The axe, including the handle, is a 10 in my book, while Varghar is a 9. Since Varghar is bigger, 9 it is! :D Seriously though, great work on this one! It's a really really nice miniature. What mainly keeps the wolfen from being a 9 IMO, is the deep brown shading of the skin that could have been a little better blended and some spots on the muzzle (if you can call it that on a wolfen), leather and claws could also be better blended. It's nitpicking, and it doesn't change the fact that it's a stunning piece!
