About this mod
Ever find it strange how the Headsman's Axe is so long, and has such a pronounced tip, yet it's still a battleaxe? I did! So, with the help of Animated Armoury, I thought I'd change that!

I was always a bit disappointed with the lack of integration into the base game's content that Animated Armoury had. Despite the assets having on-par quality to vanilla, it still always felt a bit like a mod. So, I figured I'd change it up a bit!
Essentially, this very simple mod adds the halberd weapon type flag to the Headsman's Axe, and brings its damage and reach on-par with the Elven Halberd. However, being a rather clunky weapon, the Headsman's Axe is still slower than other halberds!
So, the Headsman's Axe now performs Animated Armoury's halberd animations, and has slightly tweaked stats. I've also forwarded a few of the changes from USSEP, so even though compatibility is not strictly needed, it's partially included.
Here's a showcase of what it looks like!
The armour in the screenshots belongs to Armoury Of Tamriel v2.0 (Silver Dunmeri cuirass & boots. CC silver gauntlets, Cloaks of Skyrim black linen cloak, black mage hood)
I made this mod a little while ago, so don't expect a tonne of updates or anything, unless there's something gamebreaking I never noticed. I made it mostly for myself, but I'm happy to support it for the foreseeable future if it's needed!
Compatibility
It should be compatible with just about everything, so long as it doesn't override my changes to the Headsman's axe. This is a very simple mod, which makes very simple changes! So even if the other mod overrides this one, its very simple to make your own patch with xEdit!
