as long as the monolith is a proper skimmer, you should be able to get away with it! (keep in mind that the monolith simply sits low on it's stand due to it's weight!)

blowing the devilfish out of the sky might seem like the easiest option, but it's alot harder in practice! like the eldar, the tau have a great range of protective vehicle upgrades that will protect their skimmers from ranged attacks...
if you have the option, take autocannons against the tau, (and skimmers in general!) two S7 shots/cannon is the best way to deal with these infuriating things. lascannons, rocket launchers and other single-shot weapons tend to be a waste because of all the wacky upgrades that will keep the devilfish afloat!

cheers!
