As far as I know they are the correct stats.

The damage doesn't matter here. It's the starting DC rather than the
current DC that determines the roll for a lifta droppa. Current DC
determines what support the war engine gives if it is within 15cm of
close combat and whether it gets a +1 to morale rolls (if it started
with 15+ DC).

Void shields, AFAIK, don't stop a Lifta Droppa. Holofields, however,
seem to have an effect on everything so I believe they would work here
too. If you try to lifta droppa a false image of the revenant, you're
SOL.
