Games Workshop Pre-Orders: Grandy Cathay Weekend
The Grand Cathay Army is marching to battle in The Old World. Games Workshop’s pre-orders for this weekend are here!
It’s been years in the making and it’s finally here. The Old World is getting an entirely new army. Say hello to Grand Cathay in all their glory. I hope you got your pre-pre-orders in with your FLGS for these because they are moving fast. Personally, I really like the massive Cathayan Sentinels. That model is nuts! But maybe you’re move of a Sky Lantern person and that’s totally fair. Now if you can just get your hands on the Arcane Journal…

This boxed set contains 50 multipart plastic miniatures:
– 2x Cathayan Grand Cannons (which can alternatively be built as Fire Rain Rocket Batteries)
– 10x Jade Lancers
– 30x Jade Warriors
The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Jade Lancers can be assembled as one large unit or two units of five warriors – each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician.
The Jade Warriors can be assembled as one large unit, two units of 15 warriors, or three units of 10 warriors – each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. They can be armed with either a hand weapon and shield or a halberd, and the heads, top knots, and cosmetic accessories are interchangeable across the miniatures.
The Cathayan Great Cannons can alternatively be built as Fire Rain Rocket Batteries – both options come with three artillery crews and an optional ogre loader.
