JoeK Miniatures Introduce the Axe Brothers
May 21, 2012 by brennon
Everyone needs a perfect Role-Playing miniature allowing you to express both your Good and Evil side. How about these Axe Wielding Warriors from JoeK Minis?
First up is Mr Bad Axe wearing some rather heavy plate armour and a burly helmet. I'm liking the heroic guard stance but you have to hope that the axe shaft won't come bent like that!
Next up is Mr Good Axe who has a distinct Albion feel to him, maybe it's just the hair? Both of these models would look fantastic as Role-Playing heroes and stand at an impressive 32mm so nice and grand.
So which side will you embrace, Good or Evil?
Not the most detailed minis (the fur texture on Mr Good Axe especially looks a bit lumpy) but some good character to them in their combative stances. I don’t think there’s much in the sculpts to give each a definite alignment though – the face-shielding helm on Mr Bad Axe could simply be because he’s disfigured and wants to hide it while the cocky smirk on Mr Good Axe could be from something darker than a joke. The tone of the paint jobs will be crucial.
Althought sculps are rather good and poses are dynamic there are not many details in these. Kinda shame becouse that would make these look even better.
Good Axe is a spitting image of Slaine from 2000AD. That alone puts him on my shopping list. Another company do a Slaine official figure but I like this one from JoeK.
