Alternative Armies Release New Mountain Dwarf Command Set

AngusA25th Jun 2026

Three painted miniature figures of fantasy dwarves stand on round bases in a snowy outdoor setting with blurred evergreen trees in the background.

The left figure wears a horned helmet, patterned tunic, and fur cloak, holding a pole-mounted red banner with a gold emblem of a snarling face. The figure also carries a round shield on their back.

The center figure, slightly behind the others, wears a helmet with a nose guard, a fur-lined cloak, and carries a pole weapon with a curved blade.

The right figure, holding a large double-bladed axe over one shoulder, wears a horned helmet, fur cloak, and patterned tunic. Their beard is braided and wrapped around their waist.

Alternative Armies have expanded their dwarven range with a new four figure set of Mountain Dwarf Command. These 28mm scale figures are available as a set or as individual miniatures, and were sculpted by Sam Croes.

The Mountain Dwarf Command set includes an Officer, Banner Bearer, Sergeant, and Musician.

The Dwarven Hosts range of miniatures actually began life back in the 80’s, and continued to expand in the 1990’s before new poses were once again added to the range in 2022. Sculptors have included Andy Cooper, Mike Owen, Dave Gallagher, Kieran Billings and Sam Croes.

The entire range is still available via Alternative Armies on their website.
