Sabertooth cerberus

I think the box is fantastic. Honesly, I'd take that box, and add another Cerberus, and that's what I would play as an arcanist force.

As for scap and brawl, it's on page 90 if you have the rulebook.

The difference is in the soulstone cost. A scrap is anywhere between 1-45 soulstone games, and a brawl is between 30 and 70. With a scrap your control hand size is 6, and brawl is 7. And in brawls you can bring two masters.

so the beast box is a good stand alone option ?

I think so... especially against other box sets. you have two models with healing flip spells, and two great melee specialist beast, PLUS myranda can turn into a melee beast if she wants to. You also have a WP boost/enemy debuff if you are fighting things with terrifying or use WP spells or duels (i'm looking at you, pandora).

In regards to Roar, do not forget that Myranda can also cast this via Animal Instincts and due to her Ca of 6 she has a much better chance of getting it off (and possibly triggering Smell Fear) than the cerberus has.

Also in regards to Myranda, if you are running Marcus she can shapeshift into ANY non unique model in your crew when Marcus casts Feral on them (they count as a Beast until the Start Closing Phase). Currently that doesn't open up too many avenues, but it means you can use her to transform into a Cyborg if you wish.

Actually, the way it is worded it clarifies that you can copy any model that is a BEAST from the book, not what occurs on the table during the game.

Hmmm...

Feral

Target model receives the Beast characteristic until the Start Closing Phase

Shapechange

Transform into a non-unique Beast. This model remains transformed until it takes a (0) action or casts Shapechange again.

With Beast capitalised in both circumstances, it leads me to believe that this is a legal combination. Nowhere does it say that it must originally be a beast.

your assumption would be incorrect. ;) Zee has it right.

Non-unique is the important term there. A non-unique Beast is one of which there are many of in Malifaux. While you might give the December Acolyte the Beast characteristic, that is merely 1 December Acolyte Beast. see this thread for Eric giving the answer.
