Altered Beasts Box Questions
- What models are included in Altered Beasts?
- The box contains three miniatures: Ferdinand Vogel, The Beast Within, and The Scorpius. Together they give Chimera crews several alarming answers to the same problem, according to the product description.
- Which faction and keyword does this box belong to?
- Altered Beasts is an Arcanists faction box with the Chimera keyword. That makes it a natural fit for crews built around Chimera synergies.
- What scale are the miniatures?
- The models are 32mm heroic scale. They are supplied unpainted in high-quality plastic and require preparation and assembly before play.
- Do I need to assemble and paint the models?
- Yes. The miniatures come unpainted and unassembled. You will need to prepare the parts and assemble them before they are ready for the tabletop. Paint is optional but typical for Malifaux.
- Is this a complete crew or an expansion?
- The supplied information describes Altered Beasts as a box with three models for Chimera crews. It does not state that it is a standalone crew, so treat it as an addition to your Arcanist collection rather than a full game night in one box.

What the Box Does Not Tell You
The supplied product information does not include a playstyle breakdown, stat cards, or tactical advice for Ferdinand Vogel, The Beast Within, or The Scorpius. It also does not list a specific age rating or safety warnings beyond the assembly requirement. If you need those details for a younger hobbyist, check the packaging or ask the store before buying.
Likewise, the box description does not confirm whether the miniatures are single-piece or multi-part, or whether they include bases. Those details are not in the supplied record, so plan to check the contents when your box arrives.
Who Should Pick Up Altered Beasts?
This box suits Arcanist players who already run Chimera crews and want three more thematic models to build and paint. It is also a reasonable pickup if you enjoy the civilized-becomes-feral theme that Ferdinand Vogel represents. Because the models require preparation and assembly, it is not a ready-to-play purchase for someone who wants miniatures straight out of the box.
