Good advice overall by noblenick, the only suggestion I would have is on the Dwarven fighter. Don't take your proficiencies in the Bow especially since you have an axe. I would choose missile weapons, or none at all. The reasons are
1. there are ranged axes. Starting off you will need to use the normal throwing axes and they are heavy, but it will not be a problem if you maximized strength. Later on you can get a single axe that returns to the user and that is all you need for ranged.
2. Having a Bow equipped will not allow you to carry a shield and for a melee character such as this who will for the most part be upfront slicing and dicing the extra AC the shield gives will be helpful. This is the reason missile would be a better choice than bow, you don't need to pause every time you wish to go into melee, switch unequipped the bow to put up a shield.
3. This guy is going to be upfront blasting enemies to itty bitty chunks with his axe he isn't going to be using a bow, better to but those proficiencies wasted on the bow into a crushing weapon like hammers for golems.

Anyway this is basically how I would make him.
