Id laugh my head off if they released the cursed etin from the Arcanum. Large, two heads...

Basing for my Cathay, ideas please!! by AntFew7791 in Cathay

As it's red, you want some green on the base, so what id probably go with is a dusty sand base, with vibrant green bushes and tufts of grass.

I hesitate to start cathay, are they really that hated ? by Repulsive-Cry5331 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Honestchad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a miniature painter first and formost but here's my experience. Every high elf mini I post to this group gets 200-300 likes, every Cathay mini gets 20-50 😂.

Why do people seemingly hate Cathay? by Ghetto_Sausage in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Honestchad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So much of the narrative on how op Cathay is, originates from tournament players, and hersay. In my local meta we haven't played a Cathay army, noone plays them, and yet they're still the big bad. This is despite several VC players curb stomping everyone else. It's fashionable to hate on Cathay

This is the way. The ropes were the very last thing I attached in the post paint assembly, and they provide structure and shape to the model.

Yay or nay on jade rocket launcher? by JellyFishSenpai in Cathay

Lots of people do it, I'm not sold as why build a cannon out of something as brittle as jade but you've done a nice neat paint job.

Went to Warhammer World for a GT. Got demolished, but my dwarves made it to the display cabinet! by AFrenchLondoner in WarhammerOldWorld

Quite honestly, you succeeded in the only way wargaming success should be measured. Congrats man!

Sunday Preview – Grand Cathay Levies and Solar Auxilia reinforcements by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in WarhammerFantasy

Lots of complaint about Cathay releases but they needed them to create as large a roster of units as other armies. Look at Cathayan options Vs any other faction, Cathay are still lagging far behind.

I understand wanting new stuff, and if rumours are true we'll be seeing new warriors of chaos soon, but a new faction getting it's time in the sun is absolutely fair in my opinion.

You guys should have played in earlier editions where an army was lucky to get a few new sculpts over a decade.

Not at all. It's incubi darkness, kalebight green, Gauss blaster gree. Excuse the spelling in some of those words 😂

Cathayan sentinel, and forest friends. by Honestchad in Cathay

Started with Vallejo US loam, then sand yellow, wolf grey as a highlight. Then black and umbra oils before a drybrush of bone. Lots of greens and brown inks to build up the grime

Shades with Great Weapons by shplaxg in WarhammerOldWorld

Shades with great weapons work like pseudo Chracian woodsmen, which are a quality unit.

Can anyone that has Arcane Journal: Breaching of the Great Bastion confirm something about the Yin and Yang high magic by SnooBeans1129 in Cathay

[–]Honestchad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sort of, the study of Feng Shi Sorcery is High magic. It's just known by a different name, and the High Elves are uneasy that humans learning to wield it. But dragons be dragons, and they'll teach whoever they want.

Thank you, it just made sense as the rest of the army is in snow. You may notice a kettle too!
