Warhammer: The Old World: Arcane Journal: Breaching of the Great Bastion

Pre-orders ship on or after launch day 14/03/2026

In the far-off lands of Grand Cathay, the armies of Chaos launch an all-out assault against the Great Bastion, forcing the commonfolk and peasants to rise in defence of their homes. Though humble in comparison to the Jade Warriors, they are prepared to lay down their lives if need be, wielding their improvised weapons with skill and bravery.

This supplement journeys to the fields and forests of Grand Cathay, highlighting the great courage and devotion of the common folk of the Dragon Emperor’s realm. Used in conjunction with Arcane Journal: Armies of Grand Cathay, this book arms you with additional rules and content, presenting a host of unit profiles and fresh ways to play with the forces of the Celestial Dragon. It includes expanded lore, describing the violent assault of the forces of Chaos and the brave defence of the commonfolk. You will find rules to add additional units to your armies and an Army of Infamy focused on peasant warriors.

This 48-page softcover supplement contains:
– The Land of Dragons: An in-depth look into Grand Cathay’s rich history and the people who call it home, highlighting the unyielding loyalty they have for both the land and its rulers.
– War in Grand Cathay: The forces of Chaos hurl themselves against the high walls of the Great Bastion, forcing the people of Grand Cathay to take up arms and fight for their homeland.
– Portents and Ploughshares: Background and rules for a host of miniatures, including Astromancers of the Celestial Court, Peasant Levy, Crane Gunner Teams, and Iron Hail Gunners.
– Armies of Grand Cathay: Featuring an updated Grand Army Composition list and the rules to field the Warriors of Wind and Field Army of Infamy.

This is an expansion to Warhammer: The Old World – you'll need a copy of the Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook, and Arcane Journal: Armies of Grand Cathay, both available separately, to use the contents of this supplement.
