I just picked up a Viktorias box (plus the rules), and I was just wondering if there were, or if there were supposed to be, two Viktorias cards?

I know the only real difference between them is the weapons, but it's a bit odd to have to look up the stats for the pistol in the book.

You should have 2 cards in the box - each will have a seperate picture of the relevant models

Could be a mispack. Email Nathan a picture of the contents of the box. He usually sets things straight if there is an issue.

The only thing I could possibly imagine is if it was an old blister from pre-Malifaux that never got addressed. The older blisters didn't come with cards. Either that or Bug's suggestion.

Follow up question from me.

If you are only taking one Victoria as a member of another crew, do you get the paired Masamune, Masamune + Pistol or either one of your choice?
The way the rule is worded, it seems to imply that you pick one (your only one) and it gains the paired Masamune and loses the pistol. Is this a correct interpretation?

Nope. You get both. Re-read the "Sisters" rule.

In reality - this is a non issue as you can't take the viktoria(s) with any other master anyway!

Sigh, read the entry for For Money.
You can hire them with any master but Sommer Teeth and Leviticus as tehy are not Gremlins, Vermin or Pig models, nor are they Undead, Construct or Souless models.

Except the Vikkies DON'T have mercenary as a trait... so no you can't

Actually, as BugKing stated...read "For Money.". Even thought they may not have the mercenary trait listed, For Money specifically states they can join other crews in a brawl....so yes they can ;)

i asked this very question here -

and was told - no you can't!

However...the people who said no were no more official than BugKing. And considering he was one of the core developers of the character rules, I'd probably trust his word on the matter.

And, like has been stated, the ability For Money flat out says they can join other masters in brawls, so why would you think they couldn't?

Because you can only hire models with the merc trait - and only the outcasts have the merc trait.

Card rules trump book rules...

...its in the book...unless a card says otherwise...my brain hurts.

Why don't you finish reading the ability?

For Money: Crews containing this model can only hire Mercenary models during Scraps. This model may join a Crew with any other Master in a Brawl, but reduce its Crew’s available Soulstones by 5.
