Hey guys,

So since the release of the new Monolith model I've been looking for an excuse to play one, and now with the detachment cost going down to 1CP , and the DDAs dropping in points I've started thinking about a full Vehicle list that should be a blast both to play and play against!
Would greatly appreciate some feedback on it before investing a lot of $$ into the vehicles that I'm missing

It obviously is a more fun than competitive list, but it packs an absurd amount of firepower of all varieties (anti-horde -> Tesla/Flayers - anti-elite -> Gauss - anti-tank -> Death Rays/Doomsday) with decent targeted support via 2 Triarch stalkers for RR 1s to hit & RR 1s to wound via custom dynasty for DDAs
it currently suffers from a lack of ObSec & being tied down in melee, but that shouldn't necessarily be the end of the world as the CCBs are there to provide counter-charge support and everything shoots in combat quite decently.
I'd consider moving it all the Relentless Conquerors for full ObSec and full pre-game move, but I feel like the 3 Barges really need the -1 AP from Mephrit to do anything with their tesla (and access to the 3MW strat which sounds good on them) and having it only on the backfield arcs doesn't sound like much so I've opted to give them one wound re-roll each instead.

I'll use fall back and shoot (vehicles) and obsec for the custom dinasty. Also i noticed you use szarekhan for the monolith but remember that super heavy doesn't get the trait and doesn't unlock the stratagem.

Oh man, fall back and shoot is such a good call! I've completely missed that, it's especially great for the DDAs and their blast weapon, definitely worth considering, missing out on the 6" move that doesn't count towards the the doomsday cannon limitation might be a little harsh it's still very likely that I'd move with all 3 arcs anyway turn 1 and that would make fallback and shoot much more valuable.

And yeah I know that sadly the Monolith doesn't get anything nice , I've selected the dynasty just for flavour

Nearly a carbon copy of my tournament list posted recently, would suggest swapping mono out for void dragon, etc, but then it would literally be the same list. If you're into monolith memes, it's ok, but you won't be able to place it, let some move it on any board with 9th edition levels of terrain.
