On my stalled project I used one of the Foundry cherubs as a figure head if you have any of those?

Lousy pic but you get the idea:

Cherub? as a Dwarf figure head?

That doesnt sound threatening, grim, dour and practical enough

Just a beard? It's on land, so streamlining and elegance is less of a concern. A grim line for the mouth, and a majestic braided beard sweeping away to either side.

The forward cannon would be the nose.

A huge menacing hammer of pickaxe would make a terrifying figure head for dwarven vehicles!

How about simple ultilitarian dwarven practicality without ornamentation?

Surely the function of the device is what matters. You're a dwarven engineer not some flower-waving pixie-fiddling pointy-ear!

Survivablity and lethality matter, not whether the intricate pierced enamel work of your chariot matches the lacework of your bloomers!
