The Oldhammer Fiction Podcast: Recent Episodes
Lewis Davies
We are back with the second instalment of the Konrad trilogy. Jordan Sorcery thought this was the worst of Warhammer novels, I'd argue that its probably not the very worst. Give it a listen and find out for yourself as Konrad begins his pursuit of the brass knight who once visited his village.
For the third anniversary episode of the show we return to Gotrek & Felix with two short stories written for, but published long after, the original GW Books line.
The virus reaches Fort Apache and we learn more about the mysterious Chantal.
Content warning for some in universe racism.
In the first full length Jack Yeovil Dark Future novel, something diabolical stirs in the American desert.
Join The Emporium of Rogue Dreams for #DF28 chat!
In the final part of this story, the three brothers encounter a new alien threat to the galaxy
Three necromundans from three levels of the hive are recruited into the Space Marines and undergo profound changes.
Brian Craig takes us off to another obscure part of the old world where chaos is at work.
A break from the usual Oldhammer programming for a piece of short fiction from the Turnip 28 universe by Black Library author Josh Reynolds.
Its not Oldhammer, but you could argue it has Oldhammer....roots.
We celebrate two years of the podcast with some micro fiction from the back of miniatures boxes...
We're on the road to the promised land in the deserts of a Dark Future.A bit of an adventure into the Dark Future game setting. Learn more about its story with Jordan Sorcery here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nkzjP8r0FM&t=18s
A visit to the Eye of Terror and a visit to Terra.
(Some of this episode is in stereo, so you might want both earphones in.)
Detlef and Genevieve step into the limelight once more and encounter ghosts of the theatre and ghosts from their past.
Konrad's village has a bad time, then Konrad has a bad time, but finds a mentor and receives a history lesson.
For our special Christmas episode this year we are reading the entirety of the source book Waaagh da Orks ( sometimes described as Waaagh the Orks or just Waaagh Orks) Released in 1990 it was a unique work of pure background on the orkish race in the Rogue Trader era, featuring no game rules at all and establishing many of the concepts that are part of the background for orks until today.
It was later accompanied by two more books, Ere We Go and Freebooterz that provided rules and army lists for the orks, meaning that they had an incredible amount of rules and background compared to the next army, all of whom essentially had their army lists in White Dwarf articles.
I have edited out some bits of the book that are dependent on art or models, but this is essentially the whole thing. It's my longest reading as a result. Sorry.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
In this story from an anthology that was never published, a young Vukotich and his mentor encounter goblins in the woods and make a deal with a strange wizard.
