>For years, the empire of Grand Cathay has observed the rising threat of Chaos in the Old World. Now, under the personal supervision of the Storm Dragon, Miao Ying, armies of Jade Warriors mobilise to quell this vile foe in a new Arcane Journal, accompanied by solo releases from the battalion box and Miao Ying herself.
>The empire of Grand Cathay has made its move on the Old World, sending armies to do battle with the forces of Chaos after Frydaal the Chainmaker’s attack on the northern reaches of the Empire. This 48-page supplement provides background information for the powerful Empire, and examines the long-standing relations between them and the forces of the Old World. It also contains rules for the Jade Fleet Army of Infamy, a Cathayan force led by Miao Ying and supplemented by Empire mercenaries, as well as rules for new magic items. A War in the Westerland section contains terrain generation rules for the Wasteland and Shadowlands, plus multiplayer games and how to link three new scenarios into a campaign, with guidance for taking your narrative further.
>Commander of the Great Bastion and ruler of Northern Cathay, Miao Ying the Storm Dragon is a cold and aloof being who has patiently defended the empire for centuries at the request of the Celestial Dragon himself. With the threat of Chaos rising in the West, Miao Ying now ranges abroad to proactively shut down its corrupting influence, utilising her dragon form and mastery of the Storm Winds to devastate her enemies. As one of the scions of the Celestial Dragon, she is a force to be reckoned with, the mere sight of her serpentine form causing foes to break ranks and scatter. This plastic kit contains two miniatures, Miao Ying in her human form and in her colossal dragon form.
