They'd look like medieval foot knights with sci-fi guns and power packs. Are you into that concept or do you just have a box of Perry foot knights you don't know what to do with?

Sounds like a cool idea actually!

Dreamforge Troopers are more WWII-Germanified Star Wars Stormtroopers if you ask me.

Your idea would certainly have a unique look and feel, even though the idea has been done before (think Ion Age Knights, Rogue Trader Space Marines etc).

Still; when done right, I have no doubt it would work like a charm. Run with it, I'd say! 8)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

IF you end up interested in Dreamforge Eisenkern, check out my sales thread ;)

And if you start sci-fing up the Perrys, do post pics :D

Aren't the Perry Knights a little more realistically proportioned than normal sci-fi?

If so, you would need to be a bit clever about what kit you want to add.

I have recently ordered a few bits and bobs from Mad Robot miniatures (in the USA) and they fit nicely with my Squats so should, in theory, work well with more 'slight' miniatures. They have a nice range of weapons and packs... so it would be worth a look:

Depending on what base miniatures you want to use, this could be a very interesting little project :)

I wonder why converting the perry foot, when there is so much brilliant stuff without converting avaible (for example the pig iron stuff)?
