I am not very good at military and have only just started to figure it out.
But they only occasionally use their weapons.

I sent a troop of 4 new recruits out against some goats and the did some times smack them with their weapons but for the most part they bit them by the leg and shook them around.

Is this normal?

[Loud Whispers]

Yep. Once they are adequate+ in their respective weapons, they'll pretty much solely use them.

And then they get real good with their weapons, get bored, and go back to training up biting and kicking.

And you think this is annoying until you see them go all kung-fu on goblins with one-kick kills or nose-biting followed by shaking until the goblin's head comes off.

I had a legendary fighter (who was very skilled with his axe) bite and rip the neck out of a beak wolf once.   I think his axe was busy hacking another beak wolf, so he decided to use his secondary weapon.. his teeth.  And here I was just tossing him into an arena with a dozen of these things.. a warm up exercise I suppose.

I suffered the misfortune of having a couple dwarves bite their goblin opponents several in unusual places. Such as their tooth, or upper lip.

The mental imagery was not pleasant.

I dream about such wonderful things! Can you imagine the look of shock on a goblin's face (if you pardon the pun), when a dwarf clamps around its teeth and rips them all out, teeth sailing in arcs across the sky? SPLENDID I TELL YOU!

If only new recruits would use those torn off parts as weapons...

I imagine it would ruin the whole epic battle vibe, simply because of how messed up it seems. Like stabbing someone in the nuts.

It's like, "hey, I know we're enemies and everything, and I'm currently trying to to tear your brains out of your skull and all that, but that's just not cool".

Dirty fighting all the way. It's no gentledwarves duel when dwarves and goblins meet in the field. Doubly so with elves.

sad

legendary biters do more than a lot of damage

Yeah, elves that not only ate dead enemies, but ate live enemies, whilst fighting them as well o_O

[King DZA]

Actually, with elves, I could see it being a little more appropriate. Not that I hate them or anything, but it could be justified as a preventative measure against having the corpse of you and your kin eaten later.

"you won't be able to eat me...IF I EAT YOUR MOUTH FIRST!*bites tooth*".

[Loud Whispers]

Wouldn't stop them gnawing on your corpse with their gums....

[King DZA]

I suspect that they could only go for so long, hopelessly scraping their torn and bloody gums across the tough, rotting dwarf hide before they figure it would be best simply leave it there to fertilize the plants.

Wow, that mental image was even worse then the mouth eating* dwarves.

*That is to say, a dwarf who attempts to devour the mouths of other creatures, not a redundant statement specifying that the dwarves in question eat with their mouths.

[Loud Whispers]

The image could only get worse if bees were involved somehow.

Oh dear.
