* Lots and lots of ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' fluff characters get scenes like this. Most notably, perhaps, [[Gaunt's Ghosts|Gaunt]] et al.

** This can actually happen in a way in the actual game. Say you have a Chaos Predator declare Tank Shock on a squad of Veteran Guardsmen. They pass the morale check, then have the guy with the meltagun step in front of the speeding tank, and take a shot at it. If the shot hits, the tank slows to a halt in front of the heroic soldier. If the shot ''misses'', though, what you have is affectionately known as "hamburger with a meltagun".

* In ''[[BattleTech]]'' when the [[Proud Warrior Race|Clans]] invaded, on the planet of Twycross, a single mechwarrior defended a huge chasm from the entire army of invaders. Of course, it helped that the entire canyon was rigged with explosives so that when his mech was destroyed, [[Rocks Fall Everybody Dies|the whole thing collapsed and buried everybody.]]
