Sky Lanterns are incredible wonders of Cathayan ingenuity, used both as mobile gun platforms and command centres to scout enemies from on high and direct troops in battle. Each Sky Lantern consists of a vast floating lantern held aloft by a caged Vermilion Warbird, and the elevated position they occupy makes them a particular favourite of Magistrates – consummate strategists who excel at organising the armies of Grand Cathay.
 
The massive, multi-part plastic Sky Lantern comes with options to mount either a Magistrate or a Strategist, though this miniature can also be used on foot with the square base provided. The crew can be built with iron hail guns and dragon fire bombs or long-barreled crane guns, and the lantern itself can be equipped with a bomb rack. The kit comes with a 115-piece transfer sheet.
