Who is Snig the Axe ?

[Dragonbait]

The first rule of Snig the Axe club is don't talk about Snig the Axe club.

Wait, is it a battle axe, or a club with a blade? You are confusing me, lukelightning.

It's like sword-chuks but it's a club joined to an axe by a short length of chain. With spikes.

He is a goblin.

If this is the case, then what is with the bru-ha-ha about the Warlord when this Snig the Axe has (or IS) this amazing new weapon. I think a 10-level prestige needs to be made around such a weapon. Perhaps a new system of spells, feats, and monsters linked to such a weapon is necessary too.

One of my favorite minis.

On a serious note, the Snig the Axe mini was useful for when I assaulted the party with a horde of fungus-brew-induced-frenzied goblins weilding greataxes.

Does Snig have his D&D stats available anywhere online, or does one have to purchase one of his miniatures to get them? I'm going to have a goblin band show up in my campaign, and it'd be fun to slip Snig in there.

1. An AXE wielded by an goblin.

2. An GOBLIN wielding an axe.

It's a GOBLIN wielding an axe.

The AXE wielded by a goblin was from Runequest's Trollpack (OK, it was a trollkin, which is as close as you are getting to a goblin without being a goblin).

Visit him at home but ya' better watch your backs!
Let's hear it for Snig the Axe!
