I have a few ideas for scenic bases already.

General- Dwarf High King on Throne of Power with guards & banners
Wizard/Runesmith- Anvil of Doom with Runesmith & guards
Hero icon- maybe a champion with shieldbearers
Berserkers Id like a dead Giant or Trolls, Orcs on the base. Maybe I can get a figure and file the front flat so it lays on the ground, dead
For RESOLUTE troops I can have a champion standing on an oathstone
For SHIELDWALL- more figures in front rank with shields
Archers/Shooters with POWERFUL & SLOW SHOT- have some flame thrower teams

That's going to be a fine looking warband there Bloodaxe.  Can't wait to see it!

Here's my take on 'shieldwall' so far:  http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/warband-red-mountain-hill-dwarves.html

I saw & admired that before. Great stuff! Do you know which code those shield Dwarves are?  Thats what i need, some sturdy dwarves with big shields.  Those bannermen are great too.

Sorry Bloodaxe, i'm not sure.  I actually think they might even be from the Gnomes range (FGN2)??  Not sure - i bought them a few years ago.   :(

Argghhhhh!!!  Hard to find some figures with little to no pics on the site. Shame. Ok, thanks though. I appreciate it. Im sure i can come up with something.

They're not from the Dwarf range as far as I can tell, you might be right that they're from the Gnomes, Lud.  I'll have a look at work tomorrow and confirm what they are.

Made my first official purchase. Its in the mail, I havent recieved it yet.  GW Warmaster Dwarf Throne of Power/Anvil of Doom set. From what I understand, this is a rare pack.  Im going to use these as my General & Wizard.  If the scale is close to Pendraken Hill Dwarf I will put a afew guards on the bases too. If not, I may just use what comes on the base or use a few other Warmaster Dwarfs as guards.
I'll post a pic when I get it. I may start a  whole new thread.

Dwarf cavalry? INCONCEIVABLE! That I would go to war without Rune Knights on Bears and Orcopolen light goat cavalry. Never leave home without them.

Ah, the Orcopolen Light Goat Cavalry regiment of the Welsh Dwarves Division.   :D

More "Lithuani-Dwarf Runic Order" 1st Mounted BBQ section but I'm sure those Welsh goblins would like a piece of the steak ;)

Yeah, but the Pendrakan Dwarf cavalry have ponies ....or is that a furry dog?  :)
I could see a mean boar, like in The Hobbit movie.

Look like mutts to me.   ;)

Or of course, bears...

I could add some more, if I fancy but my dwarves on bears and goats (or legacy breed sheep, could be either!) are "from another place" (TM) ;)
