People are generally unhappy with their stats. They don't feel it reflects how Dwarvish Elite should be represented, especially with the likes of Khazad Guard.

If you love the models, which I do as well, there is nothing stopping you from using them as proxy models for Warriors of Erebor (Which with shields have better defence) or Khazad Guard (Which have better stats and Bodyguard). You'll just need to do some conversions to match the models to their new profiles.

Totally agree with this, to be honest I'm responsible for a lot of "hate" for the profiles because I speak it often. Here's the summary of why I dislike them (I'm primarily a Dwarf player and I have every pre-Hobbit Dwarf so I understand the subtleties of the faction)

Reasons GH are Garbage
- They are the only Dwarf "Elite" without S4
- They cost as many points as a Khazad Guard but have lower Strength, Defense, and Courage (due to body-guard)
- They have throwing weapons but with the move/shoot penalty theyre very inaccurate and not worth much, and if you want throwing weapons take Iron Guard, for 4 more points you get an extra attack as well.

In summary they do NOTHING better than any other Dwarf Elite, (and each of the other 3 excell at their specific roles). Their only real benefit is they can bring a 2h weapon to a pure Erebor list; however they are not even cost effective in this role as you must pay the 3 points for a throwing weapon (as its built into their profile), so in conclusion: Dont field them as Grim Hammers, convert them to Warriors of Erebor or Proxy them as Khazads (as mentioned above).
