I highly doubt that's going to be the dwarf mount, considering it's used as an Ogre mount, and the size difference between an Ogre and a dwarf is wellllll kind of great.

Yep, was thinking the same thing. I don't see this as a possibility for a dwarfen mount. They'd need a ladder.
I've no clue what the mount could be, but so far the only "ridable animal" that was associated with Dwarfs is a pony (pulling a beer cart). In the 1st ed WFRP book there was artwork of a dwarfen army with a few boar riders, but that's quite old and the idea of dwarfen mounts was dumped. Would be funny if GW bitch slapped Ubival by creating Dwarf bear riders as a retaliation for visually ripping of WH in HoMM 5 (ironic justice, as someone nicely put it)
I'm sure GW could come up with some good explanation (perhaps that dwarfs consider them similar to themselves in some ways, and they are more sure-footed and steadier than other mounts like horses ^_^ I always have the impression that dwarfs don't like mounts mainly because they have a hard time riding them [and trying to climb on top of them]).
