If a character has a runic device (weapon, armour, item) with multiple runes on it, how many magic items does it count as?URL Copied!
A runic item counts as a single magic item no matter how many runes are on it. Therefore, a Dwarf General can have 3 runic items with 3 runes apiece for a total of 9 runes held by 1 figure.
This also means that items that destroy/disable magic items will disable/destroy all runes on a given item.
Source: Warhammer Armies - Dwarfs, p. 24
Can a Dwarf army have 2 cannons with the Rune of Forging?URL Copied!
The Rune of Forging can be on more than 1 cannon as long as the set of runes on each cannon is unique.
The uniqueness rule for runes applies to all runes other than the armour rune of stone; this means that it includes the war machine runes.
Therefore, 2 organ guns that just have the Rune of Forging is illegal. On the other hand, 1 organ gun with (Rune of Forging) and another organ gun with (Rune of Forging, rune of disguise) is legal.

When do is the Rune of Spite rebound roll made against weapons that cause multiple wounds?URL Copied!
If 1 wound will be turned into many wounds by the weapon, make the roll to rebound the wound before the 1 wound is turned into many wounds.
When the Rune of Spite rebounds these wounds, the attacker only receives 1 wound (not D3, or D6 or whatever). The special power of the weapon does not kick in when the wound is rebounded onto the attacker. Therefore, if a wound from a Frost Blade is rebounded onto an attacker; he suffers a wound, he is not killed.
A weapon with the Dwarf Rune of Smiting generates its multiple wounds before the Rune of Spite save. This rune is an exception to the way all other magic weapons are treated against the Rune of Spite.
Source: Warhammer Armies - Dwarfs, p. 26 & Warhammer Design Team
