The vanilla Taurox is available as a dedicated transport for regular Imperial Guard units. This vehicle looks a lot like an Ork [[Trukk]] and is basically a big [[Metal Boxes|Metal Box]] on top of four smaller [[Metal Boxes]]. Compared to a [[Chimera Transport|Chimera]], the Taurox is faster and has somewhat more firepower and range with its twin-linked [[Autocannon]]. Meanwhile the Chimera is slightly tougher, it can carry 2 more passengers, it can take upgrades from the Vehicle Equipment List, and it is an Amphibious vehicle (not that the latter really makes much difference in 8th/9th). This means that the Chimera is slightly better for short ranged Guard since it's less likely to get destroyed as it rushes towards the enemy, while the Taurox is better for supporting a shooty Guard army since a twin-linked [[Autocannon]] will ''probably'' deal more damage than a [[C.S. Goto|Multilaser]]/[[Heavy Bolter]] combo, especially at ranges over 36". If the Taurox is able to use its speed and firepower to support its squad while keeping the enemy safely at arm's length, that's probably where it's happiest.

Alternative take: These are excellent little vehicles for melta-vets to spring out of. The vehicle's 14" move lets them get just that little bit closer than they might otherwise have been able to, which ''hopefully'' leaves them in a better position to get within prime melta range (assuming the vehicle isn't shot out from under them before they can deploy).

In terms of the model kit itself, there are two ways to mount the autocannons of a Taurox: either on the sides, or on a turret. However, any git with a lick of common sense will have them in the turret. Not just because the concept of shooting past the passenger doors is stupid (though it is), but because the idea of having fixed weapon mounts on a vehicle is ''fucking retarded''. Who in their right mind would choose having fixed guns that can neither elevate nor depress, nor traverse left or right, when you could have a full 360 degree arc of fire? Spoiler: Literally no one.

Like most Imperial Guard vehicles the Taurox and its sister variant, the Taurox Prime, can be equipped with either a pintle-mounted Storm Bolter or a Heavy Stubber. At only 2 points for either option, there's really no reason not to take one.
