Guild vs. Guild?

[dahli.llama]

My wife and I are going to pick up the game, and right now I've got my mind set on the Jady Justice box. My wife likes the Ortega box. Will it work out alright having two guild crews fighting each other?

The other option is to go with the Viktorias, but the Guild is my main interest.

Also, will the starter sets be fairly balanced against each other out of the box?

Thanks

Lady Justice vs Lady Justice would even work. I think the way its explained in the book is that one is an impostor.

It'll work just fine. You'll find as you through the model lists for each faction that even outside of the starter boxes, many models seem to be designed to be part of a particular Master's team.

Yep it will work just fine. There are really no "good guys" in Malifaux. Everyone is pursuing there own agenda so even in faction fights occur.

If you want it fluffy, you could argue that one of them is a doppleganger, and has convinced her "crew" that she's the right one, and they must hunt down the evil doppelgänger.

I'm not sure if you can do 2v2, but if so, it would be so interesting to see say the "real" Lady J, and another guild crew, vs the "fake" Lady J, and a neverborn crew. Maybe even make up some rules where if a black joker is drawn on a guild character on the fake side, they "realise" what is happening, and can switch sides.
