This is the best place i know so i'm just looking for directions, i'm just looking for a few either historical or even a-historical (Modern) chinese spear shows, especially those with lighter heads, not the heavy headed Guan Dao that's so famous, it's for a Warhammer Fantasy RolePlay scene i'm writing.
Based on cinematics, Quest, building and item descriptions and character dialogue we can confirm a few things about them.
Starting with Bhashiva, the White Tigress, the desert huntress:
Bhashiva leads a specific tribe of Tigermen living in the deserts around the western frontier of Cathay, and are in service to The Iron Dragon making up the Tiger Court and doing general mercenary work for Zhao Ming and other High Lords and governors in the area, they follow the prophecy of the white tiger.
The prophecy of the white tiger:
It's a prophecy that Bhashiva's tribe believes in as the first of the white tigers led the tribe into joining with Zhao Ming as Mercenaries in order to combat chaos, every few generations a cub with white hair is born, and he/she will lead the tribe against the chaos incursions to come.
The Tiger Court:
It's an administration where the leaders of the Tigermen tribes of the area have diplomatic conversation with Zhao Ming and the other High Lords, and they can get the Tigermen to work for them in a way that such leaders think appropriate, usually as caravan escorts through the warpstone desert, scouts and even troops for the Great Wall.
Tigermen and Chaos:
Living near and working through the warpstone desert we can assume that the Tigermen have quite the resistance against chaos corruption and mutation, their units don't have magic resistance so it must be in a different manner than how dwarfs and halflings are chaos resistant.
Tigermen culture, Religion.
The tigermen religion bases itself on two pillars, the court of a thousand gods, native to Ind, and Kamau, the direct god of the Tiger Warriors.
Kamau:
Kamau seems to be an "ascended god" in the same category as Sigmar, apparently, during the Great Cataclism the area that would now be Ind, possibly including Khuresh and Cathay, was assaulted by Tzeentch specifically, we don't know why Tzeentch got an interest in the area, during the fighting the Lizardmen presence got massacred, including the destruction of the breeding pools while the rest of the species, one of them being the Tigermen, held on, near the end of the Cataclism, the then leader of the Tigermen tribes, Kamau, fought until the end against chaos, achieving some sort of apotheosis and becoming a god, "ascended into the court of a thousand gods", with its "teachings" favouring a merging of a "Mind over Body" mentality, with the natural phisical prowess but apparent low impulse control of the Tigerman body.
The Court of a thousand gods:
There seems to be some similarities with the japanese Shintoism, where there is a "god" for everything, a god of this specific tree, a god of this fork on the road, a god of this forest, a god of the very concept of rocks, and Kamau got ascended to the court as the God of all Tigermen, and you accrue favour with those gods by granting them sacrifices in food and works of art and when you need them the most they will answer your call.
The origins of the Tigermen:
It's not confirmed but it's quite ckear that the Tigermen are an ascended species by the Old Ones, with the blueprint of a Tiger-like species that already existed before the Old One's arrival in that area.
The Tigermen as a species:
The Tigermen are quite massive creatures, judging by their models in Total War Warhammer, they seem to be about as tall as an ogre, at minimum, adults can be considered to be 3 meters tall, but with a natural "hunch" in their posture and bendy legs, making them about 2,80 or 2,70, with some natural variance, their leaders, the Saiwal, and the Clawspeakers tend to be larger, they are also naturally very powerful, boasting great strength and agility and natural ferocity in their minds (making them prey to khorne corruption, UuuuUUUUuuuuuUUUUUUuuu that's fun), they also have clawed hands with retractable claws, giving them natural weapons to wield in their direst fights, themselves wielding Qatars, an indian weapon, used as daggers and the "hooded" Qatars being used as "Tiger hunting" weapons, used by indian nobles throughout the 16th to the 18th century, they also use Chakrams as throwing weapons and Guan Dao polearms of chinese origin.
I don't know enough about their magic, the Clawspeakers to comment on them, if you know anything, please comment it.
Most of the information comes from watching the first Loremaster of Sotek's stream on them, watching their models and the dialogue voicelines playing as Bhashiva and playing as the other factions, through the vids they published, great thanks to all youtubers covering the DLC, literally everyone of them.
If any reader wishes, they can comment their opinions on the Tiger Warriors, Bhashiva or Ind (ish?) lore or showcase a piece of information that i didn't see, i will read it and potentially edit the post with that new info, thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
