Taurox

This page is needs images. Help plz.

The Taurox is a vehicle used by the Imperial Guard serving as a low cost APC. By comparison to the other Dedicated Transport available to the Imperial Guard - the Chimera - the Taurox is less armored (AV 11 on the front instead of 12), is not an Assault vehicle, and can carry less than a Chimera (capacity 10 instead of 12). However, it has several advantages of it's own. The Taurox is less likely to damage itself from moving through Dangerous Terrain and is shootier.

Patterns

There are two variants of the Taurox. The Taurox and the Stormtrooper exclusive Taurox Prime.

Taurox

This is available to the regular guard. A vehicle that looks a lot like an ork truck and is basically a big Metal Box on top of four smaller Metal Boxes. The Taurox and the Chimera are both the same type of unit (a dedicated Transport) and are used by Imperial Guard squads. The Taurox has a twin-linked Autocannon while the Chimera has an assault ramp, is a tank, and can whether slightly more hits. This means that the Chimera is better for melee guard since it's less likely to get destroyed as it rushes towards the enemy and the assault ramp means that your Guardsmen are going to be the ones charging. The Taurox is much better for supporting a shooty Imperial Guard army since a twin-linked Autocannon will deal more damage than a Multilaser will and will do so at less of a cost then a Chimera.

Taurox Prime

This is only available to the Stormtroopers. It's basically a version of the Taurox with a Hot-shot volley gun in place of the Autocannons (points can be paid to swap back to the Autocannon) and a Taurox Battle Cannon. The Battle Cannon on the Taurox is a mini version of the Battle Cannon on the Leman Russ; being 48" S7 AP4 Heavy 1, Blast as opposed to the Leman Russ 72" S8 AP3 Ordnance 1, Large Blast. It can be further swapped for a Taurox Gatling Cannon (another mini version of a present weapon, this one having half the shots of a Punisher Gatling Cannon and being Strength 4) or a Taurox Missile Launcher which is basically a Missile Launcher that fires twice. In addition, it's manned by Stormtroopers instead of the regular Guard so it has BS 4 instead of 3 and is a Fast vehicle.
