Well my friend had these models from skull pass, and i said I'd take them, i got em for free!

I got 12 dwarf warriors, 10 dwarf thunderers, 8 dwarf miners, a thane, Slayer, and a cannon with 3 crew

How would i build on to that, I'm still REALLY new to fantasy so any tips would be great

The Battalion box would be the next thing to buy. It's a great way to fill out what you already have.

Make sure to pick up the dwarf armybook too so you can build a proper list. You're also going to need the rulebook at some point too.

If there is a GW close to you, then the staff should be more than happy to introduce you into Fantasy(including tips on building lists and an intro game).

Get a battalion and assemble the warriors with great weapons and run them as one giant mob (but convert 2 of them into heros/lords). Assemble the cannon/organ gun as a organ gun and assemble the thunderers/quarralers as thunderers. with what you have there you have a nice 1000 point army to play with.

Heros
Thane 144
Great weapon
MR of kragg the grim
rune of fury
rune of snorri spanglehelm
rune of stone

(4 S6 attacks that are at +1 to hit and a 3+ armor is good for 144 points)

30 dwarf warriors 325
Great weapons
full command

10 thunderers 165

10 thunderers 165
