Further augmenting the troops are enormous terracotta soldiers that are usually inert statues in Grand Cathay's cities. This is to protect its main offensive power: heavy artillery consisting of rifles, cannons, and flying machines also armed with rifles and cannons. The infantry of Grand Cathay consists of heavily armored, mostly spear or halberd wielding troops. This is shown in the trailer which starts in peacetime, then transitions to a battle. The lands of Grand Cathay are lush and pristine, covering even more territory than the Empire, and its troops are well organized and powerful. Mentioned for years in Warhammer lore, this is the first time Grand Cathay appears as a fully realized fighting force.
In this case, the forces of Chaos are Tzeentch's, but the main showcase is of Grand Cathay. Just like the earlier Total War: Warhammer 3 trailer that shows off Kislev and Khorne, the new trailer shows a mortal nation battling the forces of Chaos. RELATED: Total War: Warhammer 3 Delayed to Next Year To soften the blow, Creative Assembly released a trailer showing off two of the new factions for Total War: Warhammer 3 in battle. While fans are disappointed, this will hopefully allow for extra time to make sure the game lives up to its potential. Sadly, those hopes were dashed when Total War: Warhammer 3 was, as announced just yesterday, delayed until early 2022. So excited that, for a while, fans thought they found a release date for Warhammer 3. Total War: Warhammer 3 is the next in the Total War: Warhammer series, and fans are very excited for it.
