As mentioned before a simple statement along the lines of:
Chimera availability
The IG player may choose to replace all rhinos mentioned in formation compositions for chimeras with no change in formation cost. Those whom choose this method can also ignore formations based on the rhino hull (predator, whirlwinds, vindicators).
I think this is enough.

I think it would be better if it is worded the other way round, i.e. the basic formations are Chimera based, but the guard player has the option of regressing back to Rhinos. Something along the lines of:
Heresy Era Vehicles
If the player wishes, he may replace all chimeras in a company structure (that company, 5 support and special formations) with Rhinos at no change in cost. If the player does this then he may take Rhino variant support and special formations as part of that companies structure. The player may then also take also take any other company formations which contain Rhinos variants.
So basically, that company has a predisposition for operating with rhino type vehicles and gives a bit of a theme to it, plus if you want to get your hands on the predator and vindicator companies, then you need to take some rhinos in the first place. You could do it without the last bit, just thought it added a bit of fluff to the army building aspect.
