Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique Features | Difficulty | Player Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Numerous infantry for holding the battleline, controlling space, and supporting the wider Grand Cathay army. | Massed militia appearance, traditional Grand Cathay wargear, banners, and a strong visual presence as a large battlefield formation. | Beginner-friendly to intermediate, because the unit has repeated elements that are ideal for practising consistent painting across a larger group. | Use the unit to anchor key areas of the battlefield, protect more valuable elements, and create a solid line for the rest of your army to work around. |
Warhammer: The Old World: Grand Cathay - Peasant Levy
Peasant Levy bring the massed infantry of Grand Cathay to Warhammer: The Old World. This unit is ideal for players who want to give their army a broader battleline, a stronger sense of scale, and a practical infantry block that can support elite troops, hold ground, and add the feeling of a vast army marching under Cathayan command.
Warhammer: The Old World: Grand Cathay - Peasant Levy
- Numerous infantry for expanding a Grand Cathay army
- A strong foundation for large Warhammer: The Old World formations
- An appealing hobby project with banners, weapons, cloth, and unified army colours

Massed Infantry of Grand Cathay
Peasant Levy represent the rank-and-file strength of Grand Cathay: ordinary fighters called to war to support the disciplined armies of the empire. On the tabletop, they help create a broad infantry formation, fill space, and give your army the visual weight of a true fantasy battleline. For collectors and painters, they offer an excellent project built around unified colours, cloth, wood, metal details, banners, and small personal touches across a larger unit.
Place in a Grand Cathay Army
In a Grand Cathay army, Peasant Levy act as numerous infantry that can support more disciplined troops, characters, and war machines. They fit naturally into larger forces where board presence, formation depth, and a convincing army-wide visual identity all matter.
Why This Unit Stands Out
- Helps hold space and build a stable battleline
- Offers a satisfying painting project with cloth, wood, metal, banners, and repeated details
- Expands Grand Cathay with useful infantry for larger army builds
Where the Unit Works Best
- Against aggressive armies: Peasant Levy can help slow enemy pressure, fill important areas of the battlefield, and give your stronger units more room to operate.
- Against elite low-model armies: A larger infantry unit can make movement, positioning, and objective pressure more difficult for opponents that rely on fewer, more expensive units.
- Practical tabletop use: Peasant Levy are not designed to win the battle alone. Their value comes from numbers, support, board presence, and the ability to form a practical base around which the rest of the Grand Cathay army can work.
