Well, if you're able to point out the differences in each list in contrast to the Net:EA list, understanding the french ones would be much easier.
That might be quite a task too! The differences are extensive in some of the lists but minor in others.
I've had a good go through of the Space Marines list and noted changes I can see below. It's mostly possible to understand the list and see the differences, despite me not speaking any French, but the special rules are beyond me and I can't tell if they're the same or if there are any differences.
Librarians have a 30cm MW4+ attack as well as their FF attack
Supreme Commander is only 50
Hunter is 50pts
Vindicators have a 5+ reinforced save, are +65 and Demolisher Cannons in French are 30cm MW4+ and give MW to the unit's FF. The French version does not have walker.
Predators have 5+ reinforced armour
It's not possible to field a mixed formation of the two different types of Predators
Tactical and Devastator formations have the option to add 0-2 of the following: Predators (either type) +65, Land Raider +75
Razorback with twin heavy bolters has FF4+
Dreadnoughts are fearless
Land Speeder Tornado and Typhoon have FF4+
French Tornados cost +10 points
French Typhoons cost +25 points
Devestator shooting is 2 x AP5+/AT5+ but their FF is 4+
Terminators cost 300 with an optical +50 point upgrade to have the teleport ability
Drop Pods can carry Scouts
Thunderhawk heavy bolters on the left and right arcs are range 30cm. It costs 225 and is included in the titan/air 1/3
Landing Craft 3 x heavy bolters are range 30cm, it costs 400 and is included in the titan/air 1/3
The Warhound critical is only the original stagger (they didn't change it to also cause one extra damage like the Net-EA and Epic-UK lists did a few years ago)
Warlord Titan in French is 850
Thunderbolts may double up and add 2 additional Thunderbolts to their formation for +150
Thunderbolts have a special rule in their notes that gives them some kind of special save. I've put it through babelfish (online translator) but can't make sense of it.
Marauders are 2DC WE (crit = destroyed) aircraft, 6+ save, their fixed forward twin lascannons only have AA5+, instead of 2 x 15cm AA5+ all-round heavy bolters they have 1 x 30cm AA5+ all round heavy bolters and 1 x 30cm AA5+ heavy bolters fixed to the rear, 300 points for 2 in a formation
It's interesting to see an alternate take in the list and units! Drop Podding 5 x Scout formations into the enemy seems abusable and annoying for the opponent but Dreadnoughts having fearless makes them work taking. The French AA game seems quite different as they've abandoned the convention of having reduced ranges for many AA weapons, as well as other changes.
