When a unit is tank shocked the rules say that you must move the models by the shortest way, in coherency 1" from the vehicle(if they pass their LD test)

My question is: For example: when a tank , tank shocks unit of infantry must I move them as stated above OR they are only allowed to be move 6"(their normal movement) and if not possible break unit coherency

Youre told they must move the shortest distance possible. That is your ONLY permissible move. You may not move a normal 6" move

Let's asume a spread out unit is tank shocked by a Monolith.
Often it will be necessary to move some models more than 6" to move out of the way and still be in coherency.
The special movement rule do not only allow, but require you to move these models more then 6" if necessary to hold coherency.

summarized:
You may never break coherency, but it is unimportent how far you move, as long it's the shortest way possible.

Ok but if I need 8"(for example) in order to move them the shortest distance am I allowed? or must i move them only 6" as it is their normal movement

Is there any FKQ about this?

See above.

You MUST move the shortest distance you can to get out of the way. This is compulsory movement, and is not restricted by your normal movement allowance.

No, there isnt a FAQ, but it isnt really needed - the rules are clear.

also remember, in the BRB section regarding tank shocking it states that if the unit passes morale (or is fearless) it only is required to move models so as to allow for the tanks final position.

example - if a rhino tank shocks a unit directly in front of it who is fearless, and travels 12", said unit would not be required to move any models.

This is how the underlined sentence should read:

example - if a rhino tank shocks a unit directly in front of it who is fearless, and travels 12", said unit can not move any models.

You are given no permission to move said models unless the tanks final position lands on top of the models in question.

Quite correct and a very good clarifcation on how the system works than I gave.

It would be quite the odd situation that requires a 8" minimum movement.

Hmm....Tank shocking with baneblades?

Then the models would probably move to the left, right, or front of the baneblade.
