What should I do if I'm going against lizardmen? He uses chakax and a engine of the gods.

GK

Well it depends on what else his army has and what you will be fielding mate. But first off I definetly would take a Anvil of Doom with a Runelord, or better yet take Thorek Ironbow, the Anvil of Doom Special character since he's taking one to help out against magic. besides this, I need to know what you will be fielding before I can give you more help, and a rundown what he usually runs would help also.

This is what he takes

A unit of skink skirmishers
a unit of saurus warriors
one Skink Priest
one unit of temple guard
a razordon
saurus cavalry

And a Slann I assume? What points level?

GK

Its probably best to assume that he does since I have yet to see a lizardmen army without one.

I like using the Master Rune of Challenge to draw deathstars into a nice tarpit unit.

It would be hard to do with Dwarfs, but avoiding the Guard in combat and shooting the crap out of them wouldn't hurt. Two cannons would help. The Slann can't make those LOS! rolls forever...

Otherwise...hm. I'd just try to stop him from casting Regrowth and Flesh to Stone. Try to...endure the Dwellers(?). Ignore the rest. These two spells are probably the toughest problems in Life.
I mean, once the Temple Guard are dead, you can kill the Slann. Most of your army will be toast, probably. But hey, you just killed one of the oldest living things in the Old World.

Actually when im playing dwarf im fielding at least 1 cannon, 1 bolt thrower, 1 grudge thrower and 1 organ gun.
