Total War: Warhammer 3's Grand Cathay gets its full army roster

Creative Assembly has wasted no time in giving Total Warhammer fans what they want - more Cathay. Sure, the studio strung out Miao Ying and Zhao Ming, gave us another taste at big boi Terracotta Sentials, but now we've got the full Grand Cathay army roster right in front of us.

Like the other roster reveals for Kislev and Khorne, this one doesn't go into details about specific unit stats, but it does have plenty of information about specific abilities, mounts, even weapon variants where applicable. From Legendary Lords to lowly line infantry, hopefully this answers most of the questions you had about Grand Cathay's army.

As mentioned during Cathay's initial reveal, all units in the celestial empire's army are either aligned to Yin or Yang and units from both alignments can give buffs to each other when working closely together. Looking at the roster reveal, it seems that melee focused troops come under the Yang alignment, while ranged troops follow Yin. Generally speaking, Cathay seems to favour ranged combat, although the melee troops they have at the higher tiers are no joke.

Grand Cathay Roster Reveal

[h3]Grand Cathay is here!

In this Roster Reveal we detail each unit, lord, and hero the Eastern Empire will have at their disposal to defend the Great Bastion from the swarms of Chaos (and all others) who threaten their homeland.

For if the Great Bastion should fall, the world will surely follow...[/h3]

Terracotta Sentinels Unit Spotlight

[h3]Terracotta Sentinels are indomitable stone giants believed to be created by the Dragon Emperor, that stand guardian over the lands of Great Cathay.

It is only when war calls that the Sentinel will glow from within, and begin to move once more. Armed with a massive dual-bladed polearm and the bulk to withstand considerable damage, the construct will stop at nothing to destroy the enemy.

Only then will the fires dim and the Sentinel come to rest once more, perhaps for a couple more centuries or perhaps even longer. [/h3]

Total War: Warhammer 3's Grand Cathay fights off a daemon horde in a new trailer

Over the course of September, we learned quite a bit about one of Total War: Warhammer III's new factions, Grand Cathay. We've gotten a hint at the strategy game's unit roster and met Cathay's two legendary lords, the celestial dragons Miao Ying and her brother Zhao Ming. A new trailer that debuted today provides a look at how they'll all work together in a massive siege.

In the new trailer, the forces of Chaos march against a fortified city built into the base of Cathay's Great Bastion, a mighty wall hundreds of miles long that protects the nation's northern border from nomadic tribes and, more importantly, the daemons who live in the Chaos Wastes. Cathay's forces take to the field to meet them, and the new clip shows off some of the faction's coolest new hardware and magic.

One of the cool things we noticed was a magic user casting a spell that appears to have deflected an incoming volley of missile attacks on a nearby formation of infantry. Another spell summons a whirlwind that lifts up a large Chaos unit, spinning it around before slamming it into the ground.
