The Taurox is slightly less robust than the [[Chimera]] APC, but this is made up for with its speed thanks to its 'Castellan' quad-tracks. The Taurox’s mobility is so reliable that Imperial Guard commanders often choose to bring them on long campaigns that range across multiple war fronts. Whether their regiment ends up fighting inside a [[hive]], jungles, or open plain. the Taurox will perform its duty. The Taurox’s capacity to punch through seemingly impossible terrain also makes it an ideal counterattack asset. Imperial Guard commanders will often hold back squads of heavy infantry in Taurox APCs, throwing them in to halt enemy assaults before the foe can build momentum.{{Fn|2}}
The [[Imperial]] [[Knight House]] [[House Griffith|Griffith]], is also known employ the Taurox as part of their [[Knight Household Guard|Household Guard]]'s armaments.{{Fn|3}}
===Taurox Prime===
The '''Taurox Prime''' is a more heavily armed infantry assault version of the Taurox used by [[Tempestus Scions]]. The Taurox Prime is used as an ideal shock weapon, moving through seemingly impossible terrain and smashing into enemy strongholds to launch lightning strikes. Due to the complexities of their missions the Taurox Prime can be armed with a variety of heavy weapons including a [[Taurox Battle Cannon]], twin-linked [[Taurox Gatling Cannon]]s, [[Hotshot Volley Gun]]s, and [[Autocannon]]s, or a [[Taurox Missile Launcher]].{{Fn|1}}
===Taurox Munitorum===
The [[Departmento Munitorum]] employs a lighter variation of the Taurox, which is built for traveling through the streets of cities. This model has [[armaglass]] cab windows and uses [[tyre]]s rather than tracks. It is also used by the [[Astra Militarum]].{{Fn|4}}
