Can a necron monolith be destroyed?

[kaztor]

On a penetration hit can a Necron monolith be destroyed even though the power matrix in the codex states that it cannot be disabled by weapon destroyed result and that the ponderous rule says that it doesn't crash even after its been immobilized?

Yes.

Any way all joking aside. Is the monolith tough? Yes.
Can it be destroyed? Yes.
How? In most cases luck.

It certainly feels that way in some games... :p Like when I had 9 las cannons all miss or fail to even glance for 2 turns straight.

Basically your misunderstanding is the weapon destroyed result. Weapon destroyed means exactly that, a weapon on the vehicle is destroyed, that's a 4 on a glancing hit or a 2 on a penetrating hit. Vehicle destroyed (what you thought weapon destroyed was) still destroys the vehicle, that's a 6 on a glancing hit or a 4 or higher on a penetrating hit. So of course it isn't disabled by a weapon destroyed, as it's just a weapon, but it is still destroyed by a vehicle destroyed result. I hope that cleared that up.

Yes it can be destroyed...rail guns my good friend

The best way to take down a Monolith is either:
1: Luck
2: A very, very, very large gun (read rail or D-cannon and a Vibro cannon is also annoying)
3: and the best one......Gauss, Necrons can take down a Monolith with their basic Troopers

Pftt. Even lascannons will make short work of it... heck, even meltaguns can just by their ap1, forget the 2d6 pen, if there is enough of them (fire dragons) it becomes easy. But you don't know half of the monolith's invincibility unless you play dark eldar... there isn't a gorram way in the whole codex to reliably get rid of it. *shakes fist at useless lances and haywire wyches*
