	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.

	Alternatively, just find a 1/35 Tamiya halftrack (M3 or Hanomag, depending on your preference) and stick the twin-lined autocannons on it. That way it differentiates itself from the actual Chimeras in your army, and is relatively low-profile in comparison to the actual Taurox itself.

	A ''third'' option, and the one you'll probably end up going for if you play at GW stores that frown upon 3rd-party models and kitbashes that are significantly departed from the shape of the original model (important for TLOS; the Chimera is lower, longer, and wider than the Taurox), is to simply not use those idiotic track pods and put some big ol' wheels on it. Several kits exist to convert the Taurox to something more visually palatable (see above); vendors of which include [[Victoria Miniatures]], Zinge Industries, and [[Blood and Skulls Industry]] over on Ebay, the latter of which also makes kits for half-track, 8x8, and 6x6 configurations. Hell, if you happen to like the armored suspension that the vehicle came with (it does kinda appeal in its own way, doesn't it?), it can be fitted to just about any 27mm wheels you can get a hold of without much pain.

	A ''fourth'' option is to use a Genestealer Cults [[Goliath Truck]], which has the benefit of identical stats, wargear, and transport capacity for a perfect WYSIWYG [[count as]] match.

	Much like every other retarded new model, GW has a habit of coming up with rules that makes you feel like you pretty much have to buy the damn things no matter how shit the models are. Well there is another way - We all want twin linked auto cannons so just convert them on to your chimera. Same for the prime, just find appropriate guns for the turret and that'll do it. No retarded box on boxes, just sweet looking chimeras with some heavy firepower.

	The Taurox takes its design cues from real life [[Wikipedia:MRAP\|MRAP]] (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles. MRAPs are tall wheeled vehicles built to withstand IEDs and landmines, and to protect passengers from injury during rollovers. Think a heavily armored Humvee upgrade that can withstand rocket strikes. Unfortunately, instead of a sensible wheeled arrangement the Taurox uses those small individual tread units. These would, ironically, be horribly vulnerable to damage from landmines, they'd do little to nothing to enhance mobility, and they would and add an unnecessary degree of mechanical complexity. Indeed, in contrast to the MRAP the Taurox seems designed to kill, not protect, its passengers. It also shares a coincidental look with the GSD LuWa, a proposed replacement for the German military’s [[Wiesel TOW\|Wiesel tankettes]] for airborne troops.

	Much like every other retarded new model, GW has a habit of coming up with rules that makes you feel like you pretty much have to buy the damn things no matter how shit the models are. Well there is another way - We all want twin linked auto cannons so just convert them on to your chimera. Same for the prime, just find appropriate guns for the turret and that'll do it. No retarded box on boxes, just sweet looking chimeras with some heavy firepower.

	The '''Taurox''' is a vehicle used by the [[Imperial Guard]] in the role of an APC. In comparison to the other Dedicated Transport available to the Imperial Guard, the [[Chimera Transport\|Chimera]], the Taurox is not quite as durable (T6 vs the Chimera's T7), and it doesn't carry quite as many passengers. However, the Taurox is faster and also shootier (arguably).		The '''Taurox''' is a vehicle used by the [[Imperial Guard]] in the role of an APC.

	Unfortunately, it also looks retarded, a bit like [[Ork]]s [[loot]]ed an IG vehicle and then the Guard looted it right back. This model is one of the ugliest things that Games Workshop has released since the Dreadknight or the Centurions. Consider taking a jeep or a [[Wikipedia:Sd.Kfz. 251\|Hanomag]], and ripping the wheels out to replace them with mini treads which appear to have been based on the [[Wikipedia:Tucker Sno-Cat\|Tucker Sno-Cat]], except with stupidity in place of awesome all-terrain capability. Once you've done that, the next step is to make the thing as tall as a fucking tank, thanks to those same treads being ridiculously tall. The Taurox takes the METAL BAWKSES to their retarded extreme. It also has exhaust pipes going straight into the crew compartment, so your soldiers can [[Savlar Chem Dogs\| sniff some petrol fumes before doing battle]]~~, but the pipes are underneath the compartment floor though~~. To top things off your troops can then get killed as they disembark due to the side-mounted guns ''which shoot past the doors'' ~~so they are then limited to rear hatch exit~~. Sensible people simply assemble the model with the weaponry mounted in the turret instead.

	The Taurox takes its design cues from real life [[Wikipedia:MRAP\|MRAP]] (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles. MRAPs are tall wheeled vehicles built to withstand IEDs and landmines, and to protect passengers from injury during rollovers. Think a heavily armored Humvee upgrade that can withstand rocket strikes. Unfortunately, instead of a sensible wheeled arrangement the Taurox uses those small individual tread units. These would, ironically, be horribly vulnerable to damage from landmines, they'd do little to nothing to enhance mobility, and they would and add an unnecessary degree of mechanical complexity. Indeed, in contrast to the MRAP the Taurox seems designed to kill, not protect, its passengers. It also shares a coincidental look with the GSD LuWa, a proposed replacement for the German military’s [[Wiesel TOW\|Wiesel tankettes]] for airborne troops.
