Taurox
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 its own. The Taurox is less likely to damage itself from moving through Dangerous Terrain and is shootier.
However, it also looks retarded. This model is one of the ugliest things that Games Workshop has released since the Dreadknight or the Centurions. which at least had some elements of logical design (who the fuck thinks the Dreadknight had a logical design?). Consider taking a jeep, and ripping the wheels out to replace them with mini treads. And then make the thing as tall as a fucking tank, thanks to treads of ridiculous height. 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 sniff some petrol fumes before doing battle.
The Taurox takes it's design cues from real life MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles. These APCs are built to withstand IEDs and landmines, and to protect passengers from injury during rollovers, which are more common due to the design. Think a heavily armored Humvee upgrade that can withstand rocket strikes. The Taurox, on the other hand, seems built to kill its passengers. The aforementioned treads are horribly vulnerable to mines, and its relatively low armor rating means that heavier guns will pop the Taurox like a balloon.
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 is an assault vehicle, is a tank, and can weather 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 vehicle special rule 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.
