So i've gotten afew games in with my dwarfs at 1000 points, Mostly a gunline set up with quarrelers and war machines, and i have to say, i hadn't really enjoyed playing the list. It just seemed far too mindless, not much strategy needed but point and click.. Taking some advice from the shop owner ive decided to try a different sort of list, and id like to get some feedback on it before i go out and pick up the few extra things i would need to try this larger throng out.

Runesmith
2x RoSpellbreaking, RoStone, Shild

Thane
MRoValaya, Shield

Longbeards
30, Shields, Command

Hammerers
20, command, MRoGrungni

Cannon

Gyrocopter

Gyrocopter

Organ Gun
RoAccuracy

Irondrakes
10

I imagine your Thane is a bsb with said rune on him? That being said I would give him the master rune of Grungi so he can have the 4+ ward rather than a unit banner, and vice versa give the hammerer banner the Valaya for Dispel

I am not a fan of the Organ its always been disappointing in my games, You should really have forging on the cannon, the rune is just plain amazing on them

I personally would drop down to one rune of spell breaking, and drop the organ for maybe more hammerers/ Irondrakes/ flame cannon ( personal fave and does work on deathstars)

Likewise with the previous person, I also agree that your Thane (Assuming he's a BSB) should be the one with the Master Rune of Grungi for the 4+ Ward and your Hammerers take the Master Rune of Valaya.

Personally, while I like the Iron Drakes they are awfully expensive in a 1000 point army. If it were me, I'd use those points and add a Grudge Thrower. Otherwise I like the list a lot.

Third on swap valaya and grugni. I think Grugni is BSB only.

I'd consider dropping either the drakes or the 2nd copter to get forging and burning on your cannon, and possibly forging and accuracy on your organ gun. Extra bodies in the hammerers couldn't hurt, and longbeards would appreciate a stubborn banner.
