When building a Warhammer army, the best place to begin is its respective Army book. These books are indispensable, as they not only provide you with the complete rules and army lists for your Dwarf army but also give you guides for painting, assembling, and selecting your army. Plus, you'll learn the background story of these stout warriors, a story you can find nowhere else.
Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs is one in a series of Warhammer Armies supplements. Each book in the series provides an in-depth description of an army, its history, and its heroes. Inside, you will find:

Lords of Legend
Rules and background for King Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Runesmith Thorek Ironbrow,
and the legendary Dwarfen brewmaster Josef Bugman.
The Dwarfs are the most tenacious and determined warriors of the Warhammer
world. Their mountain holds are under constant pressure from Orcs, Goblins,
and Skaven, so they must frequently march out to defend their homes and hoards.
Even in defeat, they record and remember every affront and will miss no opportunity
to settle their grudges with the edge of an axe.
A Dwarf army is like a well-crafted mail shirt; each warrior is an iron-hard link, knitted together by duty, honour, and loyalty. Like a mail shirt, never a blow shall pass them as long as all the links remain strong.
– Dwarf Saying
What Dwarfs lack in numbers, they more than compensate for with powerful war machines. These deadly engines of war are fashioned by their Engineers with an ingenuity that goes far beyond any other race. Unwilling to use wild magic, Dwarfs inscribe runes to bind it and thereby create weapons of legend, unparalleled anywhere in the Old World.
