If an IC and unit are in a rhino together that has moved, the unit can disembark separately from the IC, but would they not still be considered within the 2" of unit coherency since you would be measuring to the hull of the vehicle for purposes of measuring to the embarked IC?

So the only time you could keep a IC in a transport while the unit disembarks would be if the transport did not move in the movement phase, correct?

RaW, you are correct.

However, there is not a single person who plays like that.

As above - in the same way people dont normally stop the IC from standing next to a vehicle (a unit they cannot join) or a unit of always one model like a Wraithlord.

The reason I bring this up is a Sang Priest extending his bubble by measuring from the hull of the vehicle he remains in while the unit he was previously attached to assaults, Land Raider size base to measure bubble of FnP and FC.

Well, as I said, no-one plays it like this.

Extending the Bubble is perfectly fine, and is well covered in the rules. The rules also explicitly say the unit can Disembark while the IC remains embarked.

It does say they can disembark, but the also says that they must be farther then 2" from the IC if they want to seperate.

If the IC were to stay in the vehicle the distance to the IC would then be measured from the hull which they could not get if the transport moved.

Also it specifically says that the IC cannot join or leave a unit in the movement or assault phases.

Yea, when I use my Rune Priest in a LRR, his Storm Caller and Tempest Wrath are measured from the hull thus getting the extra distance.
