Quick answer
Boneblades and Eisenkern Panzerjäger can be repurposed for fantasy games with simple rules adaptations and basing changes.
Why mix sci-fi and fantasy miniatures?
Many wargamers have collections spanning genres. Using Eisenkern Panzerjäger as elite anti-monster hunters or Boneblade skeletons as undead hordes saves money and adds unique flavor. The key is adapting their weaponry and basing to fit fantasy rules.
Diagnosis: adapting miniatures for fantasy games
- Symptom: Your sci-fi Eisenkern Panzerjäger look out of place in a fantasy setting.
- Likely cause: Their modern weapons and armor clash with medieval fantasy aesthetics.
- Corrective action: Swap or sculpt over guns with melee weapons, or use them as crossbowmen/grenadiers. Repaint armor with fantasy heraldry. Consider using Eisenkern as elite monster hunters if you prefer minimal conversion.
- Stop or choose other option: If you want a pure historical fantasy look, Boneblades require no conversion—just base them on 20mm square bases for rank-and-file games.
