I assumed drop with crew, I mean how else could they be ready to
fight next turn. Yes, thats probably scary, but I figured in 40,000
they would be able to get around the problems, mostly landing.
Someone mentioned tractor beams, which is another possibity. I also
pictured it as a swift descent, followed by a relatilvy short
slowdown phase, either parachutes, or gravatics or something wierder
just before landing. (For orks I pictured large pillows on the bottem
of vehicals. :)

Other stuff: Falling things do not accumulate blast markers,

Just some thoughts
