When I made a trip to Warhammer World in June 2025 I was pleased to see the then new models for the Army of Grand Cathay for Warhammer Old World on display. I really liked the Cathayan Sentinel especially the paint job which made it look like it was terracotta. I also saw a posting on the Warhammer Community site about where Lewis from the Warhammer Studio had painted some Jade Warriors as terracotta warriors.
I started thinking about creating and painting a whole army in this style, so I bought a Cathayan Sentinel and the Grand Cathay Battalion.
I started constructing the Jade Warriors.
There are quite a few parts for each model. You can construct the Jade Warriors either holding swords or armed with halberds.
I noticed that after making them, that they were facing in the wrong direction, so I removed them from their bases and stuck them, now facing the right direction.
Next step will be to make some more models.
