Total Warhammer 3's Grand Cathay is here to defend the world with cannons, giant golems, and dragons

Total War: Warhammer III may have been delayed until next year, but Creative Assembly has just blown the lid wide open on the strategy game's biggest coup: being the first place to see a fully fleshed-out version of the enigmatic Grand Cathay. Based on Games Workshop's designs, this reveal doubles as the most substantial canonical update to Warhammer Fantasy's roster since the Ogre Kingdoms arrived in 2005.


In the first in what we're assured will be a series of reveals covering this mighty Eastern Empire, we see Cathay's armies in all their might as they defend their realm from the forces of Chaos. Whereas the Kislev trailers all featured Khorne, the Cathayans fight against another of the Chaos gods - Tzeentch, the changer of ways.


Grand Cathay is described as the biggest and most technologically advanced nation in the world of Warhammer fantasy, and its main trait as a faction is 'harmony'. Units of different affinities - Yin or Yang - can get some serious power boosts if they work together. For example, ranged units and melee infantry get stronger if they're kept close.
