Monolith

Monolith is an imposing Necron machine whose Eternity Gate acts as an exit point for units placed in reserve at the Tomb Citadel. The faction preview presents this function as one way to bring even slow Necron forces from their base of operations into a current battlefront after the vehicle has been moved into position. That establishes a logistical combat role without defining the machine’s own weapons or transport process. The source does not publish cost, production rule, armour, movement, teleport method, reserve capacity, deployment delay, valid units, abilities or interaction with the Power Matrix.

The Monolith appears within the Necron design solution for late battles whose hotspots shift faster than the faction’s ordinary movement. Alongside Tomb Pylons and Translocation Science, its Eternity Gate supplies a distinct relocation route: units reserved at the Tomb Citadel can emerge from the machine nearer the fight. This is current faction-system design, not a balance chronology or confirmation of mechanics from an earlier game. No previous version, changed Gate rule, revised weapon, altered movement, patch adjustment, version comparison or inherited statistic is documented.

The documented use is to position the Monolith so its Eternity Gate can deliver units held in reserve at the Tomb Citadel into a relevant battlefront. This helps the otherwise slow Necron army respond at distance, but the preview does not explain how the vehicle itself is relocated, how destinations are chosen or what units qualify. It also gives no capacity, queue, deployment time, escort, preferred reserve force or Matrix requirement. High-level guidance can describe the Monolith as a mobile reserve exit without inventing a transport sequence, landing tactic or combat build.
