Has any one here ever had a proper beerhammer game where you play drunk as an ork? My friends and I has allways talked about doing it. But would I dare?
My models are so precious. What if i in my unsober state smash all my or my friends models?

Well? Tell the tale of your experiences, dreams or fears!

Total drunk no, bit tipsy from couple beers yes. Not much of a problem.

40k is terrible drunk. You wont make it through a turn before you are watching random youtube videos and raiding the fridge.

Like said above - tipsy is pretty good though.

I still use my blast templates as coasters on the battlefield...

I'll pregame a beer before heading to the game shop sometimes, but drinking always makes me lazy. If one were to Beer hammer, it would have to be a small game. 750 pts or so.

There's an unofficial varient of Warmachine where when you finish a beer you put the tin/bottle on the table as terrain.

Do that.

When I knew the 7th edition rules well I played beer hammer variants with a friend. The best was a game where we used cans, deep struck them like drop pods with 3d6 scatter only up to one each at the end of the movement phase of every player turn(reroll direct hits), and if they landed on a unit on the scatter dice you took casualties. Then you'd pick the can back up, crush it, and it became LOS blocking terrain.

It was just enough fun to block each other's shooting. Drunk 40k has to be with happy drunks who can be not serious about the game. Otherwise, you'll be arguing, forgetting, and diving in books.

There used to be a very good ork player on these forums that never managed to poperly win a tournament because he always downed a bottle of Captain Morgan during his games

Orks and beer go pretty well with each other. Most ork models are robust enough to survive most punishment without any damage, and they are based of drunk rugby hooligans anyways.

Try not to knock a metal SAG off a 3-story ruin though, it might leave a dent in the table. And yes, I'm speaking from experience.

A couple of friends and I talked about doing a 40k drinking game (my mates had never done drinking games before and didn't want to play drinking snooker with me), the rule would be take a shot each time you destroyed a unit or scored an objective.

Might be quite fun but we worried about: knocking over the table, throwing up on the table, spilling spirits on our models, etc.

Maybe you could do a similar thing with beer if you don't want to get totally gakfaced.

Ha, great question. Our gaming group plays one big beerhammer game (8000 points) once per year (usually in summer).
Last year we didnt even manage to finish the game, because we decided to sing some karaoke...
These games are always a blast and no models suffered any damage (at least until now...).

Ive done beerhammer, just make sure you dont have a rule where for every beer you drink during setup you can add 100 points. Makes for a baaaaaaaaaaad time.

Drinking Snooker sounds like fun.

As for our local group playing baked is a frequent occurrence m.

I've noticed this as well. Shoota boys models are actually T4 in real life.

But to the question, I play against a lot of daemons and dark eldar, so uh, no. Not even tipsy.

Went to a beer-hammer game once.
Not enough space. Too many people.
Host was drunk too early and was the Ork player.
The sober members of the group tried explaining to him he didn't understand that Emperor cursed "Lucky Stick".
He argue for (no joke) over an hour.
The game never finished and that group never got back together. I will never do that again.

I drink pretty moderately (I wouldn't say to the point of being drunk) while playing and really enjoy it. Just be careful with your moving/measuring of guys!

I wouldn't get drunk, but having a few beers and laughing at the dice rather than taking it that seriously can be fun.

It certainly took the edge off the one time my O&G WHFB army, through a combination of bad deployment and bad luck, managed to destroy itself more or less on its own. (Animosity, fanatics, magic & rock lobbas.)
