These would make for spectacular battle and great axes.
2. I think engravings in various axes and other arms would be great, as show in Celtic engraved axe head with the green background.
Engravings in axes and others arms: Magic imbued arcane runes as shown in the sword, Deity symbols would look awesome engraved in axes heads or on handles.
I think armor, clothing, and shields with deity symbols would be great. Engraved in plate mail, stitched into leather armor, etched in shields, embroidered in robes, and more. Though we already have this with cloaks.
3. Make all arms fully tintable for most variations.
4. Experiment with axes, you don�t have to make exactly what you see here. Maybe make a two headed or double sided axes (axe heads at each end) for the mace axe and other axes.
5. Not pictured, but love to see the Nameless one�s axe from Planescape: Torment get made.
6. Gems and jewels in weapons would be great for arms. As shown in the jeweled axe.
I hope that gem like weapons will one day appear in NWN 2. A transparent crystal gem like texture to make for: Gemstone blade swords and daggers, diamond axe heads, Asmodeus ruby rod, etc.
7. The vault has some nice stone and marble textures. Wouldn't those make for good textures for arms?
New exotic stone and marble spear, hammer, and axe heads.
A glowing brimstone axe head. Or a bleeding bloodstone axe head that inflicts a bleeding wound upon hit.

Yeah, thanks for the effort! Although many pictures were already in my portfolio I could find some new ideas to develop with the axe pack. If you like one weapon to be done in special, just pm me
I'll try to reply your improvement list:
1.- Already thought as the axes share similar shapes. But I'd not take other people's work only to resize without the author's knowledge.
2.- That kind of engraving is hard, a normals painter as Zbrush is required to get the best result.
3.- Sure, all fully fully tint.
4.- Axes are axes, defintely you can do axes with a mace shape, or sword, or whatever but i guess people in medieval fantasy likes classical and dark stuff, Not uber experimental weapons seen in last hollywood movies :)
5.- No idea of that Axe. If you have no picture i could try with a description.
6 - How many gems? the sword of behelu in sword's pack has a reflecting gem. The "golden axe" have one too, the glow maps can be really make those elements in the weapon to shine :)
7.- Not really, I would like to see more metal/iron/steel textures which are odd because of reflection possibilities.
8.- Alban's pack isn't enough?
9.- Thanks again!
