I met the guys at Dancing Yak Miniatures (https://www.dancingyakminiatures.com/) earlier this year at Cold Wars and we talked about the possibility of a project together. These are some early WiP shots for it: a 10mm Terracotta army. They're going to be my alternate take on undead, instead of skeletons the souls of these warriors are bound to terracotta statues by their masters. These are the spearmen, I'd like to do crossbowmen, calvary, chariots, artillery and maybe some big monsters s well. We're looking for feedback at this point, so thoughts?

...and suitably painted, they'd presumably make a nice army for Cathay. :D
There's the Cathay army list in the 2009 Trial Armies book but how applicable it might be to this interesting range...
Perhaps we need a revised list once this range is produced that could be added to the Warmaster Revolution book?
Edit: Monsters - a(n undead?) Chinese dragon is an obvious one. How about Yetis from your Ogre range as well, "Wild beasts from the west of Cathay in thrall to the Necromancer General"? Or something from this lot:

I was thinking of the Four Evils to proxy giants and big stone cats. Still thinking on the character mount, dragons were good in Chinese mythology. I think something darker would be a better thematic fit.
