All polearm figures tend to be effective against melee armies, but none beats the Dwarven Pikeman.
Its low movement value is relatively unimportant in hand-to-hand battles, and its 18 defense makes it incredibly hard for most swarm figures to hit.
However, while the Pikeman will frustrate opponents who use popular, fragile melee figures like the Rivvenguard, its low move and relatively low damage value make it an ineffective sitting duck against ranged armies.
