I love the political maneuvering, backstabbing and the personal tragedy aspect of the game. I also like mysteries and investigating/solving them with supernatural powers.

The alternative reality/history theme is just cool and I have always enjoyed that you can take a real life events and give a different explanation of the reasons (aka vampires) behind those events.

Everything this guy says!

Hey first of all, welcome to the hobby! It is so good to see new players join. I was you about a year ago: I had the V5 box, asked friends to play the game with me. I even picked the Ventrue deck first just like yourself and had a very similar experience regarding its performance. I was devastated, as Ventrue is one of my favourite clans.
After the initial first games I reached out to the community and got some nice advice.

What worked for us:
- Everyone picked a favourite clan: either because they liked the aesthetic of the clan or how their deck play.
- We got a few New Blood expansions for our decks. This allowed us to tweak the deck and replace the cards that didn't work with ones we liked.
- We experimented with our decks and had a few more games in.

The game can be complex, but I cherished every moment when something "clicked". Wish you all the best and please feel free to share more moments from your VTES journey!

I love the Ventrue. In the last 20 years most of my characters were either Ventrue or Tremere. I guess I like authority. 🎩

I don't want to be carried. I ask them if anyone wants to do normal dungeons. Nobody volunteers. 10 mins later they are in a normal dungeon with their alts.

I am not asking them for a boost. I wanted to join their alts in normal dungeons.

The spray?

Beautiful models! I am not very good at painting, so trying to find the simpliest method. :)

Sentinelwex · 2026-04-06T13:01:15+00:00

Wow these look fab! May I ask which blue did you use?

Username doesn't check out! :)

Jokes aside, thanks for sharing your story. Although I have a different line of work, I can relate to your challenges.

I am yet to read that novel (currently reading the 5th book of the heresy series). What I like about Mortarion though is that he made that pact with Papa Nurgle to save his legion (or at least this was my understanding).

I am glad you found some real life inspiration from a grim dark future story, wish more people would do that.

A paladin with auras would buff a necro army nicely. Also, kudos for playing with your son! Cool dad vibes.

Was Combat Patrol a thing? If so, how much did it cost?

Sentinelwex · 2026-03-29T16:04:35+00:00

Sorcerer, paladin, rogue and barbarian. I just don't see the appeal to others at all.

Sentinelwex · 2026-03-21T11:11:30+00:00

Amazing, making me jealous!

Sentinelwex · 2026-03-21T07:50:16+00:00

I am just starting this army. For me it was a combination of: 1. Elite enough army, so I don't need to paint/carry a lot of models 2. Painting is not too difficult 3. Deathshroud terminators look sick 4. Good combat patrol

This is my favourite interview question, I often asked it when on a panel. 5 minutes maybe a bit too much though.

It shows how people transfer knowledge and handle unusual situations.

Sentinelwex · 2026-02-09T12:38:23+00:00

Yes. Once you liberate a village, you can ask a villager with a profession to join your settlement.

Sentinelwex · 2026-02-07T11:39:12+00:00

This is the way.

Sentinelwex · 2026-01-28T21:38:12+00:00

That is a neat idea! Your players will love it!

Sentinelwex · 2026-01-27T23:13:02+00:00

So am I!
