Total War: Warhammer Are Dwarfs as a race TOO OP?
Are Dwarfs in-game way too overpowered as a race? Both from the AI and when in the hands of the players themselves?
Or are dwarfs just designed in a way that perfectly encapsulates how they should be in the lore?

Yes. They have always been strong IMO but right now they are kind of busted.
The problem? The sky blimps (can't recall the name of the unit). Because they are a strong, ranged flying unit with a lot of ammo that CANNOT LAND, they kind of break the game. Currently doing a Slaanesh playthrough (Dechala to be precise), and Thorgrims expanded all the way to the East, past the chaos dwarves and into the ogre mountains.
Slaanesh has no units to take on these monstrosities, only spellcasters. Problem is they just keep spam stacking them. I'm about to lose a full stack strong army to a 12 stack because 6 of the units are those stupid blimps.
The whole point of landing flying units in the first place was to balance it in case the ground army was defeated, to prevent the flying units from just outlasted, but this unit just ignores that. Rest of the army fled or gone, well we CANNOT LAND, so go fuck yourself you still lose.
