Nippon

This article is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

Nippon is the Japan analogue of the Warhammer Fantasy Battle universe. It is near Cathay.

Here the Skaven learned how to be ninjas. Except that they learned to be ninjas in Cathay. They were apparently united as a nation for the first time in 1IC by some guy named Yamayakyuki I who promptly dropped dead a few years later in 12 IC and since then the position of Emperor (known as the Divine Sun) has become mostly ceremonial similar to how the emperor position was in real life Japan during the Tokugawa Shogunate. They also have monks known as Vimto monks and they along with most of the population worship what’s essentially a Buddha-like deity known as the Orange Simca which was named after one of the Warhammer developers car. The truly hilarious thing is that Simca is a Polish brand.

This is literally everything we know about Nippon.

There are two known characters from Nippon: The Red Ronin and Lady Katsui, who lives in Marienburg. According to End Times, they've got the best fleet ever, but they don't do shit with it. It's the best fucking fleet in the world. That's right, not druchii black arks or asur dragonships, fucking Yamato-Class Battleships. The little official info on their land army pretty much shows it as being the same as what real-life Japan had during the latter half of the Shogunate (arquebus wielding ashigeru, peasant foot soldiers, samurai and ninja etc.) plus, rocket artillary, magic sorcerers, and magic kung-fu monks. Ogres also apparently exist there somehow and are known as Oni, so you could probably convert some Ogre kingdom units in order to help support a homebrew Nippon army.

Genevieve Sandrine du Pointe du Lac Dieudonné went there once. Probably. If she exists. Honestly, this wouldn't be worth mentioning except that we don't know shit about Nippon so it's like 5% of what we know.

There is also an autistic, weeaboo fan-made armybook for it with Oni, Lightning spewing dragons, ninjas and Samurai monks. The Norse armybook is better though, it would be even better if it weren't based on outdated, contradictory fluff.

Also, "Nippon" is literally the Japanese word for "Japan", because of course.
