Steel Fist Miniatures’ dollies

Perry Miniatures’ late medieval plastic sets are generously provided with heads (seventy different apparently) and arms bearing all kinds of weapons from bills to bows to various pole arms, swords, maces, etc. Consequently there will be plenty of spares after assembly of the plastic figures from each box.

Cue Steel Fist Miniatures with a range of headless and armless ‘dollies’, designed to fit with the Perry Miniatures range. I ordered five sets, initially to augment my mercenary crossbow and hand gun armed figures, and to fashion gun crews for my Front Rank canons.

As you will see, the sculpts are very finely detailed, and, I would say, very slightly shorter and very slightly leaner than Perry Miniatures’ plastic and metal figures. This is an observation rather than a criticism, and I am really looking forward to assembling a few of these to see how they look when combined with Perry’s heads, arms, and weapons.

Steel Fist Miniatures’ standing retainer dollies …


… crouching and kneeling retainer dollies …

… retainer dollies in brigandines …


… dollies in padded coats …


… and men-at-arms dollies.
