Grand Cathay - Gate Masters of the Celestial Cities

Warhammer The Old World – Grand Cathay – Gatemasters of the Celestial Cities

The Gatemasters of the Celestial Cities are experienced officers within the armies of Grand Cathay. As trusted commanders of the Lord Magistrates, they lead the professional Jade Warriors from the front lines, guard the gates of Cathay’s mighty cities, and ensure that the will of the Celestial Dragon Emperor is carried out with iron discipline.

Vigilant Leaders for Grand Cathay
This set contains two character models for Warhammer: The Old World: one Gatemaster on foot and one Gatemaster on a Cathayan Warhorse. This provides immediate flexible command options for various army compositions, whether you want to support a solid infantry line or position a mobile leader with your cavalry.

Command for Jade Warriors and battleline units
Gatemasters fit perfectly with the disciplined core of a Grand Cathay army. Alongside units such as Jade Warriors and Jade Lancers, they reinforce the image of a tightly organized fighting force where command, formation, and timing are paramount. They are ideal for players who want to give their army a clear officer structure and more character.

Can be built as Gate Master or Gate Keeper
The miniatures can be used as a Gate Master or Gate Keeper within your Grand Cathay army. This makes the set useful for various army builds and gives you extra flexibility when assembling your command choices. The combination of a model on foot and a mounted model also makes the kit particularly practical for both infantry- and cavalry-focused armies.

Many customisation options
The set includes various interchangeable parts, including heads with impressive plumes, a Celestial blade, shield option, and a battle standard. This allows you to give your Gatemasters a unique appearance and match them with the rest of your Grand Cathay force.

Hobby and painting opportunities
The Gatemasters are excellent painting projects for enthusiasts of detailed command miniatures. The combination of ornate armour, Cathayan weapons, plumes, horse tack, and a possible battle standard offers plenty of room for jade green accents, golden details, rich fabrics, neat heraldry, and waterslide transfers. They make striking centrepieces among regiments of Jade Warriors or at the head of a cavalry unit.
