To prepare your base against the Covenant onslaught, upgrade 2 of your turrets to "flame mortar", and the other 2 to "rail gun". Also, lock your 2 Rhinos down to act as additional turrets.

Once you have all 40 population reached, basically all fully upgraded marines, you are ready to begin the attack. Send all of them in one massive wave, and run back and forth, from side to side of the Scarab as its head turns. Use your rocket abilities whenever you can. As your units are destroyed by the covenant opposition, make your main waypoint at the position of the Scarab, and keep a steady flow of marines to aid in the battle. Make use of your mac blast on the Scarab whenever you can.

As the level progresses, there will come a time when there is very little of the barrier protecting your base left. This calls for desperate measure. When your base is in actual danger of being destroyed by the scarab, literally command your marines to stand in front of the blast, to draw the scarabs fire. The reason to build marines is because vehicles such as warthogs and scorpions are too big, and there are too few of them, so that the scarab immediately blows through them. Marines, on the other hand, are whittled down more slowly, but it is still difficult on Legendary.

Keep on sending salvos of rockets, and reinforcing the assault, and eventually if done right, the Scarab will fall. Good luck...
