Edit: As the pdf shows, they're famous for wearing blue, I seem to recall.

Dark blue, black and white. They look much the same today as in yesteryear except they've switched camels and jezzails for GPS, dirt bikes and assault rifles.

These figures are excellent! I'm very fond of this period and as you maybe aware there was a female legionaire that fought in the FFL. The only problem is I should have bought the book when I'd the chance. :cry:

Well done to Richard Ansell for the excellent designs. He seems are very busy designer at the moment working for a few well known companies.

"Self-propelled-gun Girl"? That IS pretty cool, indeed! Although you´ll admit that "Tank Girl" has a somewhat snappier sound to it! :lol: ;)
