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.

Miniatures for fantasy conversion

  • Eisenkern Panzerjäger: The Eisenkern Panzerjäger are special forces trained to hunt and kill mechanized foes. Their anti-vehicle gear can be reimagined as monster-slaying weapons in fantasy skirmish games.
