Hi everyone, I was just wondering if a Tau EMP grenade has any effect on a Necron Monilith.

**kirsanth**

I can find no reason they would not function normally.

**Portugal Jones**

Read the rules for the monolith. What in there makes you think that it wouldn't?

**MR24**

Ok, thanks for the help, guys! BTW, I thought maybe the "Living Metal" rule didn't allow EMP, but I guess that's a kill point for me, next game!

**kirsanth**

Living metal simply modifies what can be used/added for penetration rolls.

EMP grenades circumvent that roll.

Since im miles away from a GW and i dont have a Tau Codex, can anyone explain to me what do EMP grenades do?

**Razorspirit**

I'd be interested in that as well

You roll to hit a skimmer as normal. On a 1-3 they have no effect and on a 4-5 a glancing hit on a 6 its a penetrating hit. I believe. Essentially they are weaker Haywire Grenades.
I see no reason why they wouldn't work normally.

**Ascalam**

Yup. Haywire and EMP grenades, haywire blasters, wraithcannon and anything else that autoglances/auto pens regardless of armour value work just fine on a Monolith.
