Hello!
Here is a dwarf runesmith/runelord. Enjoy :)
Here's some civilopedia info from the games workshop website:
The ancient Guild of Runesmiths is one of the oldest and most respected institutions in all the Dwarf realms. All Runesmiths are related to each other in some, often very remote, fashion. Each carries on his family's traditions of arcane study, learning the ancient craftsmanship of working metal and magic into mighty runes of power. Although some other races make magic items of great potency, Runesmiths are masters of the art. The greatest Runesmiths are superlative craftsmen, widely respected by all Dwarfs, and even accorded the sort of reverence normally reserved for ancestors.
The number of Runesmiths is not very great. When a Runesmith judges that it is time, he chooses a young relative as his apprentice and teaches him the secrets of making magic runes. Runesmiths are very secretive about their knowledge and will only pass it on to a worthy successor. Many powerful runes have been lost simply because a Runesmith could find no one worthy enough to succeed him. However, Runesmiths do tend to live for a long time even by Dwarf standards. As Dwarfs get older they get tougher, even more obstinate, and extremely stubborn. These great heroes and lords can proudly sit at the tables of kings, and their immense age accords a status not possible amongst Men or Elves.
Runesmiths are ancient and powerful individuals. At the very least they will have endured hundreds of years of harsh apprenticeship under the demanding eye and unforgiving hand of their forebear. Older Runesmiths will have survived hundreds of years of further toil, centuries of beating runes from hot metal, and decades of searching out old secrets in the depths of lost Dwarf strongholds. As a result, it is hard to imagine a tougher or more cantankerous Dwarf.
