I would suggest making an adamantine colossus with blade-arms and using that to kill it.

I tried that once, but made a terrible mistake. The colossus ended up covered in blades from head to toe.

It looked ridiculous.

Considering the Wambler incident, I think you should try to find disks. Steel would be best, but whatever works. Throw them at the BC untill you sever the head. Or just mod your race to have [SIZE:999999999999] with adamantine teeth and try to bite its head off.

I don't do much creature editing myself, but I think you just need to find whatever property sets the material of the creature's teeth and change it from human/elf/dwarf bone to adamantine.

Well shit, after the new version is released, I think i'm gonna make myself a "God" race that is 99999999999 sized, has adamantine bones (wolverine?) and cannot be killed. That is, if i actually find out HOW  ;)

You need a mutant healing factor and some shady government agency (or similar) with the means to inject metal into...  oh, right...  We're talking real life here, not some crazed fictional roundworld story.  This probably won't work on dwarfs, then.  Stick with the age-old method of accessing the universe's files and modding the properties. :)

Mutant healing factor? There is already super[race] toughness already  :P

it should be noted that if you do that, then ALL dwarves will be 100 foot tall adamantite tooth gnashing, apocalypse heralding, world conquering gods in the flesh

Not with the mystical power of a low [POP_RATIO], as applied to a third, genderless, godlike caste of dwarves. With teeth of adamant.

Would a better axe do the job? One that's harder than bronze?

WHY DID YOU HAVE ME KICK THEM WTF I DID NOT WANT TO BE SHOT AT.
I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

A steel greataxe should have an edge wide enough to sever a BC's head. Smaller weapons, up to and including, I believe, greatswords, won't work.

Why would you even want to kill a bronze colossus? They say if you rub the nose of one you will experience a great surge of power!

Yes. As in, the surge of the Bronze Colossus' powerful fist surging through your torso.

Ah. That is why you must first make sure the Colossus is not moving! A good way to do this is to stand next to a tree and wait for the Colossus charge you. Quickly jump out of the way and as the colossus slams into the tree he will fall over. Now before he gets up grab his nose! This is how you obtain the gift.
