Mentor Legion and the Imperial Guard; How to field both together (Noob question)

I want to build an Imperial Guard army with Mentor Legion Space Marines in its midst.

The Lexicanum says this about the Mentor Legion:
Quote:
 
There are two ways Imperial commanders use them (Mentors) on the battlefield when they are loaned to them. First, the cadre element may simply be used as a powerful squad, gaining the benefits of their special equipment. Alternatively, they may become leaders for other units. The latter is preferred by Imperial Guard commanders as the Elite Cadre make especially good leaders for units of normal warriors.

Are there any official rules governing this? If so, where are they? If not, how come???

As a corollary, do any of you have (or know of) custom rules that would cover this army composition.

The best place to look for list combining Marines and Guard is in the Forge World Imperial Armour books. The list in the 9th book (Badab War part 1) has a great list that has guard as the main elements with marines as strike elements.

as mentioned look up IA, othwerwise no real "official" way of doing it, unless you play friendly games and mix/match.
You could however include straken as a HQ choice yet instead do up a suitably veteran space marine, they have similar stats and all.
