was sat on the bus recently and was thinking about how the Taurox may be used like the chimera and lemun russ hull for non transport variants. as they loose there transport capacity and twin linked autocannon for one weapon mostly there mostly the same points cost as the standard Taurox.

Taurox Vanquisher Battle cannon
Range 48" S 7 AP 2 Type Heavy 1, Armourbane

Edit:- changed the Support veriant and added an Anti-Tank version based on Jeffar's idea. going to see what i can come up with Assault gun wise. i think the Demolisher is a bit big for the Taurox.

Maybe the mortar variant should have a single twinlinked Stormshard Mortar.

Some other ideas:

AA variant with a single twinlinked Hydra autocannon.
MLRS variant with turret from a SMWhirlwind
Tank Destroyer variant with a hull-mounted Vanquisher battle cannon
Assault Gun with hull mounted Demolisher cannon

hm i like some of those ideas but not sure the AA variant is needed as the basic Taurox comes with a twin-linked autocannon. but i defiantly like the anti-tank idea. i'll have a think and put them up later.

A twin linked AC is not AA, only landing a hit just about half the time without skyfire. The hydra AC should score at least a hit every time it engages a flyer.

Also, . e bigger guns fit a bit better in a hull mount rather than turret if you want the full on heavies. If you areusing a turret, maybe a TL Lascanon for the anti-tank

with the AT i was thinking about it using the prime turret with the battle cannon and firing AT shells. instead of HE shells.
