Cathay

Are they a based addition to the Warhammer universe?

arent there already elves in warhammer

They aren't elves they are humans who worship some dragons that existed since before the old ones fucked the planet up.

Give vamp dragon LL and then we'll talk.

>game focuses on chaos and the darklands
>chaos dwarves arent in
>china is despite not even being a real faction in the tabletop
the level of chink pandering is unreal

They couldn't have Kislev as the sole order race

I love China and everything Chinese
The CCP is the best government in the world
They have the wisest leaders and strongest military
China is a dragon, emperor of men

could have done dogs of war or literally anything else that has an actual army book and it would have been better

>asian dragons
>breathing fire
eh that just feels wrong to me desu

I'm happy to see them fleshed out.
Araby got a raw deal in WH2 though

At least Cathay is a real threat in the setting, Araby exists to be Arkhan's bitch.

look like elves to me

Cathay didn't have any lore or real interaction with the Empire. Araby invaded Fantasy Spain and that resulted in Empire and Bretland uniting in a crusade against them.

Who's Arkhan? Isn't that a batman thing?

Any actual chinks will be offended with this inclusion. They gave female soldiers and lords yang affinity.

The chad skellington that starts in Araby, he doesn't get the infinite hordes that other Tomb Kings get so instead he rolls up on Araby once a century or two and culls a few hundred thousand to refill his army.

imo they're really fucking boring to play, empire without the rich lore history & a dime-a-dozen chinese copypasta race theme. I wouldn't be surprised if they recycled assets from 3 kingdoms, maybe in the future more units will get added but as it stands they're just so fucking boring and outclassed by literally any of the chaos factions & ESPECIALLY ogres in terms of rule of cool/fun play

basically this. I cannot fathom chaos dwarves not being in this, kislev was already pushing it but them inventing two whole asspull factions with little to no actual lore/units from a game with 30+ years of books to draw from on more interesting races is just silly. they're literally just a 3 kingdoms race copy-pasted into warhammer with some dragon bullshit added for flair.

They're just chinese elves without the dozens of books & years of lore to draw on. There were so many other factions that deserved a spot over cathay.

I wouldn't call dogs of war order.

Its maybe the most balanced out faction in all three games, has surprisingly in depth faction mechanics, is thematically distinct from everything else, and those dragon animations are not bad. Your china paranoia is spoiling your own fun and you have nobody to blame but yourself.

No they are cringe copy/pastas of other factions stuff.

Cathay doesn't throw the balance of the setting off and furthermore expands it in a new direction, so it's not a bad addition.

But it's the porn potential with human-dragon shapeshifters and hybrid offspring, that makes Cathay a based addition.

I am now interested in this game

What are they going to do for DLC? Nothing needs updates now that Beastmen are through the loop and the only remaining characters to make into LL's are literal who's like Thanquol or too big to be a credible, balanced things like Nagash.

No, they were made to pander to the chinese and they're very boring/bland.

>everything remotely rated to China is pandering

They needed to save something for future DLC I guess.
Chorfs are all but inevitable.

Don’t mind em honestly, wish they’d make an army and ruleset for the tabletop

They are gay also
>adding new lore to a setting wich technically no longer exists

Chorfs obviously, and who knows what other obscure factions they may whip up. The Daemon factions are all very bare boned as well and obviously set up for expansion. With the timeline vaguery and how unexpected some of their choices have been in the past, its anyone's guess.

end times and age of smegma are not canon

Unironically the game itself, no speculation or coomer delusion, confirms that behind the scenes the dragoness is basically a breeding sow and near-permanently pumping out offspring when not at war, because her governance is the meatgrinder military frontline and she has to keep numbers of half-breeds high for the defense of the nation.

Chorfs obviously. For new LL's slecifically I think they're gonna go with just updating 3's factions since they need a LOT of love to match how fuckassbloated the 1&2 factions are. Cathay and Kislev are gonna jeed some HUGE fucking ad-libbing for that though.
