El Tauros es un vehículo ligero, todo terreno, utilizado en muchos Mundos Fronterizos. Su robusta construcción cuenta con ejes

The Tauros is a light, sturdily built, all-terrain utility and tractor vehicle used on many Frontier Worlds. Its rugged drive axles are individually powered by high-yield galvanic motors that allow the vehicle to maintain its speed even when some of its wheels may be damaged or destroyed. The Tauros and many similar vehicles have also been used by Imperial exploration teams and sometimes by brigands, marauders, and rebel factions. The Tauros is even used as a light attack and reconnaissance vehicle by the Elysian Drop Troops regiments of the Imperial Guard. The Elysian Drop Troops have modified the Tauros for airborne operations, stripping off any unneeded weight so that it can be carried into battle by their Valkyrie Sky Talons. The Tauros comes in two standard variants: the four-wheeled Tauros Rapid Assault Vehicle which serves as a long-range scout vehicle, mounting potent anti-personnel firepower in the form of either a Heavy Flamer or Tauros Grenade Launcher, and the six-wheeled and more heavily armed and armoured Tauros Venator.

Tauros Venator

The Elysian regiments often deploy Tauros Venators in support of their infantry, where the punch of a Lascannon or Multi-Laser is often a welcome asset against heavy armour. They are also used in long-range scouting missions, as well as behind enemy lines where they are capable of operating for extended periods without resupply due to their galvanic systems. These vehicles are also used to carry extra supplies for the ground infantry, such as weapon power-packs, food, and water. This allows squadrons to operate for extended periods without re-supply.

Armamento

The four-wheeled Tauros Assault Vehicle is used as a light scout and reconnaissance vehicle and it can be armed with either a Heavy Flamer or the powerful Tauros Grenade Launcher. The Tauros Grenade Launcher can use either anti-infantry Frag Grenades or anti-vehicle Krak Grenades.

The Tauros Venator variant is armed with a Twin-linked Multi-Laser for anti-infantry work or a Twin-linked Lascannon for anti-vehicle duty.

Both variants can both be equipped with camouflage-netting and extra armour plating for enhanced crew protection, a Hunter-Killer Missile Launcher for added firepower, a searchlight, a homing beacon, and smoke launchers. The Venator variant is also capable of carrying 2 Hunter-Killer Missile Launchers in addition to its standard armament.
