I had that happen so many times. A single marine managing to go from running to claiming a last minute objective wins games.

I'm expecting an Imperial Knights supplement dedicated to GW's loyalist apologetics. Codex: White Knights "In the grim dark future, everything is fine."
"The argument is that we have to do this or we will, bit by bit,
lose everything that we hold dear, everything that keeps the business going. Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous
deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky."

You're the Tau. You have the firepower to be more thorough than that.

God of War.
Calgar could be a stock Tactical Marine and he'd still be the best special character in the game as long as he had God of War.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

I've voluntarily played without it. It's not that big of deal in 6th. Marines are too easy to kill for it to be a big deal.

And how does Swarmlord turn Calgar into a wimpering pup by besting him tactically and not have a boardwide buffing ability like him?

In the canonized new fluff, and even then he doesn't come off so well.
Regardless, in the new fluff he's still running away from Swarmy's tactical genius.

Honestly, who thinks that fight was actually a fair contest and not Calgar sicking his Devestators on the Swarmlord then walking up and punching the already dying Swarmlord in the face and claiming it as his kill?

I have a peanut allergy. It's really inconsiderate.

THIS, a million times. 
As for USRs, I'd say...
... deepstrike/scouts/outflank.
Well used, those three rules can make or break games. Being able to position yourself to strike your opponent's softer spots is a huge advantage.

I do agree that homing would be powerful, it's just that it is on only one weapon in existance.
