The Oldhammer Fiction Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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...

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.

Updated- 15/10 18:00 to actually edit a bit I failed to edit.

A storyteller captured in Araby tells the story of a strange duchy of Estalia.

The opening night is getting closer and so is something very nasty indeed.

Updated 17:00 17/9 to deal with a few audio issues and also having accidentally edited out 15 seconds that feature a vital plot point! No one can say this is a truly professional outfit.
