TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER III
As I watch the Tzeentch forces bear down upon the fortress defended by Cathay, I’m blown away by how different it all looks to any Warhammerbattle I’ve seen before. The Tzeentch are alluring with their palettes of neon purples, blues and greens, brightening up the battlefield with colours from well beyond the earthy Warhammerspectrum.
Cathay, meanwhile, are the first faction ever fully depicted from Warhammer’s Far East, led by a dynasty of dragons capable of taking human form. Naturally, they’re analogous to Ancient China; sky lanterns halberds, elegant armour adorned with robes and dragon imagery, and towering terracotta sentinels defending the Warhammer world’s answer to the Great Wall. So seeing this bright demonic force raining blue and pink fire over the high walls and ornate roofs of a Far Eastern fortress – it’s all pretty unexpected.
