Cathayan Rares

This is the beginning of the Homebrew Cathayan armylist I have been working on, or rather the end of it. I'll be gradually posting it in backwards order so that it's in the correct order when scrolling through the blog.

                      Walking the Elements: At the start of the game declare an element that this unit will begin using: Wood, Fire, Earth, Wind, or Water. At the start of each of your player turns the monks continue to walk the elements and select a new element based on their previous choice: Wood- Fire or Wind, Fire- Earth or Water, Earth- Wind or Wood, Wind- Water or Fire, Water- Wood or Earth. They may choose to leave the path by selecting a different element or continuing to use their current choice, if they do so they must pass a Leadership test or lose all benefits from Walking the Elements until the start of your next turn. Benefits:

Wood- Dragon monks gain Strider and the monks can always march
