Learn how to integrate Boneblade skeletons and Eisenkern Panzerjäger into fantasy wargames, including rules adaptation and basing tips.
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.
Eisenkern Panzerjäger - Boneblades: The Boneblades box includes 117 figures on three frames, with swords and shields. This gives you a large undead infantry unit out of one box, perfect for rank-and-file fantasy armies.
