Noting that some proposed alternatives such as the BFG ships, don't look very "monolith llike", I wondered if Dystopian Wars range might have something a bit more "chunky".

I wondered if these Myskin bombers stood up on end might be suitable alternatives?
The rounded end is also detachable so a square base could be attached if desired, though I quite like the round bit.

Perhaps with these as the obelisks...

Though I've always liked the idea of the Dark Realm Viras as a obelisk proxy, as it actually looks like something speedy rather than blocky, and still necron like.

What do people think? Other ideas?

I really like both Obelisk ideas!

Not quite as sold on the Myshkins as Monoliths, but I think that's more because the Monolith is fixed pretty firmly as pyramidesque for me.

I also like the obelisk idea, although the steam pipes should be converted to something else. Can't imagine Necrons flying with steam :)

Yes, hard to find something equivalent to that. Perhaps some of the spaceship ranges, e.g. this might be ok perhaps if stood up on large end and tweaked a little.

Those actually look very interesting. Nice find!

Do you know how long it is? It looks pretty good, but I'm thinking that it might be just a wee bit to big to represent a vehicle in epic scale, even one as oversized as monoliths.
