HI!

firstly - to apologize for my complete disregard to my e-family at our e-living room. some of the newer people proally don\'t even know who I am...and thats a scary thought BUT! I do have a question and if i promise to add a few \'cutes\' to random threads maybe you guys can help me?


its about GW fluff. yes, i can\'t get enough of it,in a nutshell it\'s amazing. but I\'m specifically curious about Cathay.

I\'ve read the stuffy-fluffy in the rule book. I also did a search from past threads and online but I can find only the name mentioned a few times and some miscellaneous tidbits but nothing that helps me with a little thing I\'ve got planned *rubs palms together and insert evil laugh here* its actually for next years GD, i was thinking about it when I was digging in our garden...in the friggen hottest day of summer I\'m SURE.

any scrap of information would be handy. really.....anything.

thanks everyone, and a big hug to the lot of you!

Well other than the army thats done in WD issue 314 not much as ever really been done. Its on the warhammer world map and they are suppose to be like China but not much has ever really been said on the area.

 

[Ogrebane]

There is a bit of fluff in the ogre books about cathay (Thats were the great maw is apparently) Not a great deal I guess but I think the fluff for the ogres is on the GW web site. Im not home till monday but I\'ll look up my book when I get there if you want.

BTW welcome back. are all your exams finished yet ?(You yanks are 6 months out of sync with us in OZ)

 

[Dark Seraphim]

Welcome back Becca I\'ve seen you around... lurking... like a lictor! ... anyways... I\'m sorry I can\'t help, I\'m not sure who or what Cathay is ... As I haven\'t really been catching up on the Ogre stuff

 

[penguin]

Cathay is located near Lustria (where the lizardmen and some skaven live), and there are some orange dragon monks who practice violence to attain enlightenment In an issue of white dwarf Chris Blair (I think it was him anyway) had made a small army of Cathayans. I\'ll see if I can find you a pic Anyway, they are based around East Asian countries.

 

[Dark Seraphim]

wait... they are ogres? wtf? Orange Monk Ogres in Lustria?? Sorry... that just sounds stupid...

And the skaven doesn\'t live in Lustria! BLASPHEMY! They dug tunnels all the way over there and contaminated the land! They are VERMIN... VERMIN I tell you!...

... sorry... Lizzie player here

 

[Dragonsreach]

Little is known about the Semi-Mythical land of Cathay,..............Except, like the truth, it\'s out there somewhere................

GW have left Cathay rather an open ended Question to allow for \"future\" (*) scenarios. {(*) Future as in Unplanned}

Think China/Korea/Japan and possibly even Indian subcontinent Influences and Bob\'s your uncle!

Still Cute I see.

and possibly even Indian

That was mentioned in the Ogre Kingdom army book. It\'s supposed to be inhabited by beastmen that have tiger traits.

 

[Ziggi]

The WHFRPG books might have something in them also. Atleast that\'s what I recall, but then again its been over 15 years since I played that so I might be wrong. Anyway, its not much there is about Cathay so you are quite free to take any elements from the orient you wish.

Ooooh Nice Idea for someone with good sculpting skills

 

[KingM]

There is a Black Library book with a tiger beastman on the cover. Not sure whether its anything to do with Cathay, Ind etc as I haven\'t read it

Here you go Becca, have a link to a:

Cute Tiger Beastman book

Cheers

Really?

I thought Lustria was the equivalent to the south american rain forests... Cathay always used to be the old world east-asia equivalent. But there has never really been much fluff about it at all, just rumours and hearsay
