Thunderers(x10)= 140
Thunderers(x10)= 140
Thunderers(x10)= 140
Thunderers(x10) = 140
------
intend to do: Sit back and shot Till they meet hammers to finish them off..
alternative models: I have not goten all the models yet only the OG, Cannons, BT and 5 hammers so changed this list wont be hard..
Tactics is to let the artillary soften the targets and Hammers finish off whats left, warriors are to guard the flanks.

Condenvse the warriors into 1 Unit. Reduce the Hammerers to 20-30 Models. Units of 40 are are just to unwieldy, and units of 10 cannot stand toe-to-toe with anything worth fighting. Maybe Grab some Longbeards with the spare points, though you may have to cut the two runes of Reloading off the cannons, and the Rune of Slowness off the Banner.
I would recomend swaping the Rune of Fury for the Rune of Snorri Spangelhelm on your lord. I find the +1 to hit invaluable.
Your Boltthrowers cost way to much. For those costs, you could get striped-down cannons. Drop the Runes, and use the points to grab a Runesmith for extra Magic Defence.
Other Than That, It looks good.

Well, it'll certainly dish out a lot of damage.
Crazy Carnifex's suggestions are also quite good.
Don't think you'll have too many opponents after your first couple of games, though.

Dear lord...
About the only way you could make the army less enjoyable to play against is to drop the warriors, fill out the thunderers and take a gyrocopter to march block.
40 Hammerers??? Why?
A unit of 20 and a unit of 20 iron breakers or longbeards would be better.

Frightening Flamer of Tzeentch
in Canada

dear god that is horrid. Horrid but effective. I would drop the hammerers and make a squad of 20 hammerers and 20 longbeards. Longbeards are nice because everything within 6 inches of them re rolls panic tests. Not too shabby
edit
wagghh gonads suggestion is better 20 ironbreakers is more useful then 20 hamerers. 2 up in cc equals awesome.

Ok updated list tell me what you think.
Dwarf Lord - GW+Shield+Rune Spite+Rune Fortitude = 249
Runesmith = 70
Master ENG(2x) = 140
Organ Gun(2x) = 240
Cannon - Master ENG+Rune Forging+Rune Reloading+Rune Burning = 155
Cannon - Master ENG+Rune Forging+Rune Reloading = 150
Bolt Thrower - Rune Penetrating+Rune Seeking+Rune Burning = 90
Bolt Thrower - Rune Penetrating+Rune Penetrating+Rune Burning = 100
Hammers(x20) - Full Command = 270
Quarrellers(x20) - Musician+Standard = 235
Quarrellers(x20) - Musician+Standard = 235
Thunderers(x10)= 140
Thunderers(x10)= 140
Thunderers(x10)= 140
Thunderers(x10)= 140
Quarrellers take the place of the warriors and added a runesmith for magic def, I could change the hammers to ironbreakers.

Those units are not going to be able to use their firepower to full effect. They also lack Ommph in cc, because they are currently S3 Light armour. Becausae of this, no standards on your unit. They are just to vulnerable. If you want more CC potency from a Core unit, grab Longbeards.

I really recomend takeing some runes off these things.
Edited for spelling.

Replace the Rune of Reloading on your cannon with a Rune of Forgeing. Dropping some runes on the Boltthrower should find the points. Believe me, that rune should be on every cannon you have. It is Golden.
