Has Games Workshop's latest Warhammer FAQ materially changed how Fanatics will be used?

- Night Goblin Fanatics have extra restrictions but will it lead to significant changes to Orc and Goblin armies for Warhammer The Old World. Here are my thoughts on the matter
Definitely a good move in the right direction.
I’m perfectly cool with this my army already met and was playing all the things that they put in the FAQ. And I very much dislike MSU and skew lists.
A change in the right direction, but possibly a missed opportunity to get the fanatics to more the right level. Would have liked to see them address at least some of the following:
Not being able to shoot them (you should)
The O&G player still getting to move them in the direction of their choice even if opposing units have already passed through them (feels wrong - either they should do their first move immediately or if they're charged through their move should then be random)
How points are scored for them (I would go for the opposing player getting the points for the fanatics as soon as they're released)
Where they sit in the army list (core for unit, special for fanatics perhaps)
Even failing any of that I think it would have been great if there were rules for what happens when their host unit is reduced by say missile fire or whatever - would be a lot of fun if they were automatically released (probably in the O&G player's chosen direction) when the thresholds for having however many were passed.
Will be interesting to see how the possibility of them not moving plays out - less damage but potentially more of a pain in the backside and sometimes for both players?
It is pretty harsh that they can die on release so not sure.. Overall i like the 6th Ed rules more though. Give me those back if anything.
Fanatics are still broken/OP, especially whilst people are still using them incorrectly (they just pop out of the first unit they hit, and not move the full roll on the dice. People are killing far more with them than they are allowed to 🤷🤦)
Eh?
people just need to build a more well rounded list not focused on low model count my fanatics do next to nothing against mobile armies or armies that dont rely on 5 man units of knights lol
