Well-made, well-animated unit model with comprehensive set of sequences. Would be nice if you add a hero version with hero glow. Review accepted by Footman16
Well hot dog, this is what I like to see. : ) Dwarves are one of my favorite races, and Wildhammer Dwarves in particular; they receive so little love!

Especially great here is the unique head/face; there's a fair number of good custom Dwarf models, but so many reuse the various faces it gets a bit monotonous. That alone elevates this, plus the custom animations. But of course you've provided plenty of wonderful little extras; Dissipate & Decay anims, several Spell anims, built-in Portrait. I particularly love the beer-drinking; reminiscent of the Footman's little side-flask, but appropriately more flamboyant. It's even in the Portrait! (though I am curious about your choice for the SFX of the foamy beer; in the Viewer it seems kinda "flashy", pulsating really 'poppily' rather than splashing? Ah dannae, maybe that's just me). Love the tattoos (a shame they aren't TC, but you've got it elsewhere & that would probably require a custom texture or really fiddly modeling, as I understand it).

Look it's a simple guy (perfectly fit for a Unit, Dissipate & all those Spell anims notwithstanding), but it's perfectly elegant in that simplicity. Love it.
 
I like this guy. He looks like a hardened warrior. With all these new dwarf models It will be possible to make some kind of Dwarf-Kobold war or something like this.
