<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Best ways to nuke a monolith!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Best ways to nuke a monolith!
Assuming the worst case scenario(such as monolith phalanx, etc), what is the best way to take down a 'lith for the various races?

For space marines I'd suggest vindicators or standard land raiders. Both high strength weapons making penetrating hits easier!

Would like to see what options the other races have, so fire away!

DH! Strength 10 and 2d6 for pen! (I think you get 2d6 on monolith with dem big creatures, just not with ordanance and melta)
Also, blasting it with Psycannons work, I know it's just praying for 6's, but taking out a monolith is worth the risk!

Daemons could use Bolt of Tzeentch

Necrons could use OTHER Monoliths

Hammerhand from Grey Knights could work.

Ajar Rockfist (the dude with the s10 AP1 throwing hammer) could hit it with his hammer (Space Wolves)

Really unreliable, but EMP grenades (and the Eldar Variant) can pen on a 6.

Anyone with rending and alot of attacks could work.

IIRC, Eldar have a squad that is supposed to negate Living Metal.

Space Marines could use orbital Bombardment

Guard could use Marbo

Daemons could use Breath of chaos to glance it to death.

BA blood lance can only glance a monolith. since the monolith is immune to the lance effect. but BA can do lascannon spam pretty well. they also have access to S9 fists/hammers and the psychic power that boosts a libby to S10

eldar are able to pop them fairly easy with warlocks and wraithguard. S9 hits from the warlocks and the wraithcannons pen monoliths on a 5+]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312470.page GMT Re:Best ways to nuke a monolith!

You dont get more than 1D6 against monos, Ordinance works because it's not extra dice, you just choose the highest of the two.
S10 is plenty though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312485.page GMT Best ways to nuke a monolith! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312532.page GMT Re:Best ways to nuke a monolith! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312700.page GMT Best ways to nuke a monolith! pks.

Yeah this topic comes up every couple of weeks the answer is anything str9-10 works best, especially if you get to roll extra dice/reroll dice (MC's in CC, ordnance etc)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312899.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3312899.page GMT Best ways to nuke a monolith!

Can't really glance it to death seeing as weapon destroyed results only reduce its shots by one. What does Marbo have that could take it down?

STR 10 is a huge help. A LC penetrates it 1/6 of the time. A vindicator does so 1/3 of the time. That's twice the chances of killing the 'lith

Either way, your chances are piss poor. That's why people tell you go to for the phase out. The amount of shots you need to pump into one 'lith to destory it will generally cause a phase out of the entire army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3313975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396516/3313975.page GMT Best ways to nuke a monolith!

Two, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA KILL? MONOLITH? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Three, its not that hard, and i find Vindis to be the best. Also if your really having trouble, remind your opponent of the FAQ and then use your sternguards to rapid fire his C'tan to death. That'll get him pissed enough to make mistakes.
