Charged with the defence of the Great Bastion, the Armies of Grand Cathay are experienced and battle-tested warriors. For centuries, they have kept the legions of the Ruinous Powers at bay. Though the Empire of the Celestial Dragon lies far from the nations of the Old World, Cathayan merchants have plied the ocean waves for hundreds of years, and vast armies of Jade Warriors and Lancers pledge to fight alongside or against the armies of the west in times of peril.
This essential guidebook studies the rich history, background, and culture of the Armies of Grand Cathay, and offers rules to use them in your games of Warhammer: The Old World. It includes inspiring lore, artwork, and photography, along with rules allowing you to muster a mighty collection of the Celestial Dragon's warriors, and get the most out of them on the tabletop.
