If i had a squad of three Tomb spyders and i chose to have them act seperatly, for purposes of annihilation would Each spyder count as a kill point or only one point if all three were killed?

Also, if i lose, say, some warriors and it puts me beyond phase out do i lose the game right away, or do i get the next turn to roll WBB and then calculate phase out?

The Tomb Spiders function as separate units, so will be a Kill Point each.

Phase Out is calculated at the start of the turn, not every time you take casualties.

You have no choice but to have them act seperately. They are always 3 units

Thanks, and one more thing. Does the particle whip on the Monolith use a small blast? I would have guessed it was a large.

It is Ordnance, Blast. If you look up the rules for blast ordnance it states that they are always large blast.

I dont know ordanance rules as well because i just started the Necrons and my other army is Tau. Thanks for the clarification

No worries, just letting you know where you can look it up

Just remember its only ordnance *blast* that is automatically a large blast marker - if you are just "ordnance", as is the case with Valkyries and their normal missiles, then you arent automatically a large blast.

I was just about to post a thing asking about the blast template lol so thanks.

What about when you deep strike with a monolith? I saw its a special transport so do you have to declare what units are in it or does is it just act like an exit point for your reserves?

In order to have your units exit do they follow reserve rules or can they just all come out at once?

Sorry im relatively new to the game and my friends I play against don't know much about necron rules so theres been some confusion our first couple of games =/

The Monolith isn't really a transport at all. It just functions as a portal.

You don't have to declar what units are in it, because they're not. You do have to declare which units will be entering play through it.

They exit as per the rules in the Monolith's army list entry.

Necron rules take a while to get right.

Some are written a bit oddly, and others don't mesh that well with the current ruleset, being written for 3rd edition

Don't worry about it. You'll get them down pat, and then they'll release the new codex

Also make sure you read the FAQ, as it has some important clarifications. Also that you have the second editrion of the current codex - if you bought it any time recently you will have, however to double check the easiest thing to do is look under the "monolith" rules and see if it has the "in practice, this means weapons roll unaugmented strength + D6 no matter what" line - paraphrased from memory!

Or if the Monolith's rules mention disembarking as if from 'a stationary vehicle' (first printing) or just from 'a vehicle' (second printing).
