Yuan Bo leading the armies of Grand Cathay.

For other unit rosters, see unit roster.

Grand Cathay's unit roster is centered around maintaining Harmony between close combat and missile units. In that regard, Cathay has excellent missile infantry with a strong frontline of cheaper melee units backed up by a diverse roster of stronger elite troops, flying cavalry, monsters, war machines and artillery who gain buffs when near an opposite-aligned unit. Altogether Cathay has a very defensive but immobile army vulnerable to flanking, especially taking into account the frailty of its own melee cavalry.

Grand Cathay requires Total War: Warhammer III to be playable, with the Shadows of Change DLC adding several more units to their roster.
