The Chosen Axes are a Fyreslayer warband for Warhammer Underworlds. They were one of the first warbands released for the game, during the Shadespire era. Despite having painted a copy for John when it came out, I was never able to track a copy down for myself when I started playing three years later... until now...
A couple week's back, one of the guys I've been playing with lately, Sean, said he had a spare he'd gotten in a lot from someone and would give them to me, along with a Gargant!? In the end I traded my older Karanak Model and one of my copies of Garrek's Reavers for them.
I thought I'd knock them out quickly - how hard could they be!? They're nearly nekkid Dwarves with a helmet and axe(s) and a loin cloth... that's... like... four colours, right?
Wow... they took me a bit longer than I expected!? Everytime I thought I was done and ready to apply finish, I'd notice some other little bit on this one or that one... Ugggghhhh...
but here they are, finally done...

Orion has a copy and has played with them a lot... They are a tough warband to play with, considering they only have two move to start! They hit pretty hard - especially once inspired - and also once inspired start moving 3! They have to be holding an objective at the end of a round to inspire though... Orion's done okay with them using a Fearsome Fortress based Nemesis deck, though... so... might try that!
I'm exited to have them... don't know how much I'll play them...
