the only generous assumption I can make is that it's a reference to the cynocephali? these were believed to live in the east in times past, if I remember correctly

otherwise it seems it's just a way to make general purpose kits for werewolves, they have made 3 kits of werewolves with absolutely no oriental flair attached to this army
the dragon, oriental paesants and oriental artillery are also general purpose kits one could potentially use as proxies
