You could run the Han Chinese as the historical Chinese from KoW: Historical with some units and/or heroes from the Mythological section of the same book.

If you are looking for more Asian creatures to add to the proposed Chinese FoN list, take a look at Zenit miniatures Kensei line. They are from Japanese folklore not Chinese, but that's closer than using Western European creatures in the role.
For example, the Sessho seki would make a fine Greater Earth Elemental.

Your Japanese "driders" might be Jorōgumo. More appropriate for Forces of the Abyss or Nightstalkers.
"Woman who's a serpent below the waist" Probably a naga, from India. I bought one to use as a Large Cavalry hero for my Abyssal Dwarf army.

Strangely enough, the Romans could also be Varangur (the not-Chaos Warrior army). Varangur have heavy infantry, some light infantry, Heavy Cavalry, and Direfang Riders (supposed to be giant wolves but you have bears). The Magus Conclave is comprised of three casters, so the fireball priestesses have a role.

The Egyptian undead can always be used in the Empire of Dust.

As you have so many supernatural creatures you could throw them all into a Nightstalkers army, if you don't mind the aesthetic clash.

Armies of Men 1503pts:

Pole-Arms Block Regiment (20 Terracotta Warriors) 80pts #

Pole-Arms Block Regiment (20 Terracotta Warriors) 80pts #

Foot Guard Regiment w/2-handed weapons (20 guys in light armor with big swords) 115pts #

Missile Troops Block Troop (20 Archers) 100pts #

Missile Troops Block Troop w/crossbows (10 Crossbowmen) 75pts - 105pts
*Jar of the Four Winds Cost: 30 pts
The unit’s ‘normal’ ranged attacks gain 12” to their maximum range.

Missile Troops Block Troop (10 Unarmoured Archers) 75pts

Mounted Scouts Troop (5 Horse Archers) 70pts

Mounted Sergeants Troop (5 Med Horsemen) 70pts

Knights Troop (5 Heavy Horsemen) 95pts

Shield Wall Troop (10 dismounted heavy horse guys) 60pts

Ogre Troop (3 large Stone Lions) 115pts - 135pts
*slightly faster than normal humans, 9 attacks, crushing strength
Blessing of the Gods Cost: 20 pts
The unit has the Elite special rule.

optional - run them as Ogres with 2-h weapons for -1 Def but an additional point of crushing strength.
My recommendation - try them both ways and see how they "feel" and what you prefer.


#You have 4 Solid Units now (the Regiments - 20men) - this allows you to have 4 characters and 4 war machines. The missile troops aren't great in this edition of KoW, but they're better (right now) as troops in many ways since Regiments get the same number of sttacks.

Having said that, I've consolidated the 2 units of Archers into one larger unit which is slightly more survivable - and which gives you an additional solid unit - allowing a second Dragon since you said you'd like to take *at least* one Dragon.

To bump up your solid unit numbers for more characters I'd recommend another 5 knights/Heavy Horsemen to bump that to a regiment, probably the same for the mounted sergeants and another 10 dismounted samaurai to get your shieldwall to a regiment.


General on Winged Beast (Dragon 1) 190pts

General on Winged Beast (Dragon 2) 190pts

Army Standard Bearer on horse (Kirin - with or without guy holding a big flag/interesting icon) 39pts (69pts)
Healing Charm Cost: 30 pts
This artefact can only be used by Heroes. The Hero has
the Heal (3) special rule.

Wizard on horse (something cool mounted on something - maybe another Kirin?) 69pts


1503pts


Undead Egyptians - 1500pts

Skeleton Horde (40) (Spread some out!) 135pts + 25pts = 160pts
+spears +25pts - gains Phalanx

Skeleton Horde (40) (Again!) 135pts + 25pts = 160pts
+spears +25pts - gains Phalanx

Mummy Regiment (20) 295 + 5 = 300pts
Smoke Bombs of Coo-Par
Cost: 5 pts
The unit can trigger this artefact at the end of one of
their turns, once per game. In the following enemy Shoot
phase, the unit counts as being in soft cover.



Lesser Obsidian Golems Troop (3) (Flesh Constructs) 90pts
Taken from the Chaos Dwarf list but just dropping them in here. Large infantry so it's legal, and just use the undead Evil Dead army special rule with them because Shut Up.
They are Shambling like most of the rest of the undead list anyway, so can be Dark Surged (legally) according to RAW.

If you get another 3, run them as a Regiment (6) for 160pts, or as a second troop as above.


Heroes:
Necromancer 110pts

Necromancer 110 + 15 + 10 = 135pts
On undead horse (or other mount)
Talisman of Inspiration (grants Inspiring)

Undead Army Standard Bearer 25 + 5 = 30pts
On undead horse (or other mount)

Cursed Pharaoh 200 +10 = 210pts
War-Bow of Kaba: 30", hits on 3+, normal range modifiers, Piercing (1)
Blade of Slashing: +1 attack.



Skeletons aren't great, but they're scary and fantastical. Horde-sized units double the attacks from 10 to 20, are pretty tough, can tie the enemy up and have a nice psychological impact

Both Mummy units are equally hard-hitting, but the larger one has a ton of Nerve, and so is scary as hell since it can dish it out and take it.

You need Necromancers/models with Dark Surge to keep your army moving, since barely any of them can move At The Double (March Move). DS can also be used for some nasty surprises since you can use it to charge into combat, and even have multiple casters cast it on the same unit. Undead heroes are also really very pricey. I gave you a Cursed Pharaoh since your force is Mummy-heavy and so it fits thematically, and as a bonus, he has a nie synergy with them rules-wise.

Army standard should be easy-ish to modify. Replace a spear or sword, etc with some brass rod and stick an appropriate looking thing on top for an inspiring standard/flag/whatever.
