[DowVooVoo]

Well anyone doing this? I was thinking add a gun and a power pack and some wild sci fi camo. ?

Well what a great idea. This I want to see 

[NickNascati]

So basically the Dreamforge troopers?

^This was my first thought...the Dreamforge fellas.

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?

[DowVooVoo]

Just thinking is all. I do like to convert so? Heretic? why yes Dreamforge? Ill have to look into them, thanks

[Daeothar]

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!

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

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 want 15mm Eisenkern.

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