Are there any magical axes in mythology or legend? Wikipedia gives me nothing.

The Slavic god Perun had an axe, I believe, the Axe of Perun is a pendant old Slav warriors were buried with.

One of the Aztec, or maybe Mayan, gods of thunder used an axe.
Axes were early dark ages of earlier peasant weapons so I doupt you'll find anything. Anytime afterward swords were so ubiquitous axes were just a tool and backup.
Basically, the axe was the weapon of the dude too poor to have more than a pot-pan worth of iron, and basically never steel because you can't just melt/recycle thay.
Do Orkz have a concept of civilians? I don't recall hearing much about Ork atrocities during waagh, but I've heard endless stories about Chaos ones. I know that I read one blurb where Orkz captured human scientists and forced them to work for them, which seems like some kind of distinction between soldiers and civilians. Do they just kill all humans they see once they deal with the soldiers?
Yeah I kind of wondered the same thing, like what would an ork do if it came across some cowering children?

Kill em, enslave em, use em for target practice. Orkz live and breath violence and war. And ork attrition rates means that those captured dont live for long. Blood axes and Bad moonz might ransom em off or hold them captive, but expect most others to simply brutalize them for cheap laughs.
