We’ve bought the Grand Military of Cathay’s new Battalion Field within the studio. Time to take a better have a look at the miniatures inside!
Warhammer: The Previous World is getting a model new military up for pre-order this weekend. Cathay is lastly making it’s option to the tabletop and it’s fairly a powerful vary. And, to be frank, this new field is a steal of a deal. I’m not 100% certain on the factors within the field but when I had been going to play this military, I’d in all probability need to snag two copies simply so I’d have all of the generic miniatures I’d want.
That stated, Abe bought in there and constructed these miniatures and shared the photographs. I’m excited to try these new sculpts for The Previous World!
Grand Cathay Jade Warriors
The Jade Warriors are the bread and butter of this military. You’ve bought choices for swords and shields or spears. There’s a loopy quantity of element and character for every one in all these miniatures. If I’m being sincere, it’s virtually an excessive amount of. That is a military that you simply’re going to desire a plan for the paint scheme. I recommend you retain it clear and easy. Portray all of them up is already going to be a battle of attrition. Whereas a brilliant complicated scheme will look wonderful, it’s additionally going to make it that rather more difficult to finish.
I do know there are going to be painters and hobbyists on the market who tackle that problem. I salute them for it. The Military of Grand Cathay is a kind of that’s going to look good painted. However placing within the additional effort is actually going to showcase all these particulars. However sufficient about that. Let’s try the cavlary!
Grand Cathay Jade Lancers
You get 10 of the Jade Lancers within the field. Once more, a great deal of particulars to actually pick if you wish to. All that scale mail will drive you loopy in the event you let it! I feel these are nice sculpts and traditional horses are a pleasant change of tempo from the extra fantastical cavalry we see from The Age of Sigmar. With that in thoughts, I may completely see these miniatures in AoS. I’ve stated it earlier than however this military goes to look completely different from different Previous World armies due to all that additional element. I’m nonetheless nervous this military would possibly trigger a mode conflict when dealing with off towards the older miniatures from the Previous World. I hope I’m incorrect!

The artillery kits within the field are actually neat. You get two of them and may construct cannons or rockets — your selection. And these are BIG kits. Comparatively talking, they dwarf different cannons within the Previous World vary. Abe took a comparability shot:
Newer and higher? Maybe. However positively completely different! Personally, I similar to how characterful the crew is for this military. I can’t wait to see what else people do with this equipment. It’s tempting to make a diorama simply out of the cannons and crew.
The battalion field is up for pre-order this weekend from Video games Workshop. Good luck getting your palms on this one. I’ve a humorous feeling that it’s going to maneuver fairly fast!
