Oh great, i just hit 50 pop with no trained military (useless migrants!) and an open front door. This will be so much fun...

Twenty or thirty stormtroopers militia with crossbows will do at least halfway decently, especially if you give them shields.

When my first siege hit me I had 9 of those. Behind fortifications. And before them stood one brave competent Hammerdwarf with little to no armor (the only one of his 6-dwarf squad to bother showing up).

With the barrage of wooden bolts from the 3 or 4 marksdwarfs who actuallay brought bolts flying over his head the Brave hammerdwarf took the fight against 20 or so macegobbos. He quickly got his arm broken in two places as well as a broken leg and a broken spine. Nevertheless he kept swinging his hammer until the gobbos fled before him.
And then he suffocated.
He had no kills or even hits with his hammer but as he swung and missed and taking a massive beating some of the goblins actually got killed by wooden bolts.

My fortress is a tomb of dead heroes

I'd say that dwarf deserves a statue. And not one of those rinky-dink single tile things either.
