Area of Effect while embarked?

I can't find an Area of Effect rule in the book....would Abaddon's Warlord Trait, or any model's area of effect stuff, work while embarked? That is, would/could it be measured from the vehicle's hull if the model's special rules didn't specify that it doesn't?

I thought that at least used to be a thing, not sure about in 7th though.

Thanks!

Did you try the Embarking rules?

The rules to this are pretty inconsistent.
Some just stop working, some only effect the vehicle and some retain their aura.

What is the default though? IIRC, the examples that affect only the vehicle have been FAQ'd as such.

There is no default that is why it is inconsistent.
You could even argue that they do not work at all as you can't measure from the model.
