Not bad the only thing That I dont agree with that THE DOOM OF MALAN‟TAI, can affect units in a Vehicle. yeah in the ruling right after that allows the Embarked passengers a 4+ cover save against. Ive just always played them as being off the table so can i start dropping orbital bombardments from a razor back if it doesn't move that turn.

Other than that its a pretty good FAQ... Also apparently the biggest Obstacle for Raverners are stairs.

By all means, drop the orbital strike from inside a rhino. Just not a razorback.

The difference here is that the doom's essence leach is not a shooting attack. It is a static ability. Much like a caluxus assassin's abiltiy to make nearby troops Ld 7.

Or a Land Raider... Yeah, sometimes when you're trying to be consistent, common sense takes it in the face.

Which I get. Psychic Hoods also affect units in transports. But a cover save? Surprising.

There are some good explanations of the changes here:

So i guess this essence leach ability shouldnt work against Necrons, who are machines, Nor should it work against thousand sons as they are just dust within their armor.

I mean if u can add the stupid rule of it affecting troops in transports, why cant u make the above immune to it cause it makes sense.

Nids are defintely my next army, and to think I thought the space wolf codex was ridiculous.
