It would look fine if it had wheels. The tracks just make it look ridiculous.

If they made the tracks not look so stupid, or just put wheels on the dang thing it would look 100x better

It was crazy to try and copy the chimera/leman russ track style. It could be ok with tracks... just not THOSE tracks. Even with Baneblade style tracks or just exposed tracks it would have looked a lot better.

I think there was a real missed opportunity to make the Taurox and Prime open-topped by default. There was even a photo of one without the crew-cover in white dwarf, and it looked pretty cool, like an M3 halftrack.

If it was open-topped, it would be a bit more fragile, but at least it would have an actual battlefield role. A light assault APC that you can fill with shooty veterans, scions, or punchy ogryns/bulgryns.
As of now, I don't really understand the point of the thing, in comparison to the chimera.

I can see some differant roles. The Chimera's weapons make it the superior choice for infantry supression. the Taurox has weapons more suited for light armor supression at longer ranges
