Ax Faction Unleash a New Troll Hunting Femme Fatale
May 31, 2012 by brennon
How many of you have heard of Ax Faction? I would warrant many of you have not, but they have some pretty awesome looking 32mm models in their steadily expanding range. Check out their newest concept for Jötnar's Bane: Troll Hunter...
Now that's one powerful woman warrior to bring down a troll that massive. Some pretty ace artwork that hopefully should translate well into the actual miniature. If you want to see exactly what some of their work is like, check out these...
As mentioned above these miniatures are 32mm so while slightly tall for conventional games they would make perfect Role-Playing miniatures or indeed for use as a great painting project.
I quite like the artwork for its 'tattoo' style and could see these being firm favourites, sort of reminds me of battle-hardened Soul Calibur fighters. It will be interesting to see what else Ax Faction can come up with in the future.
Also their home page has some awesome music on it!
What do you make of the offerings from Ax Faction?
Gilded Saint is maybe too much towards risky to be considered viable model for RPGs instead of just painting project. How ever Victorian Darling has nice gothic feel in her and might fit into proper gothic world.
The models are extremely well sculpted and the sptting image of the concept art, but you can tell this company is hoping to get picked up by Cool Mini Or Not… 😉 The pin-up style works OK when the lady looks like she can fight – take a look at the battle cry in the face of the troll hunter’s art for example – not to mention the size of the troll she just killed. The casual yet confident way the spear is being carried by the steampunk kraken hunter is cool too. The Gilded Saint however just doesn’t work… Read more »
The artwork and sculpts are top notch. The ideas are just yet more fan service fodder.
Am bored with fan service fodder however well presented.
St. Georgina just looks plain silly rather than sexy. Sorry.
Am I the only one who wants them to model that troll with its body attached too? I love the models despite the pin-up status since I think they have an edgy ‘cool’ to them which is interesting. They kinda remind of art that would be done as tattoos or on the inside of a music album…probably why there’s some music on the site lol.
But yeah, would be ace to see them do the troll as well!
BoW Ben
That would be a hell of a troll Ben!
Would be about 100mm at least? lol
PS Looks like they managed to put the krak in the Kraken Hunter.
Victorian Darling would be a lot more awesome if she had a peg leg.
I think I’ll start a charity for pin-up minis so they can get a descent set of clothing just in case a chilly wind blows in.
Some look nice but I can’t see myself buying them. Most pin-ups even from makers such as Soda Pop I’ll pass on. Just because it comes off rather sleazy. Sort of like having beach/biker babe posters on the washroom walls. To each their own.
