How exactly are you planning on running this list?

Worth taking into account that the Doom Scythe and Monolith aren't great (both over costed and only hitting on 4s)

Yeah those are the controversial picks in the list.

My plan is to run the infantry and artillery from the back while the monolith, tomb sentinel, and doom scythe provide distractions from around the board.

I was thinking about replacing the doom scythe with a doomsday ark for more consistency. I would like to run the monolith though - such a badass model!

Well, hopefully they fix it in the codex, because at the moment you'd be hard pressed to find many people taking it outside of friendly settings.

But yeah, dropping the Monolith and Doom Scythe would give you 601 points. That's a ridiculous amount to be tied up in two mediocre models. You could almost get 3 Doomsday Arks for the same price (609), which would be a hell of a lot more effective.

Ok thanks for the reply and suggestions!

Update: FAQ just came out.
Monolith now shoots at BS3+ (deteriorating as normal).

Still not sure if it's worth the points, but at least it's not as bad as it was?
