And, predictably, I'm seeing a handful of underhanded comments on reddit that are weirdly upset about women being in the Cathayan army. I really don't understand how, in a trailer where there's literal magical alien dudes skating on flying discs fighting hot air balloons equipped with cannons, the fact that WOMEN EXIST is the thing that suspends your disbelief. Incels are so loving strange. On a cooler note, I just noticed that the caster in the trailer has a sort of calligraphic aesthetic to their casting. That's so loving cool. Plus, it's basically earthbending.

Looking at the trailers/screenshots and from Cathay having a Yin and Yang motif that's also tied to their mechanics, this probably explains why all the melee units are male and all the ranged/magic units are female. They're literally gender balancing so they can use magical powers. That's a nifty merging of lore/gameplay if that's the case.

yeah I'm all for the yin and yang thing to be extra emphasized and all that, but that sounds stupid it's also likely that the units are still in dev and they were using all of the same model for simplicity's sake/time constraint reasons right now. They did just delay the game after all.

Just go all in and mix genders on all units please, Cathay is basically a blank slate anyway

Failure to pair 1:1 male:female risks unleashing a dangerous cacophany, or perhaps a quilin

The harmony mechanic sounds like the high elf mechanic in SFO, not sure if it's in vanilla but basically all their basic troops buff other troops nearby, so they work better in formation and different types of troops have different buffs so you want to mix them together.

So both Cathay and Kislev have two LLs who hate one another, guess you're gonna have to do some unifying before facing off against the Chaos hordes.

The Iron Rose posted:Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh I doubt they're actually going that far, but the wizards/lords are definitely gender segregated based on yin/yang. The female wizard pumps black fluid through the earth which hits basically every yin "element" and the male wizard on the site summons white fiery wind.

I wonder what the deal with the floating rocks is, because I don’t think you see crazy stuff like that in WHFB outside of the Chaos Wastes even in places steeped in magic. Not a criticism btw. I guess those flying cavalry are Ki-rin or Qilin or however they want to render it. Not much fluff about them, but they were presented as fancy mounts for Cathayan heroes. It looks quite different than the “official” White Dwarf conversion that appears in the wiki, which didn’t have wings. https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Ki-rin I watched all this on a little phone screen, so I can’t make out many of the Tzeentch dudes. What’s the galloping thing with the human looking face? Special Tzeentch chaos spawn, war hound, or something else? Whole units of human dudes fighting on Discs of Tzeentch is new right? In my forays down Warhammer internet holes, I think I’ve only seen them as character mounts. They have whole units of at Tzaangors on discs in both settings now, but those are relatively recent post-AoS things I think.

Though they are cheaper troops, their power level can far out-strip their cost when used in proper Harmony.

As a dawi player i am not happy that cathay is getting basically a thunderbarge first. They should just pay that modder who made the thunderbarge mod and put it in the game.
