Small Scale Military Headquarters

here's the first troopers from the 1er RPIMa (régiment d'infantrie de marine-1st marine paratrooper regiment)

the 1er RPIMa is a special forces group, it's the true heir of the SAS French Squadron from WWII. It's motto is the same as its British counterpart : "qui ose gagne" (Who dares wins).

These elite troopers of the French Army form RAPAS (recherche aéroportées et actions spéciales, Airborne Serach and Special actions) detachment, several specialisties are availabe : counter terror, combat diving, bodyguard, sharpshooter, HALO jumpers, jungle or mountain...
As their glorious ancestors, they even have a PATSAS speciality (3rd Company) which refers to SAS patrols on jeeps (as in the North African desert during WW2)

here's the two 1st troopers specialzed in counter terror :

Portier (Doorman) : is a breacher/lead element


Fonceur is team team leader

Very nice...PTE rocks Too bad other lines aren't as articulate as those suckers...

Very nice set of customs!! the holsters look great and the vests look better in these pics

I knew it wouldn't take you long to get Mj's FA Mas! I have already added the small M-4 sight and trigger to one of mine and plan to add an M203 to another one ready for some French customs.

Great use of PTE figs!

i've been thinking modding the famas a little bit myself
