Grand Cathay emerges in Warhammer: The Old World as a fully fleshed-out faction, blending Eastern-inspired mysticism, powerful war machines, and celestial strategy. Once only hinted at in lore, Grand Cathay now steps into the spotlight with a complete model range and unique mechanics that emphasize harmony and tactical control. Whether you're drawn to dragons, alchemical magic, or disciplined armies, Cathay offers a visually stunning and thematically rich way to experience the Old World.
Grand Cathay is an ancient and mighty empire located in the distant east of the Warhammer world. Inspired by Chinese mythology and aesthetics, Cathay is ruled by immortal dragon monarchs who can shift between human and dragon forms. Their armies are a blend of disciplined infantry, arcane spellcasters, towering constructs, and celestial creatures. Once shrouded in mystery, the faction now stands as a major player in The Old World setting with full narrative and tabletop support.
Grand Cathay introduces the unique Harmony mechanic, encouraging players to balance units of Yin and Yang to unlock powerful synergies. Their armies feature a strong defensive core supported by long-range firepower and devastating magical support. Terracotta Sentinels, Sky Junks, and alchemical spells give Cathay a distinct blend of stability and spectacle.
Yes. While mastering Harmony requires thoughtful positioning, Grand Cathay's reliable troops, strong ranged presence, and forgiving defensive playstyle make them ideal for newer players. Their clear roles and synergy mechanics provide rewarding gameplay with a modest learning curve.
Core units include disciplined Jade Warriors, Iron Hail Gunners, and Sky Lanterns. Key characters like the dragon rulers Zhao Ming and Miao Ying lead from the front or command devastating spells. For elite and monstrous options, Terracotta Sentinels and Longma Riders offer both durability and offense.
Grand Cathay utilizes the Lores of Yin and Yang, with spells that focus on control, defense, and precision strikes. In harmony, these lores unlock bonuses that can buff allies, debuff enemies, or dramatically change the flow of battle. They also have access to alchemical effects and summoning powers, reinforcing their mystic identity.
Yes. Grand Cathay’s narrative in The Old World ties into their defense of the Great Bastion, battles with Chaos incursions, and trade missions across the Silk Road. Campaign play often revolves around holding ground against overwhelming odds, unifying the empire, or expanding their influence westward into the broader Old World.
Grand Cathay miniatures are available through Games Workshop and licensed hobby retailers. Starter sets, infantry boxes, monsters, and characters are being released in waves. You can find current stock and preorders in the Warhammer: The Old World section of your favorite hobby store or online shop like Tistaminis.
