My Foreign Legion company for In Her Majesty's Name

After what seems like a very long time, I finally managed to finish off my French Foreign Legion company for In Her Majesty's Name. This is a special investigations group - the GES (Groupe des Enquetes Speciales) whose role is to keep an eye on the more wacky things that the enemies of France may be plotting. This means that they are not only there to spy on and sabotage the Germans and English, but also those groups like the Company of Pharaonic Revivalists who threaten the world order through their secret agendas. 

The company is made up of Artizan figures from the 'March or Die' range and these figures are full of character as you would expect in Mike Owen sculpts. I've converted a couple of figures in order to make them more Victorian Sci-Fi.

The characters of the company, Sergeant Eclair, Professor Prune, Commandant Fromage and Sergeant Grognard. The Professor graduated from the Sorbonne with three doctorates. Grognard has been known to give people sore bones that three doctors are unable to fix.

Three veteran Legionnaires to support the Commandant and Professor in their missions. "Ah Pierre, quelle merde we are in again."

3 Tirailleurs Algeriens, seconded to the GES because of their unique investigative talents.*
*said talents may include rough and ruthless handling of enemies

The stats are as follows:

	Pluck	FV	SV	Speed	Cost	Talents	Equipment
Commandant Fromage	2+	+2	+3	+1	69	Leadership +2, Inspirational, Erudite Wit, Duellist (with pistol), fearless	Lined coat, Automatic pistol (treat as carbine), Magneto Static projection barrier
Professor Prune	4+	+1	+1	+0	20	Engineer	Arc pistol, Brigandine
Sgt Eclair	4+	+2	+2	+0	18		arc rifle, lined coat,
Sgt Grognard	3+	+3	+2	+1	49	Tough, Bayonet Drill, fearless, Leadership +1	Military rifle and bayonet, lined coat
Legionnaire	4+	+2	+2	+1	24	Bayonet drill	Military rifle and bayonet, lined coat
Tirailleurs Algeriens	4+	+3	+1	+1	25	Bayonet drill	Military rifle and bayonet, lined coat

I haven't created any options for the company yet. The four characters plus 2 Legionnaires and three Tirailleurs comes to 279 points. Hopefully I'll be able to take them out into the field soon.

Apologies for the shocking schoolboy French and the number of characters named after things that are edible. To be fair, Eclair is named after lightning, not the yummy desert, and Professor Prune is a translation of Professor Plum from the Cluedo game. But Fromage is a just a cheesy name for the Commandant.
