If you do happen to see this person when you're in the store again it might well be a good idea to go up to them and explain that you realised afterwards that you'd calculated your points wrong and blame the one-sidedness of the game on that, and apologise. That way you're not remembered as TFG that stomped him, but as nice guy who owns up to their mistakes.

Then ask to play again with a de-optimised version of the list. You mentioned you had some warriors you didn't use, so maybe drop one of the cannons and some thunderers in favour of some warriors, and leave off the runes. That way even if you win the rematch convincingly, it probably won't be due to wiping stuff out before it gets into combat, so he'll get to participate more fully in the game.

What happens is that the Dwarf "competitive" lists tend to focus on blasting the ever living crap out of their opponents from long range with excellent cost effective war machines, and cleaning up the leftovers with a wall of tough Dwarves. That sucks to play against, because it feels like the Dwarf player is just playing against themselves. Strategy in movement in drained away because the Dwarfs can out range most enemies guns, and the enemy tends to just splash into a wall of Great Weapon Quarellers which grind out the remaining members of their army. Games against Dwarves tend to boil down to- Can the opposing army close fast enough with enough numbers to puch through the Dwarven Defenses? If yes, that army wins. If no that army doesn't. All long range warmachine focused lists are incredibly boring to play against- whether it is warmachine spam Dwarves, Empire, or even Orcs and Goblins (doom diver + lobba spam anybody?)
