Miao Ying rules over Northern Cathay from her seat of power in Nan-Gau as commander of the armies of the Great Bastion. Cold and aloof even by the standards of a Dragon, Miao Ying has stoically undertaken this most solemn of duties for many centuries, ever since the defence of the northern border was entrusted to her by the Celestial Dragon. Because of the weight of duty she carries and the power she wields, the Storm Dragon is widely considered the favourite of the Celestial Dragon by her many siblings, and Miao Ying lords her position over them, often preferring to stand apart when they gather together. This multipart plastic kit builds Miao Ying in both her dragon and human forms for your Armies of Grand Cathay in games of Warhammer: The Old World. In her human form, she appears to be floating above the battlefield, revelling in her power as she commands her armies. Her dragon form is majestic, flying low across the battlefield, ready to wield her fangs and wicked claws to deadly effect. In either form, she is a formidable general and powerful wizard. Whether you are a gamer, a painter, or a collector, the Storm Dragon is a stunning centrepiece miniature. This kit comprises 80 plastic components, 1x Citadel 50mm Square Base, and 1x Citadel 100mm by 150mm Rectangle Base. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints. -
Jade Warriors are named for a stone sacred to the Dragon Emperor – one that represents the implacable nature of his empire. Armed with polearms and equipped with heavy armour and shields, they are the bastion upon which the enemy breaks, whether they are defending the walls of their city or the centre of the battle line. This multipart plastic kit builds 20 Jade Warriors, heavy infantry for your Armies of Grand Cathay in games of Warhammer: The Old World. These troops make an ideal battleline for your army, able to defend your territory or march forward to claim ground. They can be assembled as one large unit or two units of 10 warriors, each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The Jade Warriors can be armed with either a hand weapon and shield, or a halberd, offering you tactical flexibility. There are 40 heads included in the set, in 10 different designs, which are interchangeable across the miniatures, as are the top knots and cosmetic accessories, which include pouches and teapots. This kit comprises 292 plastic components, 20x Citadel 25mm Square Bases, and 1x Grand Cathay Jade Warriors and Lancers Transfer Sheet containing 404 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints. -
Jade Lancers are mounted regiments of considerable skill and discipline, drawn from the soldiers of the great cities. In addition to being a potent tool in the open field, Jade Lancers train to fight in the constricted streets of their cities and the dense terrain of their environs. They are able to launch devastating charges through narrow alleyways, across bridges and through the tunnels that pierce the city walls, as well as through dense undergrowth or deep mud. This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Jade Lancers, heavy cavalry for Armies of Grand Cathay in games of Warhammer: The Old World. These hardened veterans make excellent shock troops and are agile defenders who can support your infantry quickly. They can be assembled as either one large unit or two units of 5 Jade Lancers – each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. This kit comprises 164 plastic components, 10x Citadel 30mm by 60mm Rectangle Bases, and 1x Grand Cathay Jade Warriors and Lancers Transfer Sheet containing 404 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
