what do u say about hammerers and don't Ironbreakers have mirtil armour giving them a +2 armour save  

[Drachyench]

1) It's Gromril, I believe.
2) That's only a thane at your current points. You're going to want at least two Regiments of twenty Warriors / Longbeards if you want any combat functionality [And a Battle Standard Bearer as well, but those can be made from a regular standard bearer with left over bitz].

I could give you better advice if I had a book on me, but I don't so this is the best I can do for now.

i have the dwarf codex at the moment and i was told by the manager in games workshop that in one of the white dwarf mag's there is a topic of dwarf armies, the best way for a dwarf army, different ways to make one

Hammerers are good but kind of vulnerable given the fact that they only have heavy armor. And, yes, Ironbreakers get a 2+ save in close combat. I've had my Ironbreaker champion accept a challenge from an Orc Hero, save both wounds and then kill the hero with his 2 attacks. I rarely play a battle without them.

I wish I had my book here, and the crazy list I took to a tourney I won.....but basically it was anti undead and chaos army (they have quite a few down in NZ!)

but the basics were
2 gyrocopters
2 units of 10 thunderers
20 ironbreakers
2 runesmith
1 lord with like high saves and wards and ability to take on larhe monsters by himself
1 unit of 40 or so warriors with a bsb with master rune of fear...

it was fun to play.

didn't think there were so many dwarf players out there, all i ever hear is how much everyone hates them  

[Farir Darkheart]

Mainly because Dwarves tend to have the better side of the ranged aspect then most of the other races. And I mean without magic of course. Plus runes provide a very interesting aspect to your dwarven army.  

[Drachyench]

Dwarves don't so much have the best ranged potential so much as they can get such for much cheaper than any other army. And the fact that their Shooty Armies can work in close combat too, and are usually much more durable.  

[Farir Darkheart]

There is no such thing as normal infantry for dwarves. It's all elite!

More expensive and fewer in number, then?
