Grand Cathay: Battle March Army

Command a compact Grand Cathay force built for fast-paced games of Warhammer: The Old World.

The Grand Cathay: Battle March Army gives you a varied Old World force designed for smaller, faster Battle March games. Led by a Shugengan Lord mounted on a Great Spirit Longma, the army combines 20 Jade Warriors, five Jade Lancers, six Iron Hail Gunners and four Crane Gunner Teams, bringing together magic, disciplined infantry, heavy cavalry and specialist gunpowder weapons.

Whether you are beginning your first Grand Cathay collection or adding reinforcements to an existing army – this box provides a selection of units that can work together across several battlefield roles.

Key Features

• Built for Battle March Games – Battle March is designed around compact armies of between 400 and 750 points, making it ideal for faster evening games, club leagues and players taking their first steps into Warhammer: The Old World.
• A Powerful Mounted Commander – The Shugengan Lord is a dragon-blooded warrior-wizard who can support the army with magic or fight alongside the troops. Mounted on a Great Spirit Longma, your general also makes an impressive centrepiece for the force.
• Disciplined Jade Warriors – Jade Warriors form the dependable core of Grand Cathay’s standing armies. Their training, armour and weapon options make them a strong foundation around which to organise the rest of your battleline.
• Hard-hitting Jade Lancers – Five Jade Lancers add swift heavy cavalry to the army, giving you a mobile unit capable of launching disciplined charges and threatening exposed enemy positions.
• Specialist Gunpowder Support – Iron Hail Gunners unleash large volumes of fire at close range, while Crane Gunner Teams use powerful long-ranged weapons capable of punching through heavily armoured targets. Together, they give the army useful shooting options against very different opponents.
• Start or Expand Grand Cathay – The mix of infantry, cavalry, ranged troops and a commanding character makes this Battle March army a practical starting point for a new collection or an easy way to reinforce an established Grand Cathay force.

Why You’ll Love It

This is a satisfying little Grand Cathay army with plenty of variety packed into one box. You get a mounted commander, a solid infantry formation, heavy cavalry and two very different types of gunner, creating a force that feels cohesive while still giving you meaningful tactical choices.

It is particularly well suited to Battle March games, where every unit matters, but it also gives you a useful selection of reinforcements for larger battles in the World of Legend.
