i was playing a match against my opponent and my vindicator hadn't moved for 2-3 turns he then put his land-speeder facing my rear amour 3" away and opened fire with an assault cannon and a heavy bolter and missed with everything and one lascannon 38 inch away hit and blew it up so i was thinking that is ridiculous so i made this rule up
blank range: models shooting an enemy model within 3" gains +2 to their BS stat
then i fought well people will bend this rule in over watch and i was thinking but with that short distance they shouldn't be able to snap-fire so i came up with this rule
sudden charge: if one of your units charges within 3" of the target the target may not over watch also as not enough time was made for momentum hammer of wrath cannot be take unless the hammer of wrath was given twice (eg: a monstrous creature hasn't used its wings/jump pack/ jet pack in the movement phrase which would then give him 2 hammer of wrath special rules)
what do you think we have tried them and we tend to get less of those "that is extremely ridiculous im no genius but that should have done this due to that" moments

It sounds like a good house rule, but I am personally of the opinion that 40K has too many rules already and and very opposed to adding any to the game. Personally, situations like that just give me and my opponents something to laugh about.

i do laugh about it some times but some times it can get anoying

I once had a Reaver miss a fortification for three turns. That pissed me off.

Warhammer 40k has some of the most absurd shooting rules I've ever seen. Last I checked, you couldn't just step one foot back and become impervious to bullets.

Best just to get used to them.

What would marbo do?

That is the real issue here.

Love it... but I think 40k has enough rules
