A Noob's Guide to Taurox the Brass Bull, Bloodbeast, The Slaughterhorn, The Brazen One. A Legendary Lord in The Silence and The Fury DLC for Total War: Warhammer II. Taurox is a rootin' tootin' minotaur with a body of brass and enough anger issues to keep a team of therapists working around the clock. He also comes with a Beastmen Mechanics rework and some new units you can learn about.

Taurox the Everchosen, wrecker of the Dark Elves.
Coincidentally both Oxyotl campaigns I’ve played ended with him dying to an ambush at Naggarond while he sieged it, courtesy of a Silent Sanctum I placed there about 30 turns earlier.
when you play ether in Vortex, the other dies very quickly
Conversely, Oxyotl dies before I can ever even reach him as Taurox.
Taurox is especially crazy once you reach the empire in Mortal Empires, with all its closely packed settlements. I managed to go from a Savage Rampage all the way through to finishing the rampage and then starting a new one in a single turn, before I eventually ran out of things to kill.
I feeled that Berserk reference.
The campaign was the best I had in years of Wh2. The true Everchosen.
*felt
Just finished my first warhammer campaign last night as Taurox, it was a lot of fun once I got the sword of khaine he became a one bull army
When Minecraft Implements brass armor + cows that can attack u
Manfred! Ahahahahahahahah, you funny bastard.
Ok hell yeah
Okay, now I *need* Cody to do a “Noob’s Guide to Mannfred” just for the spectacle of watching the man roast him for several minutes
Weirdly I actually think Manfred did nothing wrong and was completely justified in most of his actions. He has a very clear character arc.
@@codybonds hmmmm
@@vibez2806 Suspicious, I know.
@@codybonds wow, that sounds like something that definitely deserves more elaboration, perhaps through some form of guide, particularly for Noobs. A guide about Mannfred per say, done by a youtuber with an impressive mustache. I hope that happens one day.
@@codybonds Nice try, Manfred.
Taurox also gets an unique trait when he is the sole survivor of your army after a battle. He was literally designed by CA to be used as an one cow doomstack with the SoK.
I hadn't heard of this! What's the trait called? What does it give?
@@codybonds Army of One - Reqs being the lone surviving unit after defeating an army worth at least 2500 gold - Gives +10% Casualty Replenishment Rate for Lords in his army, and +5% Ward Save
The Brazen One - Do the same thing 5 times - +20% Casualty Replenishment Rate for Lords in his army, +10% Ward save
@@asdfghju4 that is awesome!
@@asdfghju4 Do you need to have a certain number of casualties or can you just start him as a one bull doomstack?
@@FrizFroz You can just use him as a doomstack, you don't need to actually field troops and suffer casulties.
Taurox quickly became one of my favorite Legendary Lords. Absolute terror on the field and his campaign is fun. I happened to come across the sword of khaine with him as well and, my lord is he strong.
Dude. Same, legendary campaign was stupid easy with him
Well, the beastmen rebalance really helped lol
First playtrhough with him, couple of turns in auto resolve told me..."crushing defeat".... yeah, for you 🤣 and i won 🤣🤣
his front roll charge decimates even high strength units, i think you can get his charge bonus 150+
What's even scarier is Morghur with the Sword of Khaine. Taurox is tougher, but Morghur with the Sword and a Banner of Madness melts infantry armies single handed with ease.
2:49 "murdering beastmen, witch covens, _Mannfred_ , ogre mercs, empire patrols, questing knights, giants, and _Mannfred_ again." laughed too hard at this part
Best part 😄
"It's funny cus the [Mannfred] gets dead." -Doug from Up, probably
Fun fact: in his final quest battle he has to fight morghur and beating morghur gives you missile resistance
meaning *technically* the final battle actually does help with his fatal lore weakness to missiles
Cody: Taurox is rage incarnate.
Skarbrand: *visible anger*
that is not impressive as skarbrands only emotion is visible anger.
Also Taurox does what Skarbrand should be and does it very well
@@TroupeMemberNerod SKARBRAND HATES TO BE MISINTERPRETED!!
Now there's a battle worthy of a proper over the top theme music driven machismo filled wrestling intro.
So... Skarbrand took ut lightly then?
Red moon? God hand? Rest in peace miura, truly you have inspired some of the best.
Warhammer Fantasy started in 1983.
Berserk started in 1988.
Guts theme starts playing
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 I think he meant Cody
I dunno, it's hard to top Forces.
@@codybonds making that pun took guts my friend, keep up the good work!
Taurox was the first time I actually had enough fun on a horde campaign to start planning my next one.
My biggest problem is its way too easy. Taurox ruins anything he fights. Its like the old days of Grimgor all over again
@@BOYVIRGO666 Fair point. It's no coincidence that he has a trait he can unlock and level up by beating entire armies by himself.
Besides the Brazen Bull of Phalaris, I think Taurox may have also taken inspiration from the Colchis Bulls of Greek mythology, specifically from Jason and the Argonauts. These were two immense bulls with bronze hooves and bronze mouths through which they breathed fire. Jason had to battle the bulls as part of his quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece.
His name prolly comes from the combination of Taurus and Aurochs (not sure if I spelled that right) which were massive bulls of Europe that were hunted to extinction awhile back. The nazis tried to breed them back into existence but did it in a dumb way which wasn’t really accurate but it lead to the Heck’s Cattle
There's also the Forest Bulls, or Ethiopian Bulls, which were immune to normal weapons, had swivelling heads, were twice the size of normal cattle, and ate flesh.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Bull
@@lachlanmckinnie1406 I’m talking strictly how the name sounds, but the sound of the Forest Bulls does sound exactly like a Khornebull don’t it? Lol
@@hellhog3252 Honestly it was probably the precursor to the Colchis bull, historically speaking. A lot of Greek mythological concepts originated in Egypt and Mesopotamia
@@lachlanmckinnie1406 Speakin way outside my pay grade but that is interesting. I know the Beastmen faction themselves are based on the Germanic tribes and how they were viewed more or less by the romans. Savage barbaric tribes that attacked without warning and dragged people back as sacrifices to their evil gods and so on n so forth idk how much the romans actually knew of em not a huge historian. But that being said anything from around that area would make sense for Taurox to be based on or around, but i wouldn’t be surprised if they took inspiration from other sources
"This is Taurox the Brass Bull and no, before you ask, I did check and unfortunately CA didn't have the decency to give him a couple of massive brass balls. However, it's of little matter the lack of masculinity when you are a raging cow of metal that can plow through the world like a wreking ball"
I will be disappointed if this is not the beginning of the video...
Are you disappointed?
Hes missing those brass orbs because FUKING TODDY made him a gelding
@@akumaking1 he mentioned brass cheeks, so only half disappointed.
Sadly, CA is not R*, so no extra attention paid to the privates of cattle.
If my and my friend did a duo campaign of skarbrand and taurox, and just ran through the entire old world, it'd be hilarious.
Legit considered one of us starting near naggarond, the other by kislev, and just seeing who gets to the bottom of their continent first
“Yes this makes him the Lu Bu of Warhammer...”
Mu Mu
Thanks I’ll be here all week.
Lmao
You'd think if he bothered to put on armour over his METAL BODY he'd figure out to maybe bolt a sheet of metal over his giant weak spot. Could have saved him from the incredibly embarrassing death at the hands of Markus
Well if it's any consolation in the lore his weakspot is actually incredibly small, I'd say even tiny. The fact that Markus Wulfhart even managed to hit that spot with an arrow was the result of miraculous marksmanship. So my point is in the lore he wouldn't feel the need to cover the weakspot or even know that its there unless I'm wrong about that.
End Times never happened.
I don't get the impression that beastman are capable of things like abstract thought, invention, basic hygiene, or not pillaging everything in sight.
@@onislayer5397 Kinda progressive of them I must say
@@vigil2150 lol soviet marksman has arrows guided by Stalin.
I love the mod who changes his head and takes out the helmet.
It makes him a true beast if living Bronze. For those interested: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2550501240
@@codybonds yay
Really makes you feel for Khazrak, who only fills the niche of “Smol Taurox on a Chariot” now.
Khazrak is the ambush king now! Cheap power armies galore.
Ah yes, the mutant cow that got killed by fuzzy Legolas in the End Times.😂
Alith Anar or Markus Wulfhart. Either one works with that description though Wulfhart less so.
@@GamerGrovyle Wulfhart. One shot from atop one of the gates of Altdorf, right through the neck. "Taurox, however, continued on, unable to know the taste of flesh, and as he massacred his way towards the East Gate, he foolishly allowed his brown patch of flesh on its throat to reveal and in that instant, an arrow was lodged deep within, the amber trail pointing to the topmost tower within East Gate, where stood Huntsmarshal Markus Wulfhart proud against the skyline. The massive creature's eyes rolled back and toppled over dead. "
@@ryanjones6384 In my opinion, THE most anti-climatic death in all of Warhammer fantasy.
@@GrandMasterNutBusterYoda I mean there's tons of those in the End Times, so it's hard to pick one.
@@SimoLInk1698 i know, i just find Taurox's the worst of them all.
Do not pursue Lu Bull!
Oxylotl:"Challenge accepted."
3:39 - Remember - Having metal skin is not default Khornes blessing. Some dude in the Warp, called Blood Prince, learned that in a hard way, when a Ork Warboss squshed is nutsack with a powerklaw :)
Ah... truly one of the few happy endings in Warhammer. Not for the Blood Prince of course...
The only beastmen chaos actually gives a crap about
No Ram Ranch here, I'm disappointed. :(
No ram ranch. *Bull Marinara.*
@@obsidironpumicia4074 But the cowboys.
@@The-Black-Death No boys or cows. Only bull men.
I did actually, by accident, get the sword of Kaine on Taurox... It's disgusting. It's like turning a god into an even more powerful god 😂🤣
It's appropriate that when the rework for beastmen finally came, it came in like a rampaging bull in a china shop. XD
I can't really afford to commit to a monthly subscription but just a little gesture for all your great content which I've watched multiple times.
Cheers mate.
Been playing him today. Made a minotaur doomstack and no AI wants to fight me other than in sieges which I win in autoresolve.
I’ve never felt so powerful and so ignorant to what’s happening on the campaign map until i played Taurox. You attack anyone you want, you get into as many wars as you want, you don’t need to finish off any enemy. 2 bray shamans, 7 gorebulls with weapon strength bonus for minotaurs that stacks, 10 minotaurs with shields. All heros with the regen item, both bray shamans with an item for winds of magic and free cygor summons. Aoe damage over time banner on 5 of the gorebulls. Sword of khaine on Taurox. I could auto resolve or manually destroy any enemy. One of the best campaigns i’ve ever had
The only group that ALMOST destroyed the army of Taurox in my campaign was Imrick and his group veteran rank 7 dragons and by the time Taurox received enough damage to kill him, Imrick and his dragon were fleeing from the battle due to the fact there was no army from his side left.
This was the first campaign that i've completed in my crusade to finish the campaign and killing High Elves because i hate them too much that i swore that i will kill them with every other faction with their own leaders.
The minotaur wasnt from the torture device, but from the minoans, hence the name minotaur... Meaning minoanbull. The Minoans appear to have worshipped Aurochs, and definitely had a strange ancient form of bullfighting too. They were the dominant force in the med until the proto greeks of mycenia took them over after a volcano buggered their trading hub (Quite possibly the origin of the Atlantean myth too)...
I wasn't expecting a Ravenous reference, but I do appreciate them.
That feeling when Cody references Berserk.
i love this channel, if i had you as a history teacher maybe i wouldnt be such a sad adult.
Surprised the 14 turn campaign victory with taurox wasnt mentioned at all in this video. But otherwise good video, i love this series.
Also, taurox and new beastmen are busted as hell lol.
Noobs guide is appropriate because Taurox is probably one of the easiest legendary campaigns. Nothing can stop the slaughter train.
The fact that anyone at all recognizes Ravenous (1999) exists is staggering to me, considering how wildly underrated that movie is.
“He collapsed utterly spent”
“The dark gods were ecstatic my pleased”
“An orderly cue outside the barn”
Is Taurix a sex symbol?
Every Jacked 80s action hero, and current marvel superhero says yes.
lol
Will there be cowbell?
an absolute unit. beat my first legendary campaign thanks to him
I love how he sucker punches Manfred
Sadly any race with arrows basically stunlocks him and constantly interrupts his attacks, don't have this issue with a infantry sized lord such as Tyrion who doesn't really get hit that much or a monster size lord like Durthu who just shrugs it off.
Otherwise cool lord.
I feel like if the trilogy of TW fantasy does well enough CA could do a step back and say the end times was one of the many possible futures of that universe without many hitches lore wise as well as enabling them to continue AoS without branding it non cannon.
Its a shame that updates to these games will eventually hit a dead end due to the source material running out of ideas.
That may be the route they go to canonize the Old World setting they're going to be releaseing soon ish mabye.
The 8 dislikes are from that list of those Taurox wrecked. Mannfred disliked twice.
I was streaming his campaign to a gf once, and she asked about his and beastmen motives and tactics
I couldn't come up with anyting more than "Kill"
Rip and tear
Nah, that's Oxyotl's job.
It's all he really needs.
@@bruuuuuuuuhhhh that one's different, he kills chaos
Eating,pillaging,absolutely devastating?
Thank you Cody Bonds. I had to come back to this video to remember where that movement reset button was
I’m glad this video helped! I felt like a noob for not noticing it until far too deep into my own campaign.
“Half the world anabolic steroids” the other half is clan moulder
Hey Judge Dredd 1995 was a good movie. Only issue. It had Stallone in it. Megacity 1 in the 1995 film was better. Also, the ABC Warrior was fucking cool!! While Judge Dredd 3D had a better Dredd and he never took his helmet off...
I caught that Sheb Wooley reference, I see you too are a man of culture.
Wiping out the the whole of Naggarond with him made me so happy. I loved destroying every Dark Elf settlement I could find
That is so cathartic given how much of a fucking struggle it is to deal with Naggarond when playing as Elves or Lizardmen.
Okay I know I'm two years too late. But if you see this comment, be honest.
How much of this was an excuse to put historical bull balls on youtube?
For those who wonder what happened to Taurox during the End Time, he was killed when Markus Wulfhart shot him in the vulnerable spot on the throat during the battle of Altdorf.
Markus Wulfhart did a Bard the Bowman feat?!
@@marloyorkrodriguez9975 it seems that way, minus the black arrow
it makes sense considering Markus is the best marksman the empire has to offer.
END NO HAPPEN
@@TauroxTheBrassBull HE'S BACK!!
How to have fun in Warhammer II,

what happened to tuarox in the end times?
Markus Wulfhart
@@codybonds oxyotl “ dude I thought I was the man to kill him!”
Markus “ too late, buddy!”
Thug life glasses 😎 for the emperor
I have been playing the game every now and then lately, and have been doing a campaign with this load of bull.
I have 4 armies, with a second Legendary Lord, Taurox has the Sword of Khaine, there are only two dark elves factions left alive and Taurox himself is invading the Donut. My elf genocide is nearly complete. And that's what matters.
Did you get Athal Lorian?
Taurox is what happens when you get fed up of your race being called shit by an entire fan base
ya he number 1# on blood donations ya it not his Blood but he make up 2/3 of world Blood donations
Taurox is like a minotaur version of that one Finnish dude during the winter war who went sicko mode on soviets while high on pervitin
No that's Markus Wulfahrt
The what
Lmao that was a well played ravenous reference, that’s a great movie
Amazing video as always, chief! I’ve been too spoiled by SFO this last year or so, I don’t even play anymore until it’s up to date; but when it is, oh boy 😂
Khonre has to be the only god that would like you *more* for murdering his emissary.
shoulda just ended the video after saying the intro and adding on " just right click "
You remember when resetting movement was a full on rite for tic tac toe yeah totally got no power creep
It really is getting out of hand. And the difference between FLC and DLC lords power is huge. Though Imrik is a beast.
@@codybonds Repanse is also surprisingly bananas, but Taurox does seem to be on a new level of borking mad
The 2021 Dredd movie wasn't a sequel but more of a remake of the Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd.
Hey Cody, if you're open to suggestions, if you ever do a noobs guide for High Queen Khalida, you should use Camel by Camel by Sandy Marton as her theme song.
If it's not flagged for UA-cam I'll look at it.
Oh lord, he mentioned the rocky mountain oysters. In the Rockies, we don't talk about those
I've heard beast men were usually left out, but with Taurox they're finally fun.
Furry, drugged up silver surfer... i found the next skaven lord
I suppose Taurox wears armour because even by uncivilised Beastman standards, brass is far from the last word in personal defence.
I've never played Totalwarhammer, but Taurox is one cool dude. I think I'll take inspiration from him for a character in a story!
Video went from 10/10 to hand in your nerd card when you called the Karl Urban Dredd the sequel to the Stallone travesty. They're standalone movies.
Best line was Manfred getting wrecked twice cause seriously screw Manfred
Beastmen being OP is not something any warhammer fan would ever say
Got to admit I never been the best man. I managed to complete all achievement and Quest battles with the help of mods before this DLC.And I'm not the best at playing Total War so I get easy battle easy campaign I didn't know he was supposed to restart his movements somehow but I never saw that button and I did his entire campaign without it and win.
"Manfred, again" is well deserved
The wargor in this video: Worse than any Minotaur
The wargor in action: I WILL FUCKING 1v1 KHOLEK!!!!!!
You pack so much dialogue and info into a 10 minute video that it makes it feel like a 30 minute video. I mean this in a good way 👍
Nice moo mesa reference, I dig.
there is only one who can pull it off markus wolfheart he is the only one who can put him down for good and in the lore he pulls off that shot to hit the bull's weak spot and kill him.
Aaaaaaand then he gets nuked by turn 30 by dark elf’s,wood elf’s or even craventail
Clan Rictus supreme yes-yes.
Just remember he died Markus, not even the end of the world could kill Markus.
oh god...i understood the "marshall of moomesa" reference...it just hit me how old i am...
Some of my jokes are so old and obscure, I put them them in just to see who else remembers them. Started feeling old injuries when it’s about it to rain yet?
@@codybonds when it's about to rain, when it's about to be cold and sometimes my knee hurts in preparation for me to leave the bed...
But only now did it hit me why i started to find kids skating on the sidewalk annoying...
this campaign dont need a noob guide lol.
"RAGE! RAGE! FUCKING RAGE!" - Taurox
Ah Taurox one of the most fun campaigns in TWW2 and what a return to form for the Beastmen... is what I would say if they had any form to return to other than being shit till this DLC dropped. Anyway while Taurox was killed in the End Times siege of Altdorf by Markus Wulfhart who then kinda walked off and wasn't heard from again, Taurox is actually mentioned in Age of Sigmar kinda of. In that setting the Beastmen, specifically the ones that worship Khorne, believe in the Brass Bull which rampages in the sky. Also random note, Skarsnik is also kind of in AoS as a referenced minor moon that circles around the Bad Moon that the Grots (copyrightable goblins) worship so thats neat.
Not even death could stop taurox. That's rather fitting
damn I didn't expect that moo mesa reference but damn thanks for reminding me of that cartoon bro
He definitely is a beauty and a beast. You will need balls of brass to face him in battle
Those poor cows! O_0
Marshall of Moo Mesa... now that's a reference I've not heard in a long time.
As far as I'm aware, we're the last two individuals on earth that remember the cartoon. Also, how's your late 30s going?
@@codybonds I am going to insist that 37 is still mid-30s until I'm at least 45.

Think about it: Your a human guard wandering with your company in the forest, you hear some movement. next moment you se 100 ANGRY, BARBARIC, BLOODTHIRSTY Minotares running in your direction! the only thing my mind come up with is "well i am fucked"
Are you telling me that nobody at games workshop or CA thought it would be a goid idea to make a RoR of bestigors or minotaurs made out of brass??
I mean, surely the almighty chaos gods would've sat down and said 'you know what would be better for destroying mankind than 1 metal bull on steroids and 1000 meat shield calfs (calves?)? 1001 metal bulls on steroids. Fantasy problems require fantasy solutions.
@@lorcand6670 I think it's a matter of producing the power to grant gifts. I imagine it takes a lot of power and energy to grant a blessing and they only give it out to those who won't immediately die after. This is why they make their champions go find magical shit they already made instead of just making new ones.
@@BallsTheDog what about forsaken? They seem to be 'blessed' en masse.
@@lorcand6670 I think they might just be throwaway mutations, something as specific as a brass body would be more effort to produce than random tentacles and claws that may or may not just kill someone instantly.

Always loved hordes, cities are for stunties and elf things!!!
I wonder if there is a special interaction with Wulfhart

High Elves: Never
