Talk:Khand

It's possible that Khand was elaborated on in written articles, but based solely on the appearance of the products published and their attached blurb, they seem to be based on Warring States China with some Japanese influence. The Khand Commanders put out by Gamesworkshop were in Chariots which reflects Early Chinese warfare pretty uniquely in East-Asia. The coats of plates were also popular during the period, though often far heavier. Their Helmets ressemble early Chinese ones, but could arguably be closer to Japanese depending on what the material the sides is made out of. Finally, the Sashimono that all their infantry wear seems to be a uniquely Japanese innovation, though I could be mistaken. There is mention of multiple Kings on the box which includes their Chariots which would also point towards a Warring States China as opposed to a Mongolian or Japanese counterpart, though that is fairly circumstantial. I can't figure out an origin for the shape of the Axe heads that ressemble anything commonly used in the Far-East Asia, though Knife-Axes were popular with Warring States infanty, they were longer and forward pointed. Over all though, based on design choices, Games Worshop Khands seem far closer to early Chinese and Japanese warfare than Mongolian.
