The Warhammer: The Old World Grand Cathay Battalion is a comprehensive boxed set designed to form the core of an Armies of Grand Cathay force for the tabletop wargame.

This includes 30 Jade Warrior infantry, 10 Jade Lancer cavalry, and two artillery pieces which can be built as either Cathayan Grand Cannons or Fire Rain Rocket Batteries. A key feature is the extensive customisation possible; the Jade Warriors can be assembled in units of 10, 15, or 30 models, with options for champions, standard bearers, and musicians. They can also be armed with either hand weapon and shield or halberds. The Jade Lancers can be fielded as one or two units. The kit includes 734 plastic components and a full set of appropriate Citadel bases. This battalion is ideally suited for both new players starting a Grand Cathay army and existing collectors looking to expand their forces efficiently. The variety of units provides a solid foundation for learning the game's mechanics and developing painting skills. The included waterslide transfer sheet with 404 designs allows for detailed heraldry and unit markings, enhancing the visual appeal of the painted army. It is a practical and cost-effective entry point into the rich fantasy setting of Warhammer: The Old World.
