>Warhammer IS a "torrent of generic tropes", isn't it?
Warhammer is, in essence, a game for early 16th century Germany enthusiasts (autists like me) that want to put their landsknecht miniatures against a whole array of fantasy trope enemies.

Your Cathay/Araby/elves/dwarfs/Bretonnians/Chaos/Whatever are essentially just extras in my egocentric fantasy German nobleman LARP.
