Monolith - Dimensional Corridor question

[Memnarch]

It seems like the Monolith gives us some kind of reserves control, as we can get units from reserve to come through the Dimensional Corridor when we need them. Can we choose when or is it ''only'' when we roll for reserves we can choose ?
Please keep the thread devoid of comments about the Monolith being nerfed and so on

only once youve roll,ed for them ,you cant just choose to bring them through it .
and the mono is not nerfed BTW

Monolith rules say nothing about only picking units that have already been rolled for.

"Choose one friendly unengaged non-vehicle Necron unit on the battlefield or in reserve"

Sounds to me like you can pick any unit that was placed in reserve.

I re read it and indeed you are correct ,

Indeed. I like it quite a bit. Nothing like hiding a big nasty Lychguard team in reserve with the monolith. Roll for both of them, if the deepstrike happens yay! Pull the guard out. If not, walk the guard on and then pull em through the portal when the lith finally does come down. Neat trick, but don't rely on it to win you games.

it will be better in 6th when they give you control of your reserve rolls. and the monolith becomes more survivable.

Presuming the leak is accurate, yes, but I wouldn't get your (or other people's) hopes up.

That is exactly why I ask - I read it as much more controlled than the usual reserve roll of lets say Dark Eldar Web Way Portals - where, if I am not mistaking, you still have to wait for the unit to come in from reserve. The Monolith has an edge here which I like quite a bit to be honest. Just had to make sure that I am not getting it wrong. As always thanks for the input guys.
