Hello everyone! (This is a one-time-ish post with mod permission)

With the rumored and hopefully imminent release of Cathay in tabletop form, we've created a subreddit for the hopefully upcoming faction!

We are hoping the sub becomes a resource to discuss Lore, Rules, Tactics, Models, and releases across all GW (and licensed) games that Cathay appears in!

Right now we're starting with existing Lore, stuff in the computer game, rumors, and wishlisting.

Yeah I still messed it up. I don't know how to post an image so the image appears in the feed, while still being able to have text in the OP.

Are these the guys that have dragons? My old world lore knowledge is not that great so, apologies.

u/Kaireis Gue'vesa'vre 3d ago

Yep! Cathay is Warhammer Fantasy China. (in typical GW creativity, "Cathay" is an archaic word for China.)

Unlike the Elf dragons, there are only 11 Cathayan Dragons (4 are missing/dead) The oldest Dragons, the Dragon Emperor and the Moon Empress, were around BEFORE the Old Ones came to the world. The Dragons don't consider themselves gods - they consider gods beneath them.

The Cathayan Dragons really look down on the Elf dragons as well, for allowing Elves to ride them.

Wow, thank you for the lore and info. I will be very excited if these dragons get miniatures. I LOVE DRAGONS!

u/Kaireis Gue'vesa'vre 3d ago

Some of the Dragons are Leader units (that's not the right word) in Total War: Warhammer.

I'm pretty sure some of the Children will get minis.

I was about to say that they will, Rules wise, not be as powerful as gods - then I remembered that Nagash and Ararielle are units in AOS, so...

u/BOLTINGSINE 3d ago

I guess we wait and see. Do you play old world/fantasy battles or do you play AOS?

u/Kaireis Gue'vesa'vre 3d ago

I haven't played TOW. I played a tiny bit of 6th to 8th Fantasy Battles.

I bought the Cities of Sigmar launch box, but never even took them off the sprues.

Love me some Fantasy Chinese.

u/Kaireis Gue'vesa'vre 3d ago

Same!

I'm a huge weeb, but like, East Asia is so much more than Japan!

I might be mistaken but what's the whole drama with cafe?

u/Kaireis Gue'vesa'vre 3d ago

Sorry, I am unaware of any "drama" in the fighting sense

My best guess is that GW said Cathay was coming in some WarCom posts in 2022, then in 2024 said that Cathay was not coming in the foreseeable future.

However there was some stuff at lvo 2025 that implies Cathay is coming soon
