Monolith
From Lexicanum
The Monolith is a fearsome unit available to the Necrons. It is a huge vehicle, armed and armoured to the teeth. It combines the properties of transport craft, armoured destroyer and Necron power icon, although it ponderously moves across the battlefield. It has a large crystal at its centre which pulses with unholy life, powering mighty Gauss Flux Arcs, whipping out to destroy everything in its path. It can open a dark portal and transport Necron troops to the front line after landing close to the enemy troops.
It is armed with Gauss Flux Arcs and a Power Matrix, which allows it to either transport units or discharge as a Particle Whip. It is made of their living metal, allowing it to shrug off weapons fire that would normally destroy any other armour. This has led to several complaints about the 'over-poweredness' of the Monolith, although Necron players refute this by pointing out that its high point cost affects the number of Necron troops available and so the number needed to destroy before phase out occurs.
