Everyone at my gamestore seems to be agreeing that when you overwatch flamers you get D3 shots that auto hit. I can't find the rule for this. What page number is it on? thank you.

Or that one. Those two rules confuse me, especially when overwatch says "like snap fire" and snap fire says no blast or template and wall if death lets a template snap fire...

As stated, it's a rule called Wall of Death. It is the reason Burna Boy squads are pretty much safe from being charged now.

Overwatch works on Transports?! So my 'Crons can overwatch from inside their Ghost Ark!

Units embarked on a transport can fire Overwatch out of the Fire Points. Since your Ghost Ark is Open-topped all models inside can fire as normal, so yes your Necrons can fire Overwatch from their Ghost Ark. (Page 80 very first paragraph for Overwatch, page 82 Shooting from and Open-topped Transport for the rest if anyone questions you about it.)

Note though, that you are still limited on the number of shots by the number of Fire Points on close topped vehicles. 4 fire points = 4 overwatch... etc.

Yes, but we are talking about overwatch with the obviously superior open topped vehicles

Where in the rules does it say you can overwatch from a transport when the vehicle is assaulted? This came up in a game yesterday and I couldn't fine anything about it. Thanks!
