Yep D6+5.

The standard rules for armor penetration are Strength + D6. Any rule that adds a further D6 to this equation is most certainly "additional" whether the word 'additional' is actually included in the rule or not is irrelevant.

True.....but codex trumps rule book correct? Tau codex says that farsight rolls 2d6+5 for armor pen. So Farsight using the dawn blade standard armor pen roll is 2d6+5 not 1d6 + extra d6 + 5.

IMO shoot the monolith with rail guns str 10 FTW

Codex trumps rulebook when they disagree, they are not disagreeing. Regardless, the necron codex quoted above states you only ever roll 1 d6, no matter what.

He gets 1d6 + 5, not 2d6.
