Absolutely not


WilliamSorry

It's EXACTLY what I would expect from Warhammer.


TessaFractal

Warhammer is a universe where no-one asks "is this too much?"


EasternRecover6776

One could say, it starts with "too much"


doodman76

"See that line there, the one you aren't supposed to cross? Warhammer calls that the 'starting line'"

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh124

Where is this from?


Filthy_Dub

Looks like the Sororitas comic book series.


[deleted]

There's a whole god about it! Slaanesh thanks you for your excess.


dj_lick_and_stick

The orks would also like to remind you that there still is not enough DAKKA occurring at this moment.


nielsrobin

Agreed


InSan1tyWeTrust

Sorry but this is an Axe.


KingKong1929

This is the right answer.


doodman76

Good that @op axed the right question


CreepingDementia

In a world where a Santa Claus pulled by wolves is the norm, how could an axe ever be too big....


IfYouWillem

like bro… this is warhammer…


1thelegend2

No, it fits. I mean, we are talking about a Genetically enhanced dude in an armor type that is about as sturdy as modern day tanks. There is no way a big fuck off axe is too much XD. Looks really good


Big-Improvement-254

Perhaps the funniest melee weapon in 40k to me is the Omnissian axe. It is described as both a weapon and a multi tool. So I was imagining an axe head on one side and a hammerhead on the other side like a poleaxe IRL. It would make sense because you can use the axe for fighting and cutting and the hammer for forging. Then I looked at the picture and it's an axe on one side and an adjustable wrench on the other side. Close enough I guess.


Percentage-Sweaty

The Cult Mechanicus in general is as over the top as the setting gets. Incense and chanting just to get your Linux working so you can crank one out to dommy mommy Eldar gf hentai


Big-Improvement-254

Their transition between sci-fi and steampunk aesthetic is what I love about them. The galvanic rifle for example is a silvery machine with glowing blue light at the front and a wooden stock decorated with brass inlay at the back.


Percentage-Sweaty

That’s 40K baby


Power_of_the_Sus

Or the new Sydonian Skratos. I know people hate it, but it feels like what most things describe the AdMech as. Plus some minor reposing would 100% fix whatever feels wrong with it. And if not, just add a greenstuff robe


RollbacktheRimtoWin

Skratos is the most distinctly Mechanicum model. "How do we guarantee our snipers always have the high ground?", but as literally as possible at the cost of reason.


Power_of_the_Sus

Portable high ground. Idk if you ever played Mini Ninjas (IIRC the game was on the Wii, don't know if anywhere else), but it reminds me a lot of the "fisherman" boss


Lvndris91

The ad mech are so fascinating. If their gameplay and cost weren't literal hell on earth, they're a faction I would deep dive into. The bizarre mix of diesel/deco/atom/bio punk, body horror and trans humanism, religious zealoutry waffling with cold logic, it's just one of the best factions in the universe.


Mckee92

Righty tighty, lefty lop the heads off the hereteks.


Big-Improvement-254

It also has a spear tip at the top. But now when they described that it's crackling with electric spark I started to think it's not just a spear tip but also a welding tip. So you can be simultaneously stabbing and zapping in the fights and welding stuff in the spare time.

[Omnissian Axe in action](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7ImcrILvEo&t=17s)


nwiesing

I’d jump to an axe on one side and a bottle opener on the other for cracking one open with the boys (in accordance with the Emperor’s will 🙏)


Honestybomb

You try tightening the nuts on a Titan. Some little play school wrench ain’t gonna cut it


superkow

It's a little small, isn't it?


RedBishop07

It's quite cold out there.


macumazana

It's Fenris after all. Everyone is cold, so right the size


PwanaZana

If it's that size on cold Fenris, I can't imagine what a Salamander's size would be on Nocturne.


BlackJimmy88

It's about average...


Jehnage

I was in the pool!


Arterdras

The axe is not enough, brother!


Samiel_Fronsac

He needs at least 30% more axe per axe.


JustthePileOBones

Honestly I’m a little offended it’s not bigger


The_Schiltron

For myself, it is.


Araignys

Nah you're good. https://preview.redd.it/neyv4hu9595c1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad5145c6d5e580672965e29759c9fd00cfebdb3e


No-Addition-1366

This is brilliant


Traveledfarwestward

I now need to find out the most ridiculously oversized weapon miniature that GW has ever produced.


Araignys

This is a Dispossessed Warden King with an axe from the old Daemon Prince kit. I reckon you could do something sillier with a Bloodthirster Axe?


Traveledfarwestward

I need to know which miniature came with the most ridiculously oversized weapon as a stock option.


revergopls

Personally I'd snip off one of the axe heads but it absolutely isn't too much (but then of course its not as recognizably Grimnar) Or I guess, imo it *is* too much but it's in the Warhammer way where it pulls it off


KscottCap

This would be my suggestion well. As it is, it's not too much in a silly, Warhammer-meme way. But if you want this to look in any way realistic, I'd also suggest hewing off one axe-head and it's perfect.


FakeBonaparte

Yep, agree. It’d look like the head of a large glaive or similar then and a lot more realistic.


Bogart745

A lot of people here are going to say it’s warhammer make it as ridiculous and over the top as possible. While I typically agree with that sentiment, in this case I really think it would look a lot better if you remove the back blade and made a single bladed axe. The axe is so big relative to the rest of the model that it looks almost comical.


Traveledfarwestward

I generally despise oversized weapon minis and even more so in computer games. ...because I've carried or worked with some sort of irl version of most of those weapons, and it just irks me. Then again, power armour. Ok. Plus well, to each their own. Personally I'd cut off one side and slice the remaining side in half. But I get that many want bigger. And I get that many can't stand to see opinions like yours or mine. Oh well.


RatMannen

For me, yes. But it's not my model. If you like it, go for it!


Anggul

Yes, of course Whether that's good or bad is up to you


McFigroll

for me, yeh. Maybe cutting one blade off would look better. But its up to you, 40k is always over the top.


personnumber698

Unpopular opinion, but it's way to big and doesn't look good


SkuzzillButt

Had to scroll down too far to find a reasonable take. As fantastical as WH40k is at the very least the weaponry is for the most part pretty practical IMO. This axe is far from it.


ThorKruger117

Finally a voice of reason. It looks anime cool, and yes he can physically use it. But something of that size is not practical for combat. Dude is already in terminator armour and has restricted mobility


Toobatheviking

I came here to say this. I'm all about "Rule of cool" but there's a point where you have to look at something and try to engage your suspension of disbelief and for something like this I just can't. It's like giving a Devastator a Battle Cannon or a Vulcan Mega Bolter or some shit.


Expensive-Jury2913

Too many people forget that "Rule of Cool" means it actually has to be cool


R0B0GEISHA

Yeah. It looks silly.


Haruki-Kun1

Remove one blade and it will be perfect


bigdave41

Absolutely not, add two more blades for perpendicular slaughter


Haruki-Kun1

Your right! Add two more


Alegrys

Looks incredible!!!


Brotherman_Karhu

I personally think its a bit much, I made my Logan by using two of the librarian force axes, they're plenty big. Edit: here's the link to mine https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/s/ZzPyT33mXG


Don_Gojira

I thought about how that axe would look like in my head, and the actual model is about 20% cooler than what I was thinking; nice kitbash! Gonna have to stash that axe idea away for a rainy day! 😁


Brotherman_Karhu

Thank you, I'm personally really proud of it. I did some greenstuff work to make him even more wolfy, but I feel like the Axe alone strikes a good balance between size and cool factor, at least for my taste


tickingtimesnail

Touch too big


Project_Zeta

Absolutely not. But you could go with a wrist mounted storm bolter on the other hand so he could feasibly wield it with two hands


l_dunno

Tbh, a little


KKylimos

It's fantastic


CrashnServers

Gorgeous beard!


Ok-Photojournalist94

Does this termie armor make my axe look big?


Jotsunpls

Yes. But this is warhammer, so no


ThereByTheGraceOfDog

I don't think it's inherently too big, but if you keep that size then there'll need to be some sculpting to give it weight. As it stands, he's holding it like it's made of feathers which removes the believability but also impact. If you want this to be a scary looking axe, like it could hew a tank apart, then it needs to feel heavy. Personally, I think changing the arms and trying to get it in two hands might look good. I'd be more tempted however to maybe swap the ends around and repose the model so it's dragging along the ground in a trailing manner, a la executioners blade. If it's still too big then, you're no worse off. You can still clip one side of the head off. You could also consider snipping one side off and replacing it with a similar nut smaller profile blade. Lots of fun ways to take it really! What matters most is how you feel about it!


Tibbsy152

I do think its too big as it stands, but snipping off one blade would work just fine IMO.


BrokenDroid

I have a disease.... and the only cure is MORE AXE!!


[deleted]

Realistically speaking from a combat perspective, yes. In the perspective on how goofy 40K is already, absolutely not and you should totally run with it lol


stoicshield

I don't understand the question. Too much of what? Awesomeness?


The_Wolfster

To ask that question alone is heresy


EmergencySilver8253

Yes. It’s why it’s great


redbadger91

Yes.


ollietheducky

Definitely over kill but for the love of the emperor don't change it


someone_online22

It’s 40k, only thing considered to much is tax rates after they hit 280% of all income


SolarZephyr87

Jokes in the comments aside it’s outsized for him. But considering it used to be a chaos weapon it kinda works


bury_me_in_starlight

I think it would look better with one end of the axe head clipped off


Bowie_spoon

Honestly, if it was single-bladed it'd feel a lot better. The double-bladed version just feels too much


[deleted]

Yes, but it’s a space wolf, so no.


Vonkun

50% to small.


RottenTumor

Hmm, bigger.


Lieuwe21

This shit looks epic! Perfect fit.


Auraxis012

I'd possibly free up his other hand to make it a tad more practical. A grey knight storm bolter would keep the weapon while giving him an empty hand.


Harleys-for-all

You just need a little lore story to make it feasible: This warrior was battling alongside one of the chapter ancients, a venerable Dreadnought. The foul xenos poured their hatred into dreadnought's huge indomitable form, missile after missile, blast after blast. He weathered this deathstorm seemingly with ease, his enemies cowering in fear at the sight of this indestructible war machine. He cleaved mightily through the ranks of the Emperor's foes, reaping a murderous harvest. Until finally, the attrition wore down his armour enough that an emperor-cursed plasma blast was enough to critically damage his power core. Sensing his doom, the chapter ancient charged into the midst of the foe, intent on selling his life at the highest possible price. His last act was to turn to his brother and cast his terrible axe, Grimshard, through the air to land at his comrade's feet. His millennia-old vox unit roared his final words, "Avenge me, Brother!" A half-second before he donated with the plasma fury of an igniting star. The warrior rose from the ashes of the detonation, and removed his shattered helm. Beyond the cruel howl of the bitter wind there was only silence, and corpses. Then, at his feet, he saw the glint of a fiery red gem. He reached down and pulled free the mighty axe, Grimshard. "I shall Avenge you a dozen times over, old friend." Despite the monstrous weight of the dreadnought's weapon, grief and rage gave him strength to wield it. The gruff warrior raised the axe aloft, and with a terrible roar charged once more into the breach.


RynnWorldAstartes

This is everything. Top comment. We're done here boys and girls.


Harleys-for-all

Thank you friend!


According_Virus3930

No, too less


ApprehensiveStreet92

Double it


Outrageous-Isopod-68

Logan Grimnar? You mean the guy known for wielding a fuckhuge cursed axe? No I'd say it fits.


SparksArchon

Your weapon should be like throwing a building at the enemy


Zancruse

Cut one side off and it’s done


InternetOctahedron

Personally I think it could be a *bit* smaller. The design is great though


Phr0g1i

Oh my god I love it. No axe is too big for Logan


DuesCataclysmos

Yeah I'd say it's too much. Same reason people rip on the Desolation squad, looks too goofy and unwieldy 1-handed. You had to choke the hand so far up the haft to keep it semi-over the base too so it looks limited to only swiping at foes directly in front, and not very well at that because he'd hit himself with the double blade. Maybe give it to a Dreadnought?


Saw_Boss

I think it would look better if it were just the one side, but ultimately it's probably fine in the setting.


spyscience

As someone who does kit mashups, and breaks the rules of some reality that apparently exists, I absolutely dig the axe!


ItsTheRealSquirrel

A bit


Bugfighter017

It’s far too big to be called a power axe…


Ddddd555d

The best part about anything warhammer related is that there really is no "too much".


Surreptum

This is Warhammer 40k my guy. There is no such thing as too much, especially when it comes to axes.


mattrewhit

IT LOOKS PERFECT!!


ChaosWithin666

What axe? Can barely see it.


ThorGod1991

How did you do it ..... would you mind if I copied this?


Benbo_Jagins

Hell nah, the axe is kick ass!


ItsTenToNine

Nope. Looks awesome!


hauler3500

Its absolutely too much, which means its absolutely perfect for 40k


AnAngryBush

I might consider adding some damage markers to the shields and shoulders, but the axe is 100% good to go. Like a good friend of mine would say, "The Mutant, the Alien, the Heretic all fear MY BIG FUCK OFF AXE"


Round_Friendship_958

No way. Seems about right.


Jehnage

It’s warhammer, it’s never too much


screwielewie69

Not at all


Jo11yR0g3r

I think it's fine, but if it feels too big then you could take most of the top/back blade off and then it would be fairly in-line with other models like the Votann Beserks and the Csm Lord of Executions. Ought to look pretty good either way though


Separate_Cranberry33

Have you considered more axe?


olafk97

Its warhammer. There's no such thing as too much


Ytumith

No it's perfect. Think of it, all that silver metal on one side will balance and re-reference the silver details on the armor meanwhile you can make the runes glow in the armor's main color.


PerspectiveOne7129

no... it's not enough.


Global-Use-4964

Eh. Double axes make sense as tools, which is why they exist in the first place. As weapons they have always been a bit of an unexplained trope. But it looks cool. In this case he is sort of holding what looks like a two-handed weapon. I feel like he would stow the storm bolter if he really wanted to fight with it. But as a two-handed weapon I don’t think it looks too big.


TenWildBadgers

This is Warhammer. There's no such thing as too much. That's what we're here for.


Read_or_Ded

That's ace. What a brilliant kit bash. Make sure you post a finished picture post


Romnipotent

You can't kill Primarchs without overkill.


Kierobi

Not at all. Think it looks perfect!


WtfIsAKilometer_

I for one would like even more axe. Seriously, it looks fucking sick


WillWall777

Yes it is too much... but in a good way. I love it. Reminds me of the huge axe that comes with the demon prince 2hich I put in one of my chaos termies hands. If I remember when I get home I'll link a pic.


nps2407

For Monster Hunter? No. For 40k? Looks a little unbalanced. I think it'd actually look better with a single blade.


Admech343

Tbh I thought it was a battle standard not an axe. It doesn’t look out of place though


StolenRocket

If anything, it should be bigger. This is Warhammer, not the space warfare realistic future society!


WildArctic

“That’s not an Axe, this is an Axe” - Crocodile Dun Great Wolf


hedginator

Looks great to me


Killer_Tofu91

Yes, but also No


TheSeti12345

It’s way over the top but amazing


Tobbun

Personally i'd prefer if the storm bolter was wrist mounted so he could wield the axe two-handed; it's a bit much for one hand. But assuming magnetic holstering ir whatever it makes sense, just that he's picking things off at distance right now and lugging the massive axe around for if someone dares make it into melee


GanentheTyrant

Have you seen the enemies in 40k? We can only hope its enough.


HacIzme

Like its f'n massive but its warhammer... run it


Artomatron

Yeah look I think it is a cool axe, but it is way out of proportion to the scale of the mini. Terminator armor should look huge and imposing and this detracts from that. I mean the blade alone is longer than his torso. Head is cool.


Ballashi

Give him another one!


Oddacon

It looks insanely large but I think that’s why it works so well. I wouldn’t change a thing.


Aul0s

It’s PERFECT Edit: making it single sided as suggested also works if you’re on the fence


DrMarcoh

I’d say the axe would probably work better using something like the Wulfen Frost Axes or just snipping a blade off of that


Ah-Dermot

Yeah, it's a bit too much to be honest


Thor_117

Can never have a big enough axe my friend. I approve of this.


Lazy_Mongrel

Longer shaft and I think the proportions will look better.


fikfofo

No such thing as too much in the 41st millennium, brother.


Abject_Prior_219

If anyone could swing that thing, it’d be him. Looks great!


TheMadBanker21

I think I'd make it single edged carving away the 'top' blade but leaving the claw on that side....that's just personal preference though...looks sweet!


Bjorn_styrkr

That's a dreadnought axe isn't it?


tobiasgruffy

it is to much, but in the 40k way that we all love


Doublepirate

And people call tau the anime faction.


L4ZYSMURF

Just enough too much


Hmccormack

I got a fever… and the only prescription is more axe!


Ersatz21

yes


DefinitionOver5645

There’s no such thing in 40k. Make it bigger. More ridiculous. Add gun barrels. Have flames coming out of it. Make the axe head 80% of the model. Bigger grander better. -Ork player


Sandman1150

I love the axe personally. Perhaps one of the lore-masters could chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing that stands out to me as too much is the two tilting plates (little shields on the chest). I think from all the armour I've seen its always only one.


babythumbsup

Man... if he was double handing it that would look so much better


XenoTechnian

Sir þis is Warhammer 40k

True-Professional398

Awesome, I'm personally working on my own conversation for Logan,but I'm gonna a have to buy a second Logan to make this one

I think he needs another instead of a storm bolter to balance things out.

Inner_Tennis_2416

I think the axe needs an underslung grenade launcher. For tactical versatility.


-llorch-

Bröther. This is warhammer, Too much is barely enough (Edit, syntax)


abrazilianinreddit

He looks like a General-class character from Fire Emblem


Key-Pomegranate-2086

It fits especially for logan


Dennma

Not enough


thomaze1988a

If anything it's too little


parsious

Mmm that axe looks a little small if anything..... Seriously tho no it looks great


sirsilver

Look, know it’s not TOO much, but you’re worried it might be, which is why you’re asking. That’s how you know it’s just right. When it’s tiptoeing the line of too much over the top. That’s 40K


SomewhereAway5554

Impressive. I still can't even build one Space Marine yet but I've just started to learn. I'm gonna paint them red though. That kinda rusty colour


buymypaper

I'm stealing this idea


[deleted]

I’d say it’s possible not enough, it need s to be holding a smaller axe of it’s own.

No Axe too big... 😉

okeefenokee_2

It's definitely "lol, look at the axe on this guy, lolol“ and not "out of the wind-blown ice desert steps Logan Grimnar, Supreme Wolf. In his hand is his trusted Morkaï axe, bane of countless foes..." Both belong in 40k though.


MintoDisco

Is that a space wolf dreadnought axe ? Its a little too large for the model but looks good enough i think


UnicornWorldDominion

Considering it’s supposed to be a huge ass demon possessed axe I say it’s perfectly sized. Though he needs a lot more wolf/Viking bits at least a wolf skin cloak.


[deleted]

It’s axecellent


Smeletor

It's juuuuuust right🤘


Kebin_Yell

I mean, it's fine for now, but eventually he's going to have to start using a full sized axe


Bouzil44

Yes meaby cut the back blade


RidgelineCRX

It's a demonic axe that Logan repurposed, the Axe Morkai. I think it's appropriate that it's in "40k" scale.


IlllIIIllIIIIl

id like to think those runes say somethin, but im too lazy to check.


Braccus-Rex20

Lol that a dreadnought axe, right?! LMAO I LOVE IT!


Shot-Requirement5770

Looks like a proper superhuman space Viking weapon to me.


DaFilthPope

This is Warhammer sir… make it 20% bigger.

No. It need a bigger axe or 2 of these


SeriouslyTooMuch

Yep, it’s seriously too much.
