Top 5 - Vampires

My five favourite Vampire crypt cards, based on artwork. (Because this sort of thing amuses me.)

#5 - Selena (Tremere Antitribu, Black Hand)



Her name is Selena. She's a sultry brunette with a bad history with Werewolves. She predates the Underworld movie by years. There's a reason the studio behind Underworld settled the lawsuit toot suite.

#4 - Keminitiri (Settite, Ancient Hearts)


Great painting, and it perfectly captures her, especially if you've read the background on who she is in the V:tM RPG.

#3 - Helena Casimir (Ventrue, Jyhad)



Elegant.

#2 - Aurora van Brande (Lasombra, Sabbat)



Not much to say. Brutal, yet restrained.

#1 - Theo Bell (Brujah, Final Nights)


The inspiration for this list, since I just received a copy of this guy in the mail. I didn't have a copy previously. His ability to reach out and touch people mixed with the unburnable clause makes him a monster on the tabletop, and the artwork does an amazing job of capturing the unavoidable coolness of the vampiric condition.

Van Fleet has a number of Vampire pieces in circulation, and they're all gold.
