"GoddamnHungKurgans! Stop tearing down my shitty warr!" -- What the Cathayans have to say roughly 12 times every hour or so.
Cathay is the uninspired name for the analogue to China in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. That said, it is at least marginally more inspired than their name for the Japan analogue.
Games Workshop could probably make some moolah in a way that would not involve fucking over existing canon or jacking up prices by introducing a Cathay army. Even some Dogs of War mercenaries that were Cathayan who ended up in the Europe analogue could be nice. Plenty of cool Chinese warrior types to build on.
But they don't.
And that's terrible.
This would be a good idea because the Cathayans, according to the WoC army book at any rate, have steam punk clockwork terracotta automaton warriors (again, ripped straight from real world China). Who doesn't want to have something like THAT in their army. Just as The Empire and Kilsev have to deal with Chaotic norsemen attacking, Cathay constantly has to deal with incursions from the Hung, nomadic chaos worship steepe people.
Also, the worship of Tzeentch (they call him Chi-An, which, incidentally, the Kurgan and Hung name for him) is an officially recognized Religion there. And they let Hung Chaos Marauders sell their shit in Weijin. Which is odd because the Hung are normally so duplicitous that even the Norse and Kurgan don't want to deal with them very often.
They also have a Dragon for an Emperor.
According to the eight ed BRB, the Kurgans once mounted a massive raid on Cathay's Great Bastion. Which is funny, because Kurgans are basically Chaos-Turko Slavs to the Norscan's Chaos Vikings.
