An example of a Doomsday Monolith model
A Doomsday Monolith is a super heavy device deployed by the Necrons as part of a Doomsday Phalanx, and is the Necron approximation of a super-heavy battle tank.1

History

First Encounter

A Doomsday Phalanx was first sighted during the Damnos Incident, and as there is no evidence to suggest that a Doomsday Monolith has been seen independent of such a Phalanx, it stands to reason that this was also the first time the Doomsday Monolith was encountered.1

The Doomsday Phalanx

A Doomsday Phalanx consists of at least three regular Necron Monoliths, with the Doomsday Monolith at its core. 1

The Doomsday Monolith in the 41st Millennium

A Doomsday Monolith is found at the centre of a Doomsday Phalanx, and is a heavily modified Necron Monolith protected by a unknown design of energy field. It is capable of focusing awesome destructive energies, and is more powerful than a regular Monolith.1

It otherwise functions in the same way as a regular Monolith, and is capable of using its portal to deploy Necron Warriors from reserve or from other parts of the battlefield.1

Design

Armament

A Doomsday Monolith possesses a power matrix nearly identical to that of a normal Monolith, with one difference. Instead of firing a Particle Whip, or translocating a Necron unit, the power matrix energy can be discharged in the form of a Gauss Obliterator: a stronger form of the Particle Whip which affects a larger area.1

Phase Shift Generator

A Doomsday Monolith is equipped with a Phase Shift Generator, which functions differently to the Phase Shift Generator on the Gauss Pylon. It affords the Doomsday Monolith additional protection, increasing its survivability; instead of increasing the survivability of other nearby Necrons.1

Energy Grid

Instead of firing a particle whip, or teleporting a unit, nearby Monoliths can grant the energy from their Power Matrix to the Doomsday Monolith, which is capable of focussing this power to increase the intensity of its Gauss Obliterator.1
