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.

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) ;)

I wonder if Dwarf Noble riders would fit on Orc warboars. Dwarves need a manly mount. ;)

A goat or ram would be cool 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.   :(

I'm pretty sure they are Gnomes

I revived my Warmaster blister today.  Dwarf Throne of Power (General) with 6 guards/throne bearers, Anvil of Doom with Runesmith on top (Spell-crafter) along with 2 guards, Bugman (?) with a mug/stein. A chained pet bear with trainer or jester(?) not sure on the last fig.  They will make a unique & easily identifiable General & spell-crafter for sure.  
I have not heard back from Great hall games after several emails and a week, So I'll be moving on. They lost a $100+ order easily. They replied initially then nothing, even after I sent 4 more messages. Shame.
The War Store does not have warbands as of yet, but they have some older fantasy stuff from Pendraken.
I may just bite the bullet and order direct from Pendraken. I was hoping to avoid the shipping (Im from USA) , but I dont want to wait on these other shops forever.

Something like this: (mine are new/unpainted)

Do you get a Warmaster blister from too much frenetic Warmastering?

Order straight from Pendraken! With every order you get a free whiff of Middle-Borough air!

Ordered my Warbands rulebook, along with dice/fames, counters/tokens, bases. 
Hill Dwarf starter army set ( command, wizard, riders, shooters, artillery, 3 warriors)

Also some extra hammers, handguns, command, and flame throwers to beef up units. Along with my WM throne & anvil, i think im set. I may add extra warrior units later if needed.

Looking forward to seeing this progress, Bloodaxe !  :)

Ha!
I guess I should say blister pack? Maybe not.....

You see the @$$ selling sandwich bags of "concert air" on Ebay?

I don't see why dwarves shouldn't also have magical abilities. They're celebrated for both magic rings and helmets of invisibility, for a start. And I remember the Dwarf wizards Kodak and Xerox an Australian friend used in Tunnels and Trolls back in the 80s; species wasn't too much of a problem.
