Where are they from?

The pics are from Coon. But Coon had a funny idea what Corded/Battle-Axe was. He actually thought it was a low skulled type, but it isn't, it's very high headed.

Corded/Battle-Axe types have, at different times, been found from Central-North Europe to the Russian steppes.

The early Slavs belonged to this type. German tribes, on the other hand, tended to be more Halstatt.

It is thought that the Battle-Axe and other Nordid types originated in Central Europe, and then spread east and north, with the spread of Slavic, Germanic, and Baltic languages and cultures.

Are you joking? This is True Slavonic Warrior haircut, for intensive moshing and headbanging

I don't think he's Battle-Axe, he looks low-skulled for a start.
Gota-type perhaps?

Yeah, this dude can pass for BA easy. The pigmentation is within range also. There is some distorition in the photo, but still, he's close enough. A convex nose would've made him a more convincing BA tho...
