The Great Bastion stands strong with Grand Cathay’s second wave of reinforcements. We’re reviewing the Defenders of the Great Bastion Army Reinforcement Set, which brings magical Astromancers of the Celestial Court, devastating Crane Gun Teams and Iron Hail Gunners, and masses of Peasant Levies to bolster the Dragon Emperor’s armies. In this comprehensive review, we examine all the new kits with high-res sprue images, explore their build options, and let you know whether these defenders are worthy of protecting Cathay’s mighty walls.

Join me as we unbox the Grand Cathay Battalion — a brand-new faction for Warhammer: The Old World. I’ll walk you through the sprues with high-resolution images, unpack the details of the Jade Warriors, Jade Lancers, and artillery, and compare their scale to existing models to help you see how they fit into your existing Fantasy collection.
