My gaming group use a house rule for line of sight.
If a unit is in front of something which is bigger, it doesn't block
the line of sight of the bigger thing.
If a unit is in front of something which is smaller, it does block
the line of sight of the smaller thing.
For example, a Devastator squad which is in front of a Land Raider
won't block its line of sight, but a Land Raider in front of Predator
will block it...

I don't think this is right, I don't know any official rule about
this.
As there is a W40k player in my group, we decided to do this but it's
only a house rule.
