Ok, so how many Damaged-Weapon Destroyed results do I have to score on a Monolith before it runs out of weapons (or does it even run out of weapons-since Necrons come back to life, do weapons grow back?) and the next result is either Damaged-Immobilized or, if that has already happened, Destroyed-Wreaked?

By RAW, it never loses weapons for weapon destroyed, and it gains shots, too (due to the little known rules of arithmetic dealing with subtraction and negative integers)

"...for each weapon destroyed result, subtract -1 shots from the number of shots it can fire ..." (not verbatim).

You can only destroy a monolith by wrecked or destroyed results. You can never destroy its weapons (due to its own rules).

The monolith cannot be destroyed or rendered immobilized through multiple weapon destroyed results. You simply continue to remove one from the Gauss Flux Arc roll.

Chrome has it right. Luckily for us, that's not the only occurrence of GW not understanding how to subtract a negative. Check out the rules for Morale (especially when it pertains to close combat). I'll never play Orks again.

Though I've always found it fitting that Necrons, Lords of 'Glance it to death', have only one vehicle, which is also the only vehicle which can't be glanced to death.

So true.. btw orkestra everytime I see that sig I have to laugh.... pure awesome.

As the other posters have said, the best you can hope for is to reduce the gauss flux to 0 shots (get 6 'weapon destroyed' results) but the monolith will still always have the power matrix and therefore the particle whip until it is destroyed.
