I wasn't for sure where to ask this but this looked the most promising. I was wondering if it was legit for me to use a SM Rhino in my army. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Only if you use it with vehicle design rules. You can't get one for IG. In a way so that your normal guardsman can get in one is impossible.
Only Inquisition and Marines can have Rhinos

Why would you want to?  ?? The Chimera is much better. |

The Rhino costs half of a Chimera an has 2 more exits. That alone is reason enough for many people to want to use a Rhino instead of a Chimera

But the Chimera has far more firepower. Come on, a storm bolter against the forces of Darkness? That's like taking on a tiger with a feather duster. Give me a multi laser any day...
And as to taking a Rhino, that's something you'd have to check with your opponent but provided it's a house game I can see no problems with it. There have been more unlikely allies.
Out of interest, is this a regular SM Rhino just stuck into an IG army, or a rhino painted up in IG colours etc?

This Rhino would be for my armies fluff. It would be made up into an IG vehicle to function as a mobile command post. I would paint it up in my armies scheme and add some extra helmets to the side and such.
Thanks for the help.

I think I've seen a picture of a IG player using rhinos but I cant remember where or why... how about converting a rhino into a chimera by adding a multilaser and blocking off the side doors? ~EDIT~ gt.us.games-workshop.com/2007/chicago_coverage/40k_armies/default.htm ~/EDIT~ row number 11 on the left side has an IG army with rhinos and some other weird stuff check out row 14 also on the left for another IG army with Empire WFB conversion! |

Might try that, I just need the vehicle itself for fluff reasons, don't really need the characteristics.

you'd also need to add some armor to the front and weaken the armor on the sides...maybe cover up them doors with extra fuel tanks?

I have a bunch of extra flamer tanks, so I'm sure a little piping and some green stuff and I should be able to pull it off. As for the frontal armor, I have plenty of old 1:35 german tank parts, so that shouldn't be a problem.

It looks like those Rhinos have Inquisition markings though, so my guess is that they're reserved for Inquisitorial allies. Still, I'm all for using the Rhino for friendly games. It's an Imperial APC, so the ImperiUM should be able to use it! |

I personally like the shape of the rhino more than the shape of the chimera.

you can take inquisitorial storm troopers from the codwx deamon hunters (and maybe the witch huntecodex, I don't know for sure) they can have rhinos!

very strange thread rhino's are bunkum dont do it, 2 extra exits straight into being shot to crud with no cover, and even a hvy bolter can take one on, waste of points and more importantly real time money, back with RT rhino was the only choice for IG and it sucked then as well.

but they are cheaper! And if you are looking for a transport that doesn't have to last long but enough to bring some troops in cover you might get here the perfect deal! But the thing was if I remember it right that he didn't care about the stat line because it was for fluffy reasons. And hey! what's better then that?  zumbaz |

Yeah I just got one for fluff reasons, it really won't be an integral part of the match.

well if your army is based on arbites then why not? the arbites already use rhinos. base your army on them make it look like the sobs repressor
btw all these gw links are useless now that they have changed the website
