So i just got an idea for a 40k minigame to go one with the regular game.
SpicyHammer
The Rules are Simple
1: You lose a Unit you eat a raw Jalapeno.
2: You lose a warlord, Your opponent gains first Blood, or you loose a heavy support/ fast attack in a game where they yield points. You eat a serrano pepper
3: You lose the game. A Shot Glass of hotsauce.
4: Not drinks allowed.
Do you think this game would be fun? Would you play it?

I prefer drunkhammer.

It sounds malicious, evil, and inhumane.
I would play it.

Drunkhammer is superior, this sounds mildly painful, and I like spicy food...

Striphammer if you have the resources

Spicyhammer sounds like torture to me. I'll remember it if I'm ever playing Grey Knights against a Daemon player

My stomach has me seething in pain as I write this, so I think I'll pass.

Isn't too bad, but a few days later I would be on the toilet howling in pain from the horrible burning.

Agreed my bowls do not need to get injured by hot food when I play 40k

How does one "loose" a unit? Is it when the glue comes off or is it when you set them free to gamble around like Bunnies into assault or something?

The word you are looking for is "lose".

But I love jalapeños and hot sauce.

If I were to play this I'd be leaning to lose

Game sounds totally reasonable...until you added in the habanero. You're just asking your friends to hate you, aren't you? Make it a serano-it's not as spicy (won't kill the weak), but it'll make for uncomfortable moments.

Haha great idea! I love all things spicy so I'd be down for it.

I'm a drunkhammer man, spicy things do not agree with me and I'll like to think that while most vegitation would be awful in the 41st millenium, drinking and drinking games can only have gotten better.

Ever since I decided to eat a raw Carribean habanero (can be anywhere from half a million skovilles or up depending on how you grow 'em, basically a anywhere from twice to four times hotter than the normal orange habanero) I haven't really minded anything less. So yeah, I'd be willing to give this a go, but I doubt my friends would be game for it, they'd accuse my taste buds of cheating.

As for the hot sauce, depending on what you go with you can easily break in to "oh God, I want to die!" territory. For instance pure capsaicin extract can measure 15 to 16 million skovilles (it is basically distilled pain). Now that's what I call incentive to win.

Though I'd probably end up having a shot with my friend if I ended up winning anyways, nothing like shared pain to remember the experience.

But on average I prefer Drunkhammer, or as I like to call it Liquid Strategery!

Beer-hammer, as shown by BOLS, sounds more fun.

Then again, I am a little girl (think pink dress and pig-tails) when it comes to hot food, so...

Hmm, almost tempting just to give TFG a shot glass filled with mace...

I would probably kill rule 4.

Spicy punishment is fun and all, but after everyone's had their laugh, get some water (beer, milk, vodka, what-ever-eases-your-pain) and move to the next game-move. Without a drink, the fun in this will dry up fairly quickly I would think.

Alright, But you dont want water, you want Milk, water makes its worse.

I think the aftermath of this game would be called The Eye of Terror.

Drunkhammer wins out over this variation in a few ways. For one, well, no Eye of Terror for two, there's the cumulative effect of drink after drink. In this your lips would probably go numb halfway through the game and while you'd still be uncomfortable, the impact wouldn't be as bad. I would allow water though, as you want to hydrate during the game and keep your mouth/throat from drying out and burning up. Easier to drive home after a game with this though!

Let loose the minis of war?

Never played drunkhammer but this sounded fun. Up until jalapenos were mentioned.

I'd play it, but rule 4 sucks.

On a side note, strip 40k?

I think it's a horrid Idea!


I love jalapenos. But if I wanted to eat them, I would have to lose units.





Being serious, I love the idea of eating spicy peppers and taking shots of Hot Sauce in 40k.

WEAKLINGS! Never Compromise! Ghost pepper all the way!!!

One night after 40k at my old gaming group we went to a pub nearby afterward for wings and burgers. The one we usually went to was under renovation, so we went to another and tried the hottest wings they had. They were "atomic" wings using ghost pepper. Everything I ate for the rest of the night, including my drink, tasted unbearably hot. We had to get ice cream afterwards because the burn was still there!

Honestly this would be more fun if it involved spicy things in food, but then it just becomes a bunch of dudes eating wings and playing Warhammer, which is just a good night in my opinion. As long as everyone gets the sauce off their hands before touching their models and dice, anyway.

If my opponent was hot, female and i was unmarried, sure.. (though i'd rather just skip the preamble and take it elsewhere

( Minis have sharp edges for naked flesh, especially Chaos and DE....)

Most of my opponenents you would NOT want to see naked. Some of them are hard enough on the eyes clad..

I almost got an involuntary nipple piercing courtesy the Cities of Death terrain I was painting this week. Wear shirts when you work on sharp models, kids.

Where was this, out of curiousity? The old Deli Haus restaurant in Kenmore Square had several levels of hot wings, capping out at Atomic. I ordered them once and knew I was in for trouble when I went to pick them up and they stung my fingers. I ate about half the plate then wised up.

Yeah, no sauce on the models. The Colonial GT, for a while, ran a Friday night side event of a wing-eating contest. Most wings eaten in a half hour, or an hour, IIRC. It was pretty epic.

It wasn't in the city unfortunately! It was back when I was gaming in Pittsfield. We usually went to Patrick's pub, but went to Harper's Grub and Grog instead. They have an Irish pizza with thousand island dressing, corned beef and cabbage if you want it! I'm in Somerville now so now it's just Wings Over Somerville on game nights.
