==Legion Tactics==

The Nova Legion aim to maximize the effects of their plasma weaponry. All others arms of an Astartes legion are used but only when they can allow the Nova Legion to unleash plasma bolts and explosions. Assault Marines will stop the enemy's advance, giving time for Tactical squads, armed with plasma rifles, and Devastator units, with plasma cannons, to find the most advantageous position to fire. Once the ranged units are in place, the Assault squads will retreat and let the barrage of fire annihilate the enemy.

This over-reliance on plasma weapons can put the legion in precarious situations, especially when they have to deal alone with an enemy with a important number of strong, relentless melees units. For once the defensive wall of assault units is broken, the only recourse of the Legion are its armored special Predators. Most of the time those are enough to save the day, but in the rare cases they are not, the Nova Legion are forced into a tactical retreat that can be costly to them.

They however excel in situations where they assist other forces, providing their devastating firepower to their allies, letting them focus on distracting the enemy forces.

Ranks of slow and armored heavy infantry forces stand no chances against the Nova Legion, their penetrative firepower nullifying the advantage the enemy could gain from armor and cover.
