-A plasma bolt is headed straight for a sergeant's chest. "Look out, sir!" a grunt yells, running up from behind. He is still definitely behind the sergeant, yet the shot disappears and the soldier bursts into a charred, gory mess.

-A few lowly guardsmen are flailing their buttstocks wildly at a vicious Necron Overlord. He scythes a several down with brutal efficiency. The guardsmen continue to whack at him with the butts of their lasguns. Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness overtakes the Necron. He leans heavily on his scythe, no longer paying attention to the maddened humans surrounding him. The guardsmen continue to batter away at him. The Overlord checks his wristwatch-- and no wonder, just look at the time! Meanwhile, one guardsman hammers at the side of the head with his lasgun. The Overlord yawns and sits down, preparing for a nice 500 year catnap, all the while the mortified guardsmen continue to flail wildly at him. Each member of that guard unit was awarded a Star of Terra for putting down the most dreaded foe in the sector. (Because A Necron wouldn't possibly have been killed by a few guardsmen swinging their guns like clubs, he obviously just got tired and elected to sit down for a while.)

-A massive Daemon Prince drops its weapons and begins to punch itself in the face. A Necron Lord keeps saying "Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?" until the DP knocks itself out cold.

A Grot gunning down anything notably valuable, be it a Terminator, a Centurion, a Daemon Prince or big bug, or a marine on a bike.

I could also imagine a grav centurion finding a lone Grot hiding somewhere, the last one on an imporrtant objective. He gets close enough to fire the grav cannon execution-style at the Grot... only for the Grot to go completely unharmed. The Marine fires even harder, still to no avail.

Actually that's probably the most plausible, this is the Ogryn that carried an entire Chimera across a battlefield to a Commissar to get him fixed up.

Now petitioning to have units pushing immobilized vehicles around as a thing. Useful for cover, I would imagine.

Under the rules it is perfectly legal for me to fire my Deathstrike missile in old Blighty and hit a game taking place in America....

This is one of the best things I've ever read. I absolutely want to try this myself one day, and a very happy day that will be.

Unit of deepstriking Immortals and Cryptek can't land on the guardsmen they were targeting... So they just splat into the ground and all die. They repair themselves in time for a later, separate battle, but then they die a second time because they couldn't find where the battle was happening (scattered off the board)

Squad levels meltaguns at Avatar of Khaine.

No effect....

Squad charges in and slaps a Melta bomb in it's face and manage to injure it.....

I'm personally glad to see a little life back in this thread.

As of R.G.'s release, the fact that he physically cannot harm an Avatar because his only CC profile has Soul Blaze. He can keep swinging and swinging and it will just laugh off the blows. (It is the Avatars that have the Soul Blaze immunity, right?)

or how about this
*SM about to start raining bullets on eldar*
one SM speaks up
"sir I can't see them"
entire unit is now unable to locate the eldars 2 feet away.

I don't get that one, the models that have LoS can still fire, just that one guy that can't see cannot.

Possibly a reference to Invis Stars?

Similarly, imagine a situation where 4/5 Marines round a corner and get obliterated by the blast from a Leman Russ. The 5th Marine, being caught in the blast but out of the tank's vision, goes unharmed. LoS with blasts doesn't quite work like that anymore, but when it did it was awfully frustrating.
