That's actually canon, I think. Taurox fought everyone, everywhere, all the time, until he fought so hard he got a heart attack. Then, since Khorne liked his guts, he got revived with a metal body, so that he's immune to heart attacks.

Taurox is such a monster of a character. I remember one fight against elves that should've been a defeat. Lost everyone, but Taurox against a full stack and somehow he won by himself.

[@manuelramospetruchena4620]

That was fantastic. Beautiful. A beefy campaign with a heroic end. Alas.. I have to highlight two things. 1. You were lucky messing up with Nurgle. Imagine what mad cow disease could have done to your army. The gods were on your side. 2. You missed a HUGE opportunity. Michael Johnson? Juan? Uncle Bernard? THEY WERE ALL MEANT TO BE COWBOYS!! Had they been Buffalo Bill, Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, this would've been perfect. Weirdest cow level from Diablo 2, but for sure fun. Cheers Zerk!

[@TheMightyNaryar]

Full Minobus is the only proper way to play Taurox. Or well, it's always very strong as any beastmen faction(though for the other LL's you might just get a doombull instead for your full cow stack instead), but the other lords have other shenanigans that might make your endgame different (Morghur for the monster/spawn doomstacks or lord only doomstack, Khazrak for the full vanguard infantry/chariot ambush strike force, etc.), but more importantly it is fun. I never get tired of minotaurs rolling through infantry blobs.

[@Monochromatic_Spider]

Khazrak is usually always a wargor spam stack for me. Having a whole bunch of single entity chariots is so much fun. Not really optimal for dueling single entities, but infantry just melts and it's not like cavalry has the stats to really deal with that many single entities either.
