… or Phillippe Couillard, our very own villain character and Québec’s current Prime Minister;
Man... now that you mention it, it does look like him!
Maybe he's holding the famous Plan Nord spread sheet...

As ever, we're hysterical not historical, so use the lovely generic SMG.

I honestly think you should re-write your game around a SMG-Assault Rifle-SLR split :-)

Well, I think 'not having assault rifles' limits the utility of the rules outside of the Sterling SMG + L1a1 SLR era of Classic UNIT

More recent Dr. Who where all the UNIT dudes have G36c carbines frex



Or more recent James Bond movies like, say, Goldeneye

Btw does this help working out the last character?.....



.....at least, that's my guess anyway!

That was my immediate thought when I saw the piccie. :)

Superb figures ;D

The model is a dead ringer for this character, except the face. The face is great, a good character, but I didn't recognise it as XXX. I think it is saying something, even in 28mm, that these miniatures are otherwise instantly recognisable as the exact characters.

First time I saw the set I was thinking of Miranda Frost or Electra King. The head and hairstyle seems quite good for the latter.

Fear not. Attacks for SLR and assault rifles are in other profiles (Army Privates all have SLR for example), but not in the profile for the Faithful Lackey that this model is suggested for.

But the grunts never hit anything anyway.
SMG, SLR, assault rifle, harpoon gun, flamethrower.... they all miss.

Even more so when you are playing the game :~}

Funny that notwithstanding the very blonde hair, the excellent female spy figure now looks like XXX in the face too. Great paintwork and great models!
