Like title said i have 2 noob questions about 2 specific situations that came up last week end.

#1 Can a dreadnought deepstriking (via drop pod or whatever) assault the same turn he land?
We think that since its a machine it should but we found nothing specific so we ruled that it could not.

#2 About nids implant attack and instant death.
Lets say tyrant bob charge at force commander joe and somehow manage to inflict 4 wounds, 2 of wich were on a roll of 6 to wound. So if force commander Joe fail to save against any of these 2 specific wounds he goes back to momy with all his zillion hp right?

Typically anything with implant attack also bypasses armor on a roll of 6 (or just always). I suppose if there were an invulnerable save yes, if he makes saves against the 2 that rolled 6s he's survive for the moment.

Also, no assaulting after deep-striking unless something explicitly says it can assault after deep-striking (as far as I'm aware the only thing like this is CSM daemons).

Also, You make da call is where stuff like this goes.

1.) Walkers (Dreadnoughts by extension) are considered to be infantry during the assault phase (as it's specifically said to "assault like infantry"), just exceptionally big infantry which uses vehicle armour values instead of wounds. They cannot assault after deepstriking unless they have a special rule saying otherwise.

2.) Yes, if any of those wounds that you got on a 6 are unsaved, the guy dies a horrible and painful death regardless of the other 3 wounds. The only exception to this is if the guy has the Adamantium Mantle or Eternal Warrior (both of which override the Instant Death rule).
