I play elves a lot more than dwarves, so I'll defer to your experience
Lack of spears and mobility are definite dwarven weaknesses.

There is no "better", either one works fine, it depends what flavor you want. Personally I prefer elves: better mobility and more troop types, but dwarves are hard to crack and have some S4 options. Do you know anything about the scenarios? |

I disagree with whafrog; Elves are frequently used in the top GT armies, whereas Dwarves are rarely used there. The only way Dwarves work at a very competitive level is with Khazad Guard and allied spear support. |

At 800 points you could probably get the bost of both forces allied into eachother. Here is a force that represents what would have happened if celeborn had died from "unknown causes" and gimli got it on with the megababe.. Gimli- 90pts 10 dwarves with shield 90 pts 10 dwarves with bow 90pts 5 khazad guard 55pts 5 rangers with 2h axe Galadriel with fountain 155 pts 10 elves with spear 80pts 10 elves with spear and bow- 100pts 10 elves with elven blades and throwing daggers- 100pts 695 points, 62 models, 10 bows (two different volleys), 6 might, much more than usual being expendable due to the fountain. |

I really like dwarves with there high defense and axes. KG are great if you start with dwarves they are a must. Its already been mentioned but I ally my dwarfs with gondor to get spear support. This way you can also add knights of MT for some cavalry. |
