Compared to Lizardmen, Bretonnians are downright hi-tech: they’ve got steel….. Who needs technology when your Slann Mage Priest can just think his way to victory.

The closest to technology the High Elves come are bolt throwers and chariots. Who needs technology when you’ve got Dragons and Phoenixes (Phoenices ? whatever…). Ditto Wood Elves.

You don’t want to know what the Dark Elves do with technology.

Not sure if the ill-advised ‘Hell Cannon’ counts as ‘technology’, but other than that, I don’t recall Chaos – easily THE most powerful faction since at least 5th edition – having many boom-boom sticks, either.

Guess they’re all ‘anachronisms’ then, right ?

Apparently, there was 1 battle between a ‘Greek’ – well, Hellene – army and the Chinese sometime after Alexander kicked the bucket, the thing is that most of those Hellenes weren’t very Greek by that time, but mostly central Asian. They might have had a Greek great-grandfather…..

How many battles between French and English ? Vikings and Romano-Celts ?, Saxons and ‘Normans’ ?

But yeah, Cathay fits just as well as Albion does…….
