There's a chart in the back of the book that tells you units, how many dice they use to move through difficult, and the effects of charging through terrain has on them and the amount of dice to use.
0000 - Rest Period - BUT YOU BETTER NOT SPEND FOUR WHOLE HOURS SLEEPING. IF YOU DO YOU ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH AND TOMORROW YOU GET THE FIRST CHANCE TO PLAY PIN THE TAU ON THE CARNIFEX.

I played against a guy on Saturday who told me that when you disembark onto difficult, each model had to roll 2d6 and pick the highest so he started doing that for each guy in the rhino. I told him thats not how it works blah blah but he was adamant so I said take a full 6 inches then to save time. If he wants to move sisters without flamers next to scarabs and not shoot the scarabs, then why should I stop him?

It's fine, people still disembark wrong.  RAW, you start in base to base with the vehicle and then move 6".  Everyone just goes out 6".

This guy said you put the model in base then rolled 2d6 and moved it, then repeated for the next model in the transport. I said you should just do one roll for the unit, and this guy wanted to argue, so i told him just to move them all 6". He played slow all game, we only finished 4 turns of a 1500 game in 2 hours and 15 minutes, and only because I kept saying things like "let's keep this moving, we're just starting turn 3 after 90 minutes and we need to get to turn 5."

Well, OK, we all know you don't roll 2d6 for each individual model.

But this has opened up a more interesting question (That I had had once, then discarded):

DO you have to roll difficult terrain when disembarking if doing so into difficult terrain?

I can think of at least a dozen games that have been won or lost by such things.

Yes, check out the disembark section in the rulebook, it specifically mentions what to do when disembarking in difficult. I'd provide a page reference but I don't have the rulebook on me.
