Hate Orcs and Goblins

Dwarfs hate all Orcs, including Black and Savage Orcs, and all Goblins regardless of type. This enmity is rooted deep in the past as their age old Dwarf empire was destroyed by Orcs and Goblins.

Elf Grudge

Dwarfs bear grudges for a long time - possibly forever. As a race they have never forgiven the Elves for their part in the ancient wars which ultimately led to the destruction of the old Dwarf Empire. Although Dwarfs will fight on the same side as Elves when they have to, no Elf character can join a Dwarf unit, and similarly no Dwarf character can join an Elf unit. If your army is led by a Dwarf general then Elven units cannot test on his leadership value, and vice versa if the army is led by an Elf general.

The same applies to the Army Standard. If it is carried by an Elf then it confers no bonuses or re-rolls to Dwarfs; if carried by a Dwarf no bonuses or re-rolls are permitted to the Elves.

Furthermore, Dwarfs distrust Elves so much that they dislike fighting next to them, believing that they are untrustworthy and unlikely to stand their ground. Dwarfs therefore suffer a -1 leadership penalty if there are any Elves within 6", this represents their mistrust and the inevitable discord in the ranks. Note that this only applies to Dwarfs, not Elves, who are far more willing to put aside old and dusty quarrels.

Armour

Dwarfs are sturdy folk who can bear the weight of armour more easily than fragile humans and other races. A Dwarf therefore has a move value of 3" regardless of any armour he wears, no encumbrance penalties apply.

Pursuit and Flee

Dwarfs are not particularly fast, even in the frantic running combat of close pursuit. To represent this they flee and pursue 1" less than other troops, ie 2D6-1" rather than 2D6".
