Thrall's toothpicks, I mean axes

The one thing that really caught my attention in looking through the M3 screenshots was the one with the pack of thrall holding axes. The handles were so thin that I had no faith the things would hold together if they swung them. The gigantic blade completely overmatches the shaft, and there's no indication in the way the thrall are holding the axes that one side is heavier than another. There's no weight to it.

Kind of nitpicky, I suppose, but it blew the whole 'suspension of disbelief' thing for me.

Also, with that much detail, it's kind of strange to see 30 to 40 units having *identical* detail, with mirror image flipping being the most variation you see. Somehow it mattered less when they were less detailed....

To keep this post from being completely negative, I absolutely love the warriors. And the terrain has looked specatacular. I like the idea expressed in the Gamespot preview of the field of vision being illuminated by torches, with darkness growing as your units fall.
