I didn`t get an answer if the primarchs are involved, so i am going to assume that the answer is yes.

I agree that intelligence, stealth, diversion, sabotage and misdirection are better that sheer savage tactics or a head on collision. So we have all the Legions on a single planet, trying to kill eachother, primarchs included. There is a multitude of details to be considered such as terrain, weather, weapons, base of operations etc.. So many infact that i am not going to spent two hours describing them because i am sure you are all smart enought to consider them.

Because it would be unfair to place certain legions in certain conditions, like a jungle for the raven guard or mountains with defendable positions for other legions, i am going to assume that said planet is one giant, level tundra with no mounains or unequal terrain, just short grass everywhere and no extreme weather conditions. Thats as fair and equal as it can get, now what is each legion gonna do.

For starters, the overuse of psychic abilities is gonna give the Sons of Magnus a major brain burn, and therefore cannot be used for a long duration. I do agree that they can do major damage in a short skirmish.

The legion that exels in hit n run tactics is gonna have the advantage, against legions that do not have enought numbers to surround them. There is a way around that, however. The Legion i see winning this is one that can keep the enemy at bay and avoid major, and costly, collisions. And at the same time be able to use mele combat as a preffered tactic, that legion would be the White Scars.
