Necron Monolith Need Help

[feebianac]

I just played a game against 2 Necron players. They Deep struck both of the monoliths, and they wanted to use the Partical Whip. In the FAQ it says that Land speeders counts moving more than 12" when deep striking. Does this extend to the Monolith also since it deep-strikes?
Or is it no matter how far you move the monolith(12"/deep-striking) it can always fire the partical whip. Any insight to this will help me in the near future and clear this issue up.

Monolith is not a landspeeder. Thus the landspeeder rule does not apply.

But if they fire the particle whip, then they can't teleport, and they can't fire the Flux Arc

So if you deep strike a Monolith, your telling me that it can use it's Partical Whip the turn it ARRIVES?

it is a gun, and deepstriking units can fire guns turn they arrive.

Yes it can fire the particle whip the turn it arrives...however...it counts as having moved and must scatter the ordnance 2d6 picking the highest die. It could also use it's Gauss Flux Arc instead of shooting the Particle whip if it wanted...leaving the power matrix to port a Necron Unit with in 18" to itself....all on the turn it arrives....

edit...remember the Monolith does NOT count as having moved 12" when it deepstrikes...it counts as having moved 6"...it's Maximum move.

Thanks all, long games sometimes get me confused on some stuff . It's all cleared up now. Some crazy people make me crazy, then I get the rules all criss-crossed.
