From where do you remove casualties caused by a Vector Strike? I would assume it would still be starting with the closest model, but is it from the point at which the attacking model flies over the target unit or do you take models from the closest point after the attacking model is done moving?

FAQs are your friend:

BRB FAQ wrote:Page 43 – Special Rules, Vector Strike.
Change the second paragraph to read “When Swooping, this
model may savage its prey. At the end of the Movement Phase,
nominate one unengaged enemy unit the model has moved
over that turn. This unit may even be an enemy Flyer. That unit
takes D3+1 hits, resolved at the model’s unmodified Strength
and AP3, using Random Allocation. Against vehicles, these hits
are resolved against the target’s side armour. No cover saves are
allowed against these hits.”

I underlined the important bit.

Thanks. I thought I had read that somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. When I couldn't find it in the rule book, I assumed I was mixing up some rules.
