Monolith

This model can move and fire Heavy weapons without suffering the penalty to its hit rolls.

During deployment, you can set up an Monolith in the upper atmosphere instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases the Monolith can plummet to the battlefield - set it up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 12" away from any enemy models.

When an enemy unit (other than a MONSTER or VEHICLE) finishes a charge move within 1" of this model, its portal of exile may activate. Roll a D6 and compare it to the Value required on the damage table above. If the roll is successful, the charging unit suffers D6 mortal wounds.

When you set up this model, at the same time you can also set up any number of INFANTRY units on their tomb world rather than setting them up on the battlefield. Before the Monolith moves in each of your Movement phases, a single friendly unit that was set up on their tomb world can be transported onto the battlefield by the Monolith. Set up the unit so that it is wholly within 3" of this model and more than 1" from any enemy models; the unit that has just been set up counts as having disembarked from a transport for all rules purposes. If all friendly Night Scythes and Monoliths from your army are destroyed, any friendly units still on their tomb world are considered to be slain.

Distance and ranges are always measured to and from this model's hull, even though it has a base.
