This reminds me of the invaders in Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga. They used
similar equipment since the world they came from had little metal. There are
several good ideas for BR contained within that series. Although the
invaders are from another world it was magic that brought them(through a
large gate). The Riftwar is pure fantasy, and a good read. If you haven't
read it, pick it up. The first book is titled "Magician: Apprentice", you
won't be disappointed.
