A Dwarf Slayer is the ultimate Dwarf warrior, the perfect personification of death and destruction, and bringer of doom to the enemies of their race. Slayers are the strangest and most deadly of all Dwarf warriors. They are outlandish doom-seekers, individuals who have wholly dedicated the entire fibre of their being to the hardest and most destructive life of battle that they can possibly find. Dwarfs are a proud people, and none of them cope well with failure or personal tragedy no matter how small. The loss of a single family member or a hoard of treasures is inconsolable to a Dwarf, a fate that can seriously unhinge their obsessive minds. Eventually these burdens become far to heavy to bear, and a Dwarf would eventually snap, making him forswear the fellowship and comforts of family, clan, and hold, opting instead for a life of self-imposed exile. Having broken ties with everything they once held dear, these Dwarfs leave behind all possessions save for their own axes. [SOURCE]

In terms of LEGO adaptation, here what I thought it was essential: mohawk, beard, naked torso, tattoos, short legs. Then I have been a little indulgent with weapons and hair colors, including from alternative brands for multiple combos... and fun was endless, to be honest.
Besides, anyone with minimal drawing skills, perhaps precisely someone with miniature painting background and precise eye, could easily draw nice tattoo motives on naked torsos.
No need to explain, the first one below is not my creation, but LEGO's winking to Warhammer in one of the collectible series. The others all build on different unofficial minifigs, including a Iron Fist / Danny Rand torso never featured by LEGO (last dwarf with a chain and brown hair).

UPDATE May 2023
And finally comes one in actual orange (was it pig fat making this dye color in the lore?). Not clear whether this one has one eye scarred or is aiming before throwing its axes. Weapons are obviously from the Heroica sets. A bit shy on tattoos...
