I was thinking about building a Vigilante with an Executioner motif. I wanted him to have a big old beheading ax and a feel similar to the unstoppable slashers in horror films (Jason, Mike Myers). Is there any stats for an executioners ax? Do you folks have any suggestions for the build? I've gotten a little overwhelmed by all my options!
I think Vital Strike with the Butchering Axe will get the executioner feel across. Another option is to Prestige into Crimson Templar so that you can Coup de Grace with a Bastard Sword (Call it an Executioner Sword) as a standard action. Feats to consider are Brutal Coup de Grace or Throat Slicer

Coup de grace with a bastard sword sounds all neat and everything but TBH getting into situations where doing so is combat relevant are pretty rare.
Butchering axe/vital strike can get pretty impressive after a while, but i think it's better done with an abyssal bloodrager than vigilante.
Auto Enlarge from bloodrage + impact makes it 5d6 a hit and the rage gives access to Furious Finish So by 11 you can pretty easily be doing 94+18+other static bonuses in one powerful swing.

Thanks a lot! This is pretty much what Im looking for! Though I should mention the character is going to be Evil, we are playing Hells Vengeance.

There is no 5d6. 3d6->4d6->6d6->8d6->12d6
Your example should be using 6d6

If you exit rage with furious finish u lose a spell slot(so at least use a couple round to buff,more efficient), more over the feat wont stack with imp. and greater vital strike.I think Vital Strike with the Butchering Axe will get the executioner feel across.

I'd make it 2 handed fighter archetype/barbarian titan mauler/ living monolith myself

What spell slot? The enlarge is from abyssal bloodrage, not a spell cast. If you mean to fix fatigue..meh.
Fatigue would only be 2 rounds anyway, you'd enter rage and exit in the same round, using it to blast the target for probably 125-150 damage tbh
