With the Destroyer Lord, you should keep him back for counter assault w/ scarabs. The Lightning Field says for every wound inflicted on Lord and friends (in this case scarabs) a strength 3 hit is inflicted on the attacking squad. This is great because scarabs suck.
The Chronometron, that was just to fill points. The way I read it (in army builder) is that you get an extra d6 for movement such as massacre moves.
The way you use the flayed ones is you infiltrate them behind cover.If a monolith comes in on turn 2, suck them thru on turn 3 and assault.
I thought about a res orb, and you should have one, but I couldnt fit it. With more points, you should have a lord on foot w/ SoL, res orb, and possibly VoD, but the veil kinda sux whenever I use it.

Try your army see if it works for you.

IT'S INTERESTING THAT SUCH A BORING ARMY GETS SO MUCH ATTENTION, WITH OUT ORBS YOUR OPPONENT WILL BE IN COMBAT A.S.A.P. AND THE MONOLITHS WILL HANG AROUND TILL YOU PHASE OUT WITH NOTHING TO SHOOT AT.
MONOLITHS @ $45+TAX, GLUE, PRIMER & PAINT X 3=OUCH!
I AGREE WITH THE 2 SQUADS,(NO DISRUPTER'S), BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM & ASSUME 3 MONOLITHS, (I'M GAGGING) a DESTROYER LORD (130) with ORB (40) & WARSKYTH (10) THATS 1,245 points. "I WOULD CHANGE EVEY THING ELSE," THIS IS BORING TO PLAY.
SORRY I CAN'T FINISH THIS, GOTTA GO, CIAO!

I think its original, no one ever plays with 3 monoliths. Its has potential, just gotta work with it. If we all played by the same Power gaming mold this game would be boring.
And if money is a concern, well you in the wrong game for that.
I still think you go with 3 20 man squads or 6, 10 man lord with res orb/viel and 3 liths. but thats my 2 cents. I think I may actualy try this.

You keep fireing the pistol into the tank, then the m16. Nothing happens. Not true, just look at Saving Private Ryan!!!!!! (*yes, ik it was actually the plane that killed that tank at the end*)

I PLAYED ULTRA-MARINES AGAINST 2 MONOLITHS, I WENT FIRST NEVER TOOK A SHOT AT EITHER MONOLITH, HE PHASED OUT IN 4 TURNS. HIS DOWN FALL WAS ONLY 1 ORB & 7 FLAYED ONES WHICH DID NOTHING. MONOLITHS WERE ALWAYS OUT OF RANGE OR SHOOTING INTO COVER. MY PRIORITY WAS TO SHOOT DOWN 2 SQUADS OF 10 WARRIORS AND CONTROL THE GAME. I DID TAKE THEM DOWN WITH 2 ANNIHILATORS,1 WHIRLWIND & 3 TORNADO'S. THE GAME WAS 1500 points, AND SOME ELSE I PLAYED TRIED 2 MONOLITHS @ 1500 points, SAME RESULT, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT ELSE WAS IN THAT ARMY, BUT I PLAYED NECRONS AND PHASED HIM OUT IN 6 TURNS. POINT ABOUT MONEY HAS BEEN MISSED: $ vs" FUN" PLAYING TIME. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! :

Yeah? WHats the coralation then between them? As money increases fun decreases? I dont think thats a true saying. If we missed it then perhaps you should have stated it better?

CORRELATION IS $ PAID FOR TIMES PLAYED, (ALA 3 MONOLITHS). I COULD THINK OF 20 BETTER COMBINATIONS TO PLAY FOR $200 WITH VERY LITTLE THOUGHT THAT WOULD GET MORE USE, AS COULD YOU. HAVE FUN, CIAO!

He must suck. The monolith lets you reroll WBB rolls.
What a dumb@$$, no wonder he lost.

Thats not what you said here:
your "better" is an opnion not a fact. If someone has fun with 3 monoliths then so be it, let them. It has the potential to be a hard and a playable army. If someone has fun with it, who cares what people think and how much it cost. Like i said, if your going to justify playing little plastic men and money spent on it, then again, this may not be a game for you.

I would be scared as hell to see 3 monoliths on the other side of the board. Better yet. Go all out... Give him a C'Tan and then fit as many warriors as possible with the rest. Hide them the corner for the entire game and let the 4 models destroy the opponent.

That would just be cheesy, a C'Tan and 3 monoliths. Cheesy yes, but also fun!!!

Yeah? And why would that be funny?
whats really funny is the people that have to justify everything they have to buy. Now thats comical.
