Great looking minis, but why is that guy holding his axe backwards?

Found on the BGG from Flugubluk :
Quote
It might seem odd, but he has it in perfect position for a perfect strike as he stands. The hand at the bottom part of the handle will turn it around to rotate the blade and add even more power and motion to the blow.
If he held it the "right" way, his movement would be clumsy and way less efficient.
Try it for yourself at home with a somewhat long stick (no, not with an actual axe, you loony), and you'll see for yourself. The lower hand (generally, left hand) will hold the "handle" from the back, twisting your wrist
Have fun!

I really can't wait to see the end result.  I have low expectations (game board plastics etc.) but the sculpts/poses are just awesome on most of the minis I've seen for this game.

It's absolutely amazing what these sculptors can do with a lump of putty.

These latest sculpts are fantastic. I'm particularly impressed by the face of Conan as a general.

I have loved his work ever since I saw his unreleased John Blanche Femme Millitant. Beautiful work.
