my frien uses dwarves constantly and uses the flying axe formation, how can i beat it. it is nearly unstopable, the only way i can figure is with archers, but most evil armies are not that good at bow, what should i do

Well, if he's only using 18 minis like the diagram, I'd suggest using Isengard. Take the main army from the Legion list with a pike block and crossbowmen as the mainstay of your army, and ally in some Warg Riders from the Raiders list to out manuver him. shoot at the bowmen, two-handed Dwarves and the banner bearer- these are the softest targets. You should cause a couple of wounds, opening holes in his line. Use the wargs with throwing spears to help whittle him down and possibly draw away part of his army I'd suggest going after the loan captain as taking him out will help when he reaches brake point. Send the pike block in to smash the survivours.
Another way is to play scenarios so that he can't use that formation. Play games where deployment is split, or the army begins in reserve and arrives piecemeal, or games where you have to captur objectives.

that formation is quite weak in most lome scenarios, just focus on 1 flank of it, try and out shoot his bowmen, when thats done, charge em in
