But if the one unit was completely wiped out, then the ones that stand up on the first WBB roll from that unit join the nearby unit that's providing the necron within 6" they need to qualify for WBB. It would seem that the ones you'd like to have stand back up get to teleport through the monolith to get a second chance, and because they have to join the unit that was closest, either they have to move closer to the unit providing the 'pattern', or the other unit that was next to them will teleport with them through the monolith, making one very large squad. This can get particularly troublesome, movement wise, with the addition of a tomb spyder. Where you can have models standing up, and joining a unit 6 feet away.
There are a few threads about this in YMDC I believe, but the reason you can't do it the way you're thinking is that until the units actually get UP from WBB, they are not a part of any unit except the one they were initially in. If that unit is 100% downed, your opponent has received a kill point and you no longer have 2 units of 10 warriors but now 1 unit of 17 warriors (or however many get up). But the original unit is gone and the downed warriors are not part of the second unit granting the WBB thus they don't get a second WBB roll because their unit is not being ported.

I don't think necrons are a "bad" army if you're fielding 3 monoliths. Most armies have an "uber build" and... 3 monoliths would be the default necron one.
However... Bright/dark lances ftw...

It is a battle report, just not what we were expecting of you, with the whole 'hype' with the Dash does Necrons over in tactics and you building a list for competitive uses and then ...'this' is the first impression we have of it.
So, I think the reaction of some posters here is expected if a tiny bit pointed. Though I do like this new title.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

I much prefer the new title.
Whilst I'm not untoward this being called a battle report, which it very clearly is, I had some issues about the whole 'beating face' thing. If you make a claim such as that you really need to be absoloutely watertight on your rulings, which this report very obviously wasn't.
It goes without saying that you (Dash) get a *lot* of flak for portraying yourself (whether intended or otherwise) as a hardcore WAAC player, and I guess I expect a certain amount of humility from people, regardless as to what their previous achievements are.
I believe people got a bit annoyed with the language you use and, if I remeber correctly, you fell into pretty much the same caveat regarding your 'Store Champion' idea at a Not-so-FLGS. Digging up the past aside, I think you do need to be a bit more selective in the descriptions you use; it may just help alleviate some of the anti-Dash e-drama.
Just my £0.02, for what its worth. Besides that I don't have much more to contribute to the discussion. I see Necrons so very, very rarely that I cannot make any concrete claims on how ther rules work.

It's funny how it started out as a battle report, turned into a flame/hatefest against Dash, turned into a rules discussion and is now about the color of troops.

Oh, c'mon. Its FUNNY!
I'm writing an article titled, "A Day in the Life of a 40k Champion."
Here's an excerpt:
----------------------------------------------------
1130-1230: Exercise!
One of the key things that separates us pro-players from the masses of regular players is that we're ready to adapt to any situation. I've got these flash cards - every one has a picture of a unit from one of the armies in 40k on it. My trainer will shuffle up all the cards, and pull one out while shouting out an army. Then I have five seconds to assess the tools that the army I use out of that list has and how I would deal with the unit. If you want to be a pro at 40k, you have to keep your mental acuity up. For every bad answer, a chapter of Dan Abnett's horror-book Titanicus gets added to my homework to read later. Just thinking about those titans firing their turbolasers makes me want to recoil in abject horror. TURBOLASERS! Being forced to read that canon-stomping garbage is powerful motivation to answer well.
