A Dwarf army is like a well-crafted mail shirt; each warrior is an iron-hard link, knitted together by duty, honour and loyalty. And, like a mail shirt, never a blow shall pass them as long as all the links remain strong.” – Dwarf Saying
They’re small! They’re round! They bounce along the ground! – Idris
We love dwarfs here and Games Workshop have given us 20+ years worth of background on our favourite Warhammer race. They’re long lived, honourable folk of the mountains who love gold, beer, and a good fight. Steadfast allies and implacable foes who never EVER forget a grudge (and boy do they have a lot of grudges), you do not want to get on their bad side.
So we’ll be writing some more about the short beardy guys and gals when we get a chance, but first let’s see what the best of the web has to offer.
Warhammer: Dwarfs from Games Workshop Online
Dwarfs from the Warhammer Online homepage
A basic roleplayer’s guide to the relentless dwarfs from the Warhammer Online Vault
The Big Thread of Dwarfen Lore from Warhammer Alliance forums (lots of nerdrage in this thread for added drama)
Dwarfs from the HammerWiki

Book of Grudges 
I really am growing to love dwarfs, so much so that I think I’m now veering towards Rune Priest as my main and Warrior Priest as an alt. Big change around, perhaps, but this book I’m reading totally rocks. Will bring it to show you today!
Hammerers forever!
