I really struggle to understand how could anybody like fantasy warhammer, it's so banal and uninteresting. These are the fantasy chinese, these are the fantasy russians, these are the fantasy HRE, fantasy french, this character is fantasy Jeanne d’Arc, the dark elf leader is called the Witch King and so forth. And you put the total morons at CA on top of it to vomit their retardation all over it.
Because "fantasy french" are more compelling than fantasy capeshit.
They even have fucking jezzails wannabes.Cathay really, really comes across as a Skaven-but-human faction. Ranged emphasis, with some monsters/constructs and tarpit infantry.
I do like the armour designs on the melee infantry, though.
This was one of my chief concerns when I saw they were actually doing fantasy China, but to be fair a lot of the awfulness of the other human (or generally 'good') factions doesn't really translate from GW's lore to the TW games.I guarantee you CA will make Cathay into a benevolent noble faction as not to offend their chinese overlords.

It's based on old age China several centuries ago, which buried dissenters alive.I guarantee you CA will make Cathay into a benevolent noble faction as not to offend their chinese overlords.
That may have been one of the reasons why Chaos/Orcs were much more popular then Empire/Dwarves when Warhammer Online was a thing.I really struggle to understand how could anybody like fantasy warhammer, it's so banal and uninteresting.

Real french are more compelling.
You can't use that game as a barometer because it was so badly designed in light of only 2 factions (in order to ape WoW) that everyone rolled whichever faction was dominant on their server.That may have been one of the reasons why Chaos/Orcs were much more popular then Empire/Dwarves when Warhammer Online was a thing.I really struggle to understand how could anybody like fantasy warhammer, it's so banal and uninteresting.

It gave an edge in mass PvP, but it also resulted in longer wait queues!You can't use that game as a barometer because it was so badly designed in light of only 2 factions (in order to ape WoW) that everyone rolled whichever faction was dominant on their server.That may have been one of the reasons why Chaos/Orcs were much more popular then Empire/Dwarves when Warhammer Online was a thing.I really struggle to understand how could anybody like fantasy warhammer, it's so banal and uninteresting.

Yeah, there is 0 anime in this.Anime chinks look out of place in the Warhammer Fantasy setting.
I hate anime as much as the next normal person but the faction hardly looks like that. Where's the effeminate men, oversized swords and huge tits?
The most nasty stuff with them is they can fire upwards for some reason.Flamers. Fucking flamers. I goddamn hate warpfire and irondrakes shit and now I have to deal with flamers as well. Shit.
