Taurox Primes are better then ever! | 10th Edition | Astra Militarum Tactics

[@PitFriend1]

Still annoying that Tauroxes of any stripe can’t take Heavy Stubbers or Hunter Killer Missiles like virtually every other Astra Militarum vehicle. It’s one of the annoying things that’s come from GW not giving options for anything that doesn’t come in the kit. One thing I do recommend is getting a wheels conversion for the things, either from a company like Victoria Miniatures or 3D printing. It greatly improves the appearance, making the Taurox look more like a real world MRAP. And if you have some Lascannons lying around you can take the track units and use them to make Rapier Laser Destroyers.

[@keithsimpson2685]

Looks best with tire front track rear like a half track but I krieg.

[@L35L3Y]

The tracks have grown on me, given the range of climes they have to operate in and the magnetic climbing.

[@tonyjarvis8176]

Can't wait for the rest of the scion reviews! All two of them. I'm excited for your scions deep dive too!

[@ryansoto7093]

Scions hopping out of a Taurox prime is OP on objectives

[@t3hSpAdEs]

You should run a scion list for a battle report

[@j24ish]

This I would like to see as well

[@Per_Sun]

Quite

[@adamcarey6093]

Last time i was this early damaging vehicles has to be rolled on the glancing or penetrating damage tables

[@TheTobaccoman]

I have always loved the taurox primes , they gave you a chance way back when scions were first an army of its own, glad they still are viable.

[@Stuffandstuff974]

RIP DAKKA Prime, Long live the Budget Russ.

[@berkzers]

Last time i was this early, most vehicles could be put in squads of three

[@jimmydesouza4375]

Tauroxes actually look really good when you replace the tracks with big offroad wheels. Never thought of it before.

[@rileyernst9086]

Its a grimdarkified Maxpro. Still left over from the US occupation of Afganistan. Still serving in the 41st milenia.

[@glukeFlywalker]

What I've liked in a prime is a 5 man squad of scions with a scion cc squad attached. The scion cc squad is 20 points more than a regular 5 man, brings 2-4 special weapons (depending if you take a medic/vox), sustained hits, an order, and an additional plasma pistol from the cc giving the squad a little extra punch. That's up to 6x special weapons (2x melta and 2x plasma is a must) and 2x plasma pistols out of a prime with sustained hits, reroll hits, and reroll wounds. Great at creating gaps and clearing objectives.

[@Per_Sun]

I'm a big fan of volley gun and plasma gun with command rod - doubling up on FRFSRF and Take Aim is devastating.

[@DeathKorpsCommander-sm1um]

Add a primaries psyker for focused witchfire and its devestating wounds ability. Now it has rerolls to hit and wound

[@jacobstrong9888]

Fucking love Scions.

[@zer0026]

It sounds to me the reason the Gatling cannon is the weakest option for the prime now is because everybody who wanted Gatling primes already had like 4 already since we all bought 6 of them them back when the start collecting boxes were $85 -$$95. Now that the Taurox is now $60 the only way they can push the model now is by busting the variant most of us already had the most

[@paulclifton9488]

Before the 9th codex the Taurox Prime had 20 shots on the gattling cannon, could gain exploding 6's from the regimental trait, auto wounded on 6's to hit even when moving and could gain a 5++ from a relic. The Taurox Prime is in no way shape or form 'better than ever'.

[@MordianGlory]

You make a good point! But being a force multplier is very very valuable in a scion army :)

[@operator9858]

Hmm it was already so niche to start and not sure what im going to use the battlecannon for. Think ill stick to chimeras...

[@chrisroberts313]

Loving the wheeled version 😮 ...is that a custom parts from other models job? Got 3000pts of mainly Worriors and C-fex 21/5+2 wid guns....turkey shoot 😂.... with box of shame(so far) Scythed Heiradule bitz box masterpiece 👌 dip my toe into some guard to help my sub 1k Marines army 2 dreads and 3 heavy bolter Devs and scouts...missing the 5 Speeder 2 scout tiger pattern/Ultramarine colours...(my future box of shame 😂😂😂) Any suggestions on a small guard army???

[@BloodBuffalo]

Working on my kit bash taurox now actually

[@WordoftheFree]

Can the Taurox Primes still use the Lambdan Lions regimental bonuses? Gattling Cannon with -1ap not a thing anymore?

[@MordianGlory]

Sadly not a thing anymore!

[@WhenYouGoMadd]

GW needs to buff Transport Vehicles. Astra Militarum literally can't run their infantry in Transports because they can't give their Infantry Orders, while they are inside of a Transport Vehicle.

[@BizarroBZCreations]

Attach a primaris psyker with scions and Fish those sixes for mortal wounds!!! muahahaha

[@oblivionfan345Tony]

Do you think including one Prime with one squad inside is viable? I only have about 30 Scions and a single Taurox.

[@percymacdonald6657]

What job do you want that unit to do?

[@buryitdeep]

I'd like to meet the gorm who designed that ugly vehicle.

[@dwadland]

Annoyingly I got into Scions in 8th edition and my six Primes are all built with Gatling Cannons. No WYSIWYG for me then!

[@davidthomas2870]

Ya know, I wonder if it's viable to just use these as light tanks by just having them carry a commissar? I know it sorta wastes the special rule of this unit, but it's fast and fairly cheap, cheaper than the classic Ogrin Party bus chimera and has punchy guns with strength 9 missiles and autocannons. Might be an option for a silly list

[@marcialrodriguez6285]

if you attach a character to a infantry squad... they can use this transport?

[@devilord8441]

Scion only viable?

[@CoolGuy-sv6kn]

Only if valks get a price drop

[@dudebromanguy]

Kinda but not really. Lord Solar is necessary for vehicle lists. You want your Taurox Primes to receive orders. I'm running Lord Solar, 6x Armoured Sentinels with lascannons, 2x Scout Sentinels, 3x Taurox Primes full of scions, and a bunch of chaff. So far so good.

[@matso3856]

@@dudebromanguy Sounds more like main force of Sentinel's with a detachment of Scion's ;D

[@cwj138]

Dakka is dead, long live Dakka. I like Taurox primes since I got them in 8th. I just think they're neat. Not sure what to stuff in there though, 10 and a primaris psyker? 5 and a scion hq? Scion hq and ogryn bodyguard? Is rough as it only seats 12 and oggy counts as 3.

[@Per_Sun]

Can an Ogryn climb in? Does it count as a Scion still in 10th? Would Attaches, by extension, also get the green light to climb aboard? Edit: Yes

[@redneckgopnik8164]

Thx, m8 😎

[@MijitB]

It doesn't have firepower It doesn't have durability It costs too much No reason to have them

[@MijitB]

It can't take anything off the table in one shot Anything can take it off the table in one shot A blob of scions is more cost effective

[@foxnut13]

90pts is too expensive for a transport?

[@MijitB]

I dropped it in 8th when it was over 100

[@TheSwordofTheMorning1]

Frist into the Fray

[@Per_Sun]

Fist into the Fey!

[@OR-6]

Sadly they are just as hideous to look at as always,which means I will never own one, except if I can come up with some somewhat 40k looking wheeled transport

[@TideUltra13-ex3xl]

A quick internet search results in several webstore offering conversion kits for wheels or half tracks to use with the taurox kit.

[@markdorn8873]

Take a look at Grim Prints. They have a Sd.kfz 251 with options to equip it with all the Chimera and Taurox weapons. I am picking up at least two for my Krieg Grenadier "Scions" to ride around in.

[@OR-6]

The Grim Prints Stuff didn´t really float my boat, and conversions only remind me about how ewerything about the Taurox is wring,however there is a substitute called Vargr Moblie Transport that looks pretty sweet, some kind of somewhat modern MRAP that also has subtle 40k vibes
