NSL Ground Forces

NSL Ground Forces

This is an army list for the main NSL ground forces. They are one of the few entirely Grav based forces.

The NSL armed forces are designed around the idea of rapid deployment of small but powerful forces. To this end, they have sold off most of their older vehicles to foreign and independent forces, allowing them to concentrate on the newest and best.

They lack the technological advancement of the NAC, but everything that they do have is good quality.

Colour Schemes

The NSL favours a two colour scheme. In the pictures shown, Games Workshop paints have been used, using Camo Green for the base and Catachan Green for the darker stripes.

The Panther III is the NSL's main heavy tank. It is fast, being equipped with a Grav drive system allowing it to traverse most types of terrain at top speed. The single mass driver cannon is more than enough to take out most enemy tanks, and the guided missile systems can be used when the mass driver can't reach.

A varient swaps one of the missile launchers for a Point Defence System.
