{{Main|Grand Cathay}}

The largest and second oldest human nation in the Warhammer World, Grand Cathay is a faction inspired by Imperial China combined with the more fantastical elements of Taoist mythology. It is ruled by a Dragon Emperor who is believed to predate the Old Ones in age and his wife, the Moon Empress, who is believed to have literally come from Mannslieb. Local administration is designated to their children, the Dragon Siblings, who are a parallel to the Four Auspicious Beasts in Chinese Mythology. 

In lore, the empire of Grand Cathay is wide-ranging, with areas that are more technologically advanced than even the Dwarfs, and others being extremely poor with peasants on parr with Bretonnia. Pair that with being beset on all sides from [[Chaos|Angry Northerners]], [[Ogre Kingdoms|Your Average Ingerland Fan]], [[Dark Elves|People]] [[Vampire Coast|Raiding]] [[Nippon|Your]] [[Norsca|Coast]], [[Khuresh|literal snake-people to the south]] along with [[Ind|tech-support]], and also an angry monkey, and you can see why the faction is rather reclusive. 

Their army mechanic is harmony, needing to balance the Yin units (ranged) with the Yang (melee) units for benefits, so to use their armies to the most effectiveness you will need to plan ahead-even more so than is normal for list building. Additionally, the faction is known for its gunpowder (being one of the oldest nations to have it, rivaling even Dwarfs and the Sky Titans), and constructs (both magical and technological). 

They were the first new faction confirmed for Warhammer: The Old World.
