Just to correct, it affects enemy models, not units, and the enemy models must have LOS to the portal.

Which will open the entire can of worms about whether a walker with its back to the portal would have LOS to the portal!

True, so a good counter tactic is to just face away from the monolith on your own turn.
But of course for walkers this exposes your rear armour to the particle whip and 1 or 2 gauss flux arcs!
