Warhammer The Old World – Grand Cathay – Sky Lantern – 06-205
High above the battlefields of Grand Cathay, the impressive Sky Lanterns float as symbols of Cathayan ingenuity and military discipline. From their armored gondolas, officers observe the battlefield, transmit signals to the lines below, and engage enemies from a position few adversaries can easily reach.
Floating Engine of War
The Sky Lantern is a unique war machine for Grand Cathay in Warhammer: The Old World. Instead of simply firing from the ground, this model dominates the battlefield from the air. It is a striking support unit that gives your army both tactical possibilities and a strong visual centerpiece.
Aerial Fire Support
This floating war machine can be equipped for various roles. With Sky Lantern Crane Guns, it provides precise long-range fire support, while options such as iron hail guns, gunpowder bombs, and dragon fire bombs give it more aggressive attack capabilities. This allows you to build the Sky Lantern as a supporting firing platform or as a menacing bombing unit above the battlefield.
Magistrate and Battlefield Control
The set also includes a Magistrate, who can be placed in the Sky Lantern or built as a model on foot. Thematically, this perfectly fits the organized warfare of Grand Cathay: orders are relayed with signals, banners, and fanatical precision, while the troops below maintain their position and put pressure on the enemy.
Versatile Equipment Options
Thanks to the various weapon options, you can tailor the Sky Lantern to your army style. If you play with a defensive core of Jade Warriors and war machines, a supportive fire role fits perfectly. If you want to exert more pressure on enemy formations, the bombs and shorter-range weapons make the model more menacing and active.
Hobby and Painting Opportunities
The Sky Lantern is an impressive painting project with many different textures. The large balloon, armored gondola, crew, weapons, banners, and Cathayan details offer ample space for jade green panels, gold accents, weathered metals, fabric patterns, and subtle weathering. Its large form also makes the model ideal as a centerpiece within a Grand Cathay collection.
