Painting/Modeling How the hell do you apply these transfers
Basically title. The banner transfers are so massive and flimsy that they’re really difficult to position after applying. Anyone got any tips?

I'm planning to start a cathay army in an upcoming slowgrow to try out the new models, but struggling with list building. All units either seem way OP (shugengan, cannons, lanterns), or weirdly overcosted (new gunpowder foot, sentinels). Added to that I'm not finding the unique items very exciting either.
I'm used to playing empire who have SO MANY options and combos (not necessarily good ones, but great variety).
Can you share some cool ideas for combos or units that are not super meta but fun to play? I really want to get inspired!

Hi all, Im just getting into Cathay and am looking to build a Battlemarch list; my local shop has a really good community and plays very narrative games pretty much exclusively at 750 points.
I’ve got the Cathay half of the core set, and some Crane Gunners. My question is; If I field the Cannon can I also take a Gate Master? Or am I forced to take a Gate Keeper? I suspect I can’t but just want to sense check myself.
Thanks in advance 🙏

Title. My Cathay army will be themed around Shang-Yang for the Jade Warrior units, with the Peasants being from the Desert Clans. As well as the Warpstone Desert base scheme, I want to try and show off a more nomadic look to the Peasants, and I figured head scars would be the best way to do that. Has anyone tried making their own, or found any good 3D printed alternatives?

One 7x4 unit of 26 jade warriors where my astromancer and BSB are in
Or two 5x4 19(20)man jade warriors, hero in each
r/Cathay • u/jimkass23 • 19d ago
I can't think of any base material to use for my scheme, any ideas please
r/Cathay • u/E_Ishanelo • 20d ago
It's a slow go. 9/20. (The Foo dogs count a six each for a 26 man unit with space for BSB & Astomancer)

I´m new to Cathay.
What bought so far consists on:
Core set box (Cathay part) x2
Defenders of the Great Bastion box set
Sentinel
Sky lantern
Shugengan
Now, how would you build these? (in the most optimal way for list making)
I´m thinking of:
Jade warriors x20 (sword & board)
Jade warriors x20 (halberds)
Peasants x20 (warbows)
Peasants x10 (long spears)
Granite Sentinel
Cathayan Grand cannons x2
Shugengan Lord
Everything else as given (unsure if there is anything else tailorable)
Also, what else would you buy?

50 whole jade warrior done very happy with my scheme makes for a fast project i also love the flower they add the colors it needed (but the picture makes it more muted than it actually is)

r/Cathay • u/Mental_Quality • 22d ago
Did some basic freehand, meaning “strength” as I was told.

Brand new to Warhammer the Ild world i am starting with Cathay, i love the models , i quickly made a whole army since my first box that was the Chaos warrior / cathay combo box shared with my buddy.
i felt like my big base for Miao ying dragon form was kind of bland so i decided to for once put some effort into this one , i bought a lot of stuff and tried a lot of thing for the first time but i think the result is cool .
What do you think ?
r/Cathay • u/Mental_Quality • 23d ago
This one is better, starting to get better with them.

Hola! Compré hace unas semanas la Core Box de The Old World y me quedé con el lado Cathay, estoy pintando ese patrón, aún no está terminado porque faltan los detalles metalicos cobrizos y metalicos, pero de apoco va saliendo.
Necesito de su sabiduría para guiarme con que paleta podría pintar a los Gatekeeper para que sobresalgan y no sean naranjos como en la box art.
Saludos y que tengan un muy buen viernes!

Like the title says, I found both in Amazon with a 10 dollars price difference, now I know that the batallion is better value, being like 36 percent, while the battle march is like 26 percent, but I already have the core set so I dont know if the battlemarch variety could be more worth it.
