bizarre. looks great so far!
Thank you all 
Update time.
I´ve just about finished the head, and the tissue that´connects the head to the Rhino-chassis. Ive made it in 2 seperate pieces, and also seperate from the chassis for ease of painting.
I´ve added skin to the entire head, and also added a lot of small details - most noticeably the white plugs. These will have several uses. Some will be used for hoses which I´ll add after painting the model, which will help \"pull together\" the model, because the tubes and hoses will go to and from different parts of the models. Other plugs I´ll leave empty just for use as \"greebles\", and a few of the plug I´ll add watereffects to, making it look like they are oozing various disgusting bodily fluids.
This is how far I´ve come so far.
As always - comments advice and constructive criticism is appreciated.

looks amazing, I think itll be a hell of a mini to paint. I was just wondering what your gonna do with the big hole in the back of his head? Connect it with a giant tube?
That´s exactly what I´m gonna do with those two holes
I´m planning a tube running from the head, which is gonna go up to the defiler chassis, and be strapped in place with cables and such. Then it´ll go back downn again before going up again to the cuppola.
It´ll most likely be the very last bit of the rhino I´m gonna make because I´m planning to have it touch the ground (base) in some flaccid way, and that means I´ll have to make the base and legs first.

I´ve started on the base (just a little bit), and I´ve decided to use guards as the \"cannon-fodder\". So far I´ve abused one cadian command squad, but I´m considering going to town and getting an entire squad and just use them for mutilated bodies in the trench.
These ones are still very wip, and mostly just tacked together to see if I can get the right \"feeling\" from them.
The surviving guardsmen - making a futile attempt of stopping the tank (they will be placed to the side/behind it - up against a trenchwall):
One weakwilled guardsman succumbing to the chaotic taint of the rhino (also very wip so far). He´ll get a few more mutations, and when all done I´ll add some coloured UHU glue to simulate him puking his guts out:
I´ve also started on the legs, and allthough only the lowest part I´m still not done, as it still needs detaling/trim. I know it looks very heavy/big compared to the rhino, but that´s on purpose - the rest of the legs are gonna be much thinner. However I wanted the lower part of the legs to be heavily armored so they are better for stomping at puny guardsmen
Now I just need to learn how ta make moulds and cast stuff!
Comments and ideas are appreciated as always

Awwww, I was expecting a rhinoceros.
It\'s still kind of cool, I guess.

looks good, you can almost feel the mutation spreading and growing
Thanks
- it´s what I wanted to achieve - A sense of the mutation happening right now.I´m planning to use some coloured UHU glue after I´ve painted it to \"tie\" the 2 \"arms\" together to make it look like it´s in the process of splitting in two.
Thanks for the praise - always appreciated
Regarding colour I haven´t really decided yet. Currently I´m torn between using the same colour for the guardsmen and the tank to show that the rhino is in fact a corrupted vehicle that´s turned on it´s creators, or making them in clearly contrasting colours (dark guardsmen and a lighter rhino).
Ideas for colourschemes would be very appreciated!! (I´m not a fluff-bunny, so it wouldn´t have to be \"sanctioned\" schemes, but more what people think would like good together).
Also: all kinds of ideas - be it regarding colourscheme, modelling or small details you think would add something extra - are very appreciated - feel free to add what you think would make it cooler, and I´ll take it into consideration when working on it. The project is very much a \"work in process\", as I have no definite plan as to how it´s gonna end up so there is plenty of room to improvize if somebody have some good ideas!
I´m actually considering getting the forgeworld chaos renegade upgrade set and have 10 renegades swarm the trenches behind the rhino (and maybe have 2 or 3 riding the rhino as well
)A possibility could then be to paint the defending guardsmen very clean and then the atticking renegades with the same(ish) colours but a lot dirtier, greasier and patchier.
...but that´s just an idea I´m kicking around at the moment - I´m a bit unsure id it´s gonna end up being a bit too \"mono-chromatic\"
that\'s a great idea, to use the same colour scheme on both the renegade and loyalist guardsmen.
regarding the monochromatic nature of that plan, you might paint the trench (surrounding) in simple drab colours and the guardsmen (renegade and loyalist, though the renegades would be muddier and bloodier ofcourse) in really bright colours, making them stand out against the background
something like brown or grey for the surroundings and bright blue for the guardsmen...
