Im looking for a durins folk list for 500 pts and am considering this
Gimli

balin with durins axe

the kings champion

18 khazad guard


just curious what you do or dont like

Looks solid, all good heroes and strong infantry. Might lack a little diversity though.

I'd counsel against doing something like this. Yeah, it looks straight forward and powerful on paper but if you find yourself having to do anything beyond a straight up fight it won't go so well.

Interesting. I've been thinking about dwarf lists too for the new ironhill dwarves. Seems hard to get a good fit at 500. The three heroes without filling up any of the warbands doesn't feel great but I haven't gotten a better mix for far.

I agree with Scib. Maybe try some Vault wardens, and there is nothing wrong with normal dwarf warriors.
Here is one of my recent 600 point dwarf list as an example. Hope this might inspire you
Warband 1:
Balin
10 x Khazâd Guard
2 Iron Guard

Warband 2:
Kings Champion
4x Vault Warden Team

Warband 3:
Shieldbearer
5x Dwarf warriors with shield
5x Dwarf warriors with dwarf bow

I'd argue against this list. Like others have said, it seems solid on paper but it lacks diversity and flexibility. You'll be low number, and despite Dwarven resistance, you will take casualties. Too many times I've had my high cost Iron Guards or other die to the silliest things, like Goblin arrows.

Without varying troop types supporting one another and engaging in different roles, you'll be forced into one strategy and struggle to counter different obstacles.
