Let’s Get Warhammered
 |
?
It will help considerably if we have these official Warhammer beer steins, admittedly. Not to be outdone by World of Warcraft, Warhammer has created two steins due out in May; I’ll just let the Warhammer guys describe them.
? Destruction
– The Raven Host Ale Stein – A coveted gift from the great hall of the Warlord Tchar’zanek.
Drinking from this stein will grant a +15% bonus to Experience, Renown, and
Influence for 120 minutes.
? Order
– The Order of the Griffon Ale Stein – A treasured gift from the great hall of the Emperor Karl Franz. Drinking
from this stein will grant a +15% bonus to Experience, Renown, and Influence
for 120 minutes.
Ironically, I would actually have to get drunk first in order to ignore my shame at drinking out of these things, but I also have maybe 50 Masters of the Universe figures currently on display in my office, so I fully admit I may not have the last word on what’s actually embarrassing or not. The steins are $100 each, but if you order both you get $20 off — you can see more pics and order them here.
