people right outside the subway

or the tube or whatever trying to give me to sign up for shit. And I had to tell them to fuck off. That was that was not as enjoyable. But we got that in New York and stuff too. So whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Where was I?

Oh, yeah, Van Sar. Okay. I got so distracted by, I'm just getting distracted by the, that gif of the Iclan fan falling onto his face. or free man. It's such a non-graceful fall, but he really tries to save it. Anyway,

so, Van Saar, they can produce amazing technological components, but it comes at a grave cost, because their name comes from the name of a vessel known as the Van Saar. It was a science vessel full of settlers that was on its way to Aranaeus Prime,

now Necimander, but was swallowed up during the events of Old night. In M35, it burst out of the warp and crashed into the ashwaste. Whether it was nomads who claimed the ship and took the name as their own, or whether it was the surviving crew attempting to establish a name for themselves, it doesn't really matter. What does matter is that what was on the ship was an STC. Unfortunately, this STC was unstable and despite its ability to provide data and assist the house with creation, it's leaking deadly doses of radiation constantly, which means that the house members need to wear protective suits to save them from their own work

and their almost permanently irradiated blood is constantly filtered through machines with rad purgatives that keep them alive. Despite the seeming inevitable collapse of their house, they are deeply dedicated to it and the products that they make. But you do get very cool toys. This is the thing. They might all be on their way out because just to get the tech they use is killing them quickly but hey look at that red shit you can fight with all this is the classic sci-fi

like looking like Avatar Blue People type shit Hey you've got so much so much cool tech That's so cool Those mecs are so cool Oh man just even their regular

armor is just wildly Just God damn I'm out here of the belief that the original Avatar movie did too good of a job making the humans look rad as shit and create a whole bunch of like colonialism and imperialistic fans of Warhammer because of it.

You know, the amount of people that I've heard be like, oh, you like Avatar, the humans were right, huh? The humans should have won, right? And it's like, um, no, no. But it's really funny to, to act like they should have because their stuff rocks. I mean, their tech does look cool.

Also, because Sam Worthington is a really mediocre main character for the first movie. And the general is way cooler. So, like, unfortunately this made him too sick. Quorich is very cool. That's the guy you're thinking of.

Also, I do like the gear we got going on here with these people. They look really, really cool. Also, it's always radiation, isn't it? Like, in 40K,

it's always something. Something is irradiating the thing and you need special equipment for it. I felt like a warhammer 40K, there's always something. Yeah, I guess you're going to stop there. There's always something. They do look totally different from literally anything else,

which just makes them way cooler than they have any right to be. I mean, yeah, you get cool, like, tech dress. Red locks and stuff, weird shields, green goblin flyers, kind of. I mean, what's not to like other than dying just to get that stuff? Not only dying, like dying horribly, because this is radiation sickness, which is like an awful way to go. Oh, that's the worst, yeah. You just slowly break apart and just wither away and, well...

Yeah, but you got to spend an afternoon a sick arachno suit. so yeah totally that's a fair trade eh you say you wouldn't go for that trade isn't this the one with the lady who's in the big suit

that like huts people for fun so she is just a she's just a member of house Helmore the spires are like their own separate thing I believe the spira suits are essentially it's reckoned that they're either

like dark age of technology stuff or alien stuff. I can't remember which one it is off the top of my head. But those suits are ones that are essentially discovered and then used by noble houses. So there's a little bit, like, there's a little bit of similarity sort of aesthetics-wise. I think the colour scheme was the same. That's why I was kind of like... Yes.

Yeah. Yeah, the colour scheme, they definitely did confuse it slightly by making them. effectively the same but they are different things they just for some reason didn't do a good job of showing that

you put those next to one of those arachny rigs and you would be forgiven for thinking they're from the same lot oh yeah definitely they look similar but

mad mad stuff the Spironsor don't have to like remove their legs to be in one of their suits though right no no they get to you know

have a normal a normal existence in which is that's possible on Necrimanda And honestly their suits are cooler So like, you know Yep Actually

Kyrie of Shai's actually Oh is the Iraqi ones They have to have the legs Cut out from them There's so much surgery required For this planet God damn

Well You gotta make a living somehow Oh yeah And Sardroops And Spira suit Trading together Of course Ah so he's happened to be a photo

fighting together training. Gee whiz, why would anyone ever confuse the two, right? Oh, and they're going after the mal-strain gene stealers. Sick. Love it. Right. House Escher. Let's talk about the, like, wild punk women.

They are a different house. So keen. They are very different from the others because of the obvious one. They're made up entirely of women. but this is due to permanent damage to the Y chromosome of their population, courtesy of their prolonged work in their specific field. They produce a truly staggering array of pharmaceuticals that range from drugs that enhance genealogy to your more luxury market.

It's them that provide the hormones that keep the bestial members of House Goliath so big and the rad purgatives for the systems that Vansar uses. For their work, they of course receive plenty of wealth, but they also require raw biological material. They create unique and strange life forms for their own personal use, as well as pets for the great houses. House Escher has a reputation for pride and arrogance, and they pity all men, and particularly loathe the brutes of House Goliath, despite giving them drugs. There are, of course, some males in House Esher, and this is how they're doing. This one's for you, Bricky. All right, almost without

exception house escher's males are withered imbeciles and breeding is possible only by the most arcane process of chemally induced pathogenesis i'm getting a little bit of like uh on this episode of the writers barely disguised fetish with with this one a little bit yeah this one is definitely given those vibes for sure like this sounds like one of those like new ground games you would play in like 2008 where it's like only one man remains and he's trapped on a space station with many fertile women has this like same kind of initial prompt

but on the upside they do have excellent hair so you know it's not all bad wait what's this one's called oh just Jareen the wildcats I mean it's a fine name but it's no mungo meat fist is it

no it's not I mean she looks great their aesthetic is really cool it's just you know it is like the big hair on the nose big hair and lots of guns, cool stuff.

You know, the chemical-induced parthogenesis, eh, you could do without that. Well, I mean, if a bunch of withered imbeciles aren't doing it for you, we also have House Orlock, and House Orlock year, they're ranks for House Escher. Ranks are gang sister and little sister, I see.

Oh, and Goliath's Big Daddy then, eh? Mr. Bubbles Would you kindly stop that? Thank you. Minus 2. Screw you both. Screw you shy for minus 2. Screw you, Kirov for saying it out loud.

Okay, let's talk about House Orlock, because House Orlock yearns for the minds. And on Necrimandah, the Tumondor, the tunnels and debris run deep. As mentioned in the previous episode, some of the raw waste material and chemicals has had reactions due to the harsh environment and has transformed into actual minable minerals and Orlock is responsible for the mining of this stuff. The thing that helps them out most of all is that not only do they control the mines, they also control the routes and lines that connect them. They protect these lines from the prying hands of other houses

as well as the Ashways nomads with their caravans of intimidating outriders. They are almost too good at their jobs as their extensive mining has resulted in the collapse of certain areas around the planet and have been known to cause things like hive quakes and ash quakes. Imagine being so good at mining you accidentally sink and a whole spire. Legendary work off House Orlock there. I feel like House Orlock would be like hired for this thing, you know? It almost kind of feels like I would hire House Orlock to be like, yeah, hey, can you dig underneath that other person's spire? Yeah.

I was going to say, if they're regularly causing like hive quakes and stuff, does that mean they're good at mining or actually kind of not good at mining? If you're causing hive quakes and cave-ins all the time, doesn't that make you relatively not great at mining? I mean, that's the sort of insult that's going to see your entire house get the plague. Oh. Is that a murder squad outside? The largest group within House Orlock are known as the drudges

and they're essentially serfs that work in the mines in dedicated hard labor. All houses employ some degree of slave labor to get stuff done, which isn't surprising. But what is surprising is that the drudges of House Orlock are considered members of the house. And through work and proving their worth, they can work up the ranks and be promoted and become important members of House Orlock.

This is very appealing to a lot of people who live in Necremander, who are in some degree of crippling poverty, as it's a bit of a way out. It's not an easy way out, but it is a way out nonetheless. So House Orlock has actual trickle-down economics. Yeah. But like, does it, like, you say that. Does it actually work? Like, do they actually get out?

Or is it kind of like a pipe dream? No, if you work hard enough and you do well enough, you can actually, you know, elevate yourself up through the ranks and end up being in charge. They actually do value work. I'm getting the feeling that's kind of one of those things where it's like, yeah, one out of every like 40,000 slaves might get elevated or something. Oh, I'd imagine most of them die on the job or in gang fights or in, you know, prox. He was, but, you know, every now and again, someone will do well. It's probably a necrumunda book out there about that one in one million that makes it, right? Yeah.

Yeah, probably. But yeah, they are technically, like, they are members of the house. They're not actual slaves. So that's a mild improvement on most of the other house clans, but they're still not, still not doing great unless they really get lucky. Now, we're going to finish off with House DeLac because what a bunch of freaks. So the information on the planet is something heavily observed and monitored by House Delac and it's believed they have spies in every corner of the hives. Other houses look at them with great suspicion and it's fairly easy to do so

because they don't really shy away from outward appearances. They tend to wear very long coats filled with whatever nasty weapons you can imagine and are noticeably pale and bald. Their voices are like whispers and they are so sensitive to the light that they have implanted filter screens to protect them from it. In order to get their job done,

it's believed that they spend quite a bit of their income on chemicals from House Escher to create forced psyches with enhanced foreheads and sell toothpicks that taste like peach so that they can monitor the thoughts of... Motherfucker. For your information,

I'm having mint. Uh, hey, mine are supposed to show up today. Ice peach and coffee are supposed to show up today. Yeah, ice peach one was insane though. Yeah. Should I point out, Potten wrote that? I'm just reading that. No, I'm, I got that.

You still read it aloud, Kiriats. You could have skipped this sentence. It's true. I could have skipped. You chose violence this morning. I mean, yeah. Look, you've heard some of the things I've had to read out here. The Peach one is the most popular.

How many times do that's the word mung? Yeah, but for every mung, you get a mungo meat fist, and that's far better. It's true. The leadership of House Delac is a bit of, yeah, there they are. I can't imagine why people are suspicious of that lot. They look so wholesome and pleasant. They look like Nosephratu. I was, yeah, the old one, though.

They look like old Nosephratu, though, not Nus Nosephra 2. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. They are properly creepy. Like, really creepy. I love them. The governing council of Haustalak is known as the Star Chamber and is made up of members who have a deep and powerful connection with devices known as psychoterica. To understand this, we have to take a step back to something that was mentioned at the very beginning of the first episode. Well, guess what? The Xenos were and are very real and there were more. and there were more than one species, one of which was known as the Dalek. The Dalac wished to achieve immortality

and they created the psychoterica to do so. This device is the collective consciousness of the Dalac and a consciousness that guides the house. But other entities followed the call of the psychoterica, including the Piscians, which we mentioned in the first episode as well. The fish people. The fish people.

Unlike the Dalac, which went extinct, the Piscians retreated deep in the oceans, that exist close to the planet's core, and these Xenos encountered the members of House Delac due to their strong psychic connection. Ancient warriors from the Piscian race would come up from the depths to the enclave of House Delac, and they would place their brains in metal containers

in order to fashion a new form of hunter that is employed by the clan house, known as Piscian spectres. Whoa. That's crazy. So the Piscians... So I understand this. Piscians put their brains into, like, metal jars,

and then the Delac put those into something else to make them specters? Yeah, they give their brains to House Delac. Is that way? You know, this is just like the Kamara homunculus when you really think about it. You know, hey, here's my pinky finger, uh, regrow me if I die kind of thing. sort of they are properly properly mad

they look great but they're just clearly weird alien stuff which um which one oh my god the floating octopus thing that's the Pisci inspector oh who's who's dark arc on the top right

oh uh oh what's he called he's cool as hell though so I believe So we've got a specter. He's a sigeist, I think. Or is he a gul? One of the two. He's a sireguise or a gul.

These are words. These are words. Is he a sigeist or a knack ghoul? Does it matter? What is? This is just someone, someone just went to chat, GBT and make some shit up. Wait, which one?

Recently, they launched some new minis with some dudes with like powdered wigs, big old powder wigs and like skull masks. Which, which house was that again? Oh, hang on. Let me find, let me find the article because I remember that's looking kind of rad as well. I think it was the same release as the, the psycher dude was trapped in the thing forever. Was it the Palinite Justicus, you think? That sounds right.

That sounds right. Yeah. Yeah, the lot that go in and tell... Yeah, those dudes! When I say tell them off, I mean, execute them with a massive axe. Are they part of a house, or are they more like a judicial service or something? So they are part of the Arbytes. Oh, they're part of the Arby.

Okay, gotcha. Yep, they, well, not, to I say Arbites. Technically not. They're part of the Pallonite... Oh, God. They're part of the Pallonite force. the Paloite enforcers. You've got the Paloite enforcers, the subjugators, and now the Justicars.

And technically, I think they do different things. But really, the Justicars, it just murder stuff. I said, guys, this is super important. I was looking at members of Hausdilak, and all gangs in Necrumanda have sub-gangs, kind of like Space Marine Successor chapters. And I found this sub-gang, mind you of Hausdilak, those weird pale Nosferatu guys. Spoiler. Papa Steve, leader of the burger boys.

Bullshit. Mungo MeatFist has competition from Papa Steve now. I could swear this guy has a whole YouTube channel and a and a whole podcast with this Windagoon dude. Papa Steve and the leader of the burger boys. Leader of the burger boys. Yolly. It's on the Wiki bullshit shy. Send the link.

Send the link shy. Bullshit. I'm just going to... Leader of the Burger Boys. And I want to see if it shows up straight away on. The burger. Oh, dear. Oh, no.

Don't take that route. I googled Leader of the Burger Boys. But I forgot to put it in the, uh, in quotations. The first result is West Midlands gang to spend 50 plus more years in jail. Yeah, known gangs. Burger Boys. Okay, well. It's on, it is on, she's right.

It is on the wiki. Oh my God. She's right. The burger boys. Free, free, my boys. Papa Steve. My papa, 25 more years in prison for getting it with no cheese.

What the hell? Christ. Dude, I gotta, I gotta be honest. Necromunda models are, are, actually, I mean, we knew they were good, but I'm, I'm going through them and like, holy hell. Yeah, they're really, really good. Also, I've been, I've been looking at the Spectre this whole time. Is there a reason they don't, like, put any protection around the brain and just leave it kind of hanging out as an open target?

Why does, why does it? Okay, DK, let me introduce you to every Space Marine named character ever. Well. That's true. You've got your face out or your brain out, it means you've got plus armor, so you don't need real armor. Yeah. That's how it works. That's how it goes.

I guess that's true. It's because it's cool and that's it and no one else should care. Okay, fine. It is pretty cool to have the exposed brain, I guess. The lack of cool. Oh, yeah. They're just creepy nosferatu guys. Like, yeah, there's nothing.

There's, there's, there's, that's, yeah. 10 and a 10. I'm not going to lie. I'm out here looking at all these miniatures and kind of like, hmm, I wonder if I could like, because I'm unfortunately, I'm 240K-pilled. So obviously my first thought is like, how can I proxy these for like other,

other cool stuff? But it is pretty cool. Anyway, what were you going to say, whatever you say, Kyriov? You've now just made me think, I mean, could you get away with doing, uh, doing a world eaters force using Goliath stuff?

You probably could. Maybe. Just make them like, yeah. There's definitely some pure strange gene, gene stealers and like spore mines that can be done with that. Yeah. Yeah. The corpse grinder cult as well.

A lot of this we're probably going to go over in the next episode. So we should probably get out of the grapes. But there's a lot. There's a lot. Did you say get out of the grapes? I did it again. Look, I don't know why that particular achievement hunter is still in my brain. No, it's achievement hunter again.

And it's the same reference that I made last time. And I don't know why that's specific. specifically refuses to leave my brain, but it just stays there. Let's move on. Okay. We now can come back to the end of the first Great Clan War and the firm establishment of the houses itself. The order between the Great Noble houses and the clan houses and the Oath Nobilis is clear. The clans are not to partake in open war as it runs the risk of destabilization of the agreement that they have with the Imperium itself.

The key word here is, of course, open warfare. Necramunders exports are soaked in the blood of countless battles and power struggles on a day-to-day basis, but the hands of the houses remain relatively clean. When you get right down to it, a group like a gang or a bounty hunter isn't truly a member of the house, despite their connection to the name. So one last quote for you, D.K., to round us out. All right. Instead of wasteful outright war, such conflicts are settled by proxy.

Each clan is able to call upon the services of numerous gangs to which almost all of its people serve for a brief period, ensuring the wheels of industry continue to turn even as blood is spilled in the streets far below the roaring manufacturers. My brain almost autopiloted and said manufactoriums instead of manufacturers. Well, there you go. That is the nice and peaceful house situation of necromania, which is a good. turns out is just full of horrible bloodshed, just as much as before. But now it mostly happens underground or within spires and not, you know, visibly in front of the Imperium's representatives who are keeping a bit of an eye on the planet. Nice and peaceful.

You keep using these words. Do you think they mean what you think they mean? I'd like to round out this episode with something very important. As I was looking through various types of necrombunda miniatures, and just because I want to kind of really go through them all and see how things are on Givesworth's website, some of that. And I noticed there's a Cy Bounty Hunter named Ortrum 8-8. I know what this is.

Yeah. Orchram 8. I'm so excited. So let's remember the psychic bounty hunter, right? This guy. Oh, boy. I love him. What the hell is that, Curio?

Yeah, what, um, do you have an explanation for that thing? Yeah, he's, he's a psycher. Why is my bed-bound football fan, uh, getting back out up and about and going, getting able to, to hover into the game? What is that thing? Like how you immediately just were like, oh yeah, it's that football fan that was falling down. Look at his face.

Look at his face and tell me that that does not scream the meme. Well, he's got the lazy, come on, England, score some bold goals, lazy eye stare. I don't know what to tell you. You're not wrong, actually, but. Yeah. You've got a problem with. the cybernetically enhanced floating potato.

Like what was the issue? Wait a minute. I just, human potato. It's, it's just, I was wrong. It's just, um, Baron Harconan. But, oh, it is. A bit more.

Floats. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A bit more, a bit more messed up. But I mean, I mean, to be fair, you don't have to have. like the floating potato. You could also have this guy whose own face

is so messed up, he's got another face on his belt. Oh, I'd have that guy instead. I didn't even. This place is sick. Yeah. Yep.

Ah, Kyrrith, he's just missing a bit of his face, right? Yeah, it's just a bit of his face. Just a bit of his face is missing. And then,

to round it out. Just a crocodile. Oh, dick, though, that's dope as hell. Are you kidding? I know,

I know where that crocodile's from. That's from Resident Evil, too. All right. This was great stuff. Everyone, fantastic job. Oh, my God.

Me on my gamer chair. Wait, dude, I've seen that guy. He plays Dota. He still plays Dota. Yeah. He,

won't stop playing do. All right, average average Dota player bottom text. All right. Great stuff today.
