Having been playing Necrons since they first got a codex and given that they are my primary army I am somewhat attached to them.
My thoughts on the FAQs:
As usual there are a a lot of 'duh moments' such as Entorpic strike vs vehicles or Dispersion shields against templates but it is good to have clarity and an FAQ to point to rather than have to try to debate it with someone.
A few of the cool stand outs were:
-Deathmarks targeting independent characters
-Mindshackle scarabs vs single models
-The ability to attach models from different royal courts to the same unit
-Quantum shielding not being removed if the penetrating hit is saved
-Veil of darkness
In terms of my strategy this means that ill be taking more mind-shackle scarabs as they can really save your bacon in CC.
Hunters from hyperspace applying to Royal court members attached to Deathmarks means that i can have a tremor staff that wounds on 2+...thats pretty mean for laying some hurt down. Also the way it now effects independent characters that are marked as the target increases their usefulness further.
Other than that most of the answers are how I read/played them anyway. The one slight nuisance is the ship coils now being applied before wargear that modifies initiative. I guess its just less reason to take wraiths.
