That plastic venator!!! Ahhh yes! 
my solo resin one is excited to have a friend on the field again!!!

[Tokugawa]

Any chance for release of 4-wheels version?

[Marshal Rohr]

If I was a betting man, I’d bet money when the Guard codex drops for 10th if the Catachan rework rumors were true this will be part of the codex boxed with a twin lascannon, Grenade launcher, and heavy Bolter crew sprue. 

[Robbienw]

Very cool, just needs to also come with a Elysian crew and weapon options!

 

Really hope they do the normal Tauros at some point.

[MoriyaSchism]

Quite pleased with how it looks. Can't wait to see 3rd party conversion kits for this. Hopefully Tiny Legends does something.

[Verevolf]

A better ATV!

[Orion]

I prefer the original, but this could be a good template to work with. Styrene sheets, tubes etc.

Still be a fair bit of work.

[Xirix]

Typo in the thread title, Enforced. :P I really quite like this, I may have to pick one up to make some kind of Space Marine Warthog.

I like this - makes me want to dig out the Enforcers that are still on sprue since I got Dark Uprising four years ago 

[Agramar_The_Luna_Wolf]

I love it! Time to dusting  my enforcers band!

[Beaky Brigade]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one 

[Nova-V]

This looks wonderful, even without rules I'll be getting one as a dune buggy for my desert theme regiment.  Hopefully it'll be in the Guard codex but I won't hold my breath.

If guard get a version when their dex drops, it will have the original turret option, as well as at least one HK Missile (if not the two rocket tubes of the original). Those are the only real differences I see?

 

The headlights are slightly different, there's an Aquilla on the original's front faring, and the panels over the rear wheels have U-bars... And of course the pilot and gunner are different. But that's all I can see.

 

And again, even if I liked resin (and I don't), it should never be more expensive than plastic, and by virtue of being a Forge World product, the original would be.

[Master Commander Ajax]

I liked this kit back when Forge World still made it. Very happy to se it come to plastic. Looks like a good base for some conversion work.

[Hfran Morkai]

Given the way it's talked about in the article regarding Armament "out of the box," mention of Elysians and the "Enforcer Inspired Armour" seriously makes me think AM will get access to them. I guess the biggest concern would he how similar it would sound to the "Taurox".

 

I hope they do because I'd love my main (still purely hypothetical) force mounted in Chimeras, a couple of these and  Taurox (with wheel conversion) with some form of infantry squad as a mechanised Recon element backed up by Valkyrie borne Kasrkin.

[Frogian]

Oh this is getting Ork'd - might have to start an enforcers gang too though

[Cyrox]

I love this, and I loved the original FW Tauros and Tauros Venator. I do think we will see this released for Guard too, hopefully with plastic Elysians!

 

If not, I've still got a goodie bag of Elysian las-rifles and some bits

[Warden-Paints]

This is confirmed to be plastic right?

Indeed it is

Absolutely loved the original model. This new plastic iteration is very fine as well - however it seems some proportions were altered, the vehicle seems more "squished" (especially in length), there's also less depth in the wheel structure and there's a lot more roundness to the chassis - where the original had a lot of very appealing militaristic angularity (check out the front hood's arching plates, for example, or the rollcage itself).

Makes the model look a bit more of a civilian joyrider / dune buggy than the original "LRRD" Taurox and it takes away from the final result a small bit. Still very happy with it.

[ThePenitentOne]

Now that you mention it, yeah, the front fender is rounded at the back rather than angled and it does sit closer to the tire. I didn't notice that in my first pass- it's more subtle than the headlights, the Aquilla and the rocket tubes I mentioned above, but you're right, there is a difference there.

 

The roll cage looks pretty much Identical to me.

 

As for length, I think that's down to the photos we have available. I'll be curious to hear from someone who ends up owning both versions.

[SpaceDwalin]

Hey GW, please just go ahead an re-boot Dark Future! The Ash Wastes vehicles rock and totally look the part.

Even if you do it at Warhammer scale and as a side game of Necromunda, I'll buy it!
