Episode 63: The Origins of Warhammer | Gaming History & Warhammer Lore

This is a series Under the Hive of Madness that has had in development for a while.  Taking a deeper look, not at the more ancient bits of Lore in the Universe of 40k itself, but at the foundations in science fiction and popular culture that led to the development of the game and its world in the first place.  In this series UHM will go over some of the obvious, and not-so-obvious, connections 40k has to other speculative fiction and gaming sources.  Gobbo is joined by Chac this week for these first few steps into this topic, looking at the Foundation series by Issac Asimov for its contributions to the idea of a "Galactic Empire".  Before jumping into 2000 AD and talking about some of Games Workshop's earliest years in publishing and miniature production.  Under the Hive of Madness is a Warhammer 40k Podcast diving into the Horror and Grimdark elements of the setting, so expect some adult themes, adult language, and more than a handful of Khorney Jokes! Never brush a 4 Armed Emperor's fur in reverse... not cause it will hurt them, it's just being that close will hurt...
