i missed it did they say when the rest of cathay is dropping?

okay i know paintscheme questions are stupid but i have a paintscheme question.

miao yings scheme is like black, purple, silver and white, but the main units are mostly teal,steel, and red. is miao just a different color because she's royalty or whatever, or if she was leading the army would it be more appropriate to do the entire army in that black and purple scheme?

should i pick up a second cathay battalion? i heard lancers are kind of the bread and butter of the army and the cannons are good. i dont plan on running any of the sky lanterns, i dont give a shit how good or necessary that unit is, the model just does nothing for me and its insanely expensive for barely any points.

also any ETA on miao ying? and does anyone happen to know her base size (for the dragon) off the top of their head?
