We investigate the dynamical stability of warped, axially symmetric compactifications in anomaly free 6D gauged supergravity. The solutions have conical defects, which we source by 3-branes placed on orbifold fixed points, and a smooth limit to the classic sphere-monopole compactification. Like for the sphere, the extra fields that are generically required by anomaly freedom are especially relevant for stability. With positive tension branes only, there is a strict stability criterion (identical to the sphere case) on the charges present under the monopole background. Thus brane world models with positive tensions can be embedded into anomaly free theories in only a few ways. Meanwhile, surprisingly, in the presence of a negative tension brane the stability criteria can be relaxed. We also describe in detail the geometries induced by negative tension codimension two branes.
