As described in the thread
here, I thought I'd try and put some rules together.
RARE UNIT
Bull Tauren...................................................... ? points/model
- M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Bulltaur (?) 5 4 3 4 4 1 2 2 9
Hand of Hashut 5 4 3 4 4 1 2 3 9
(base size 20mm x 20mm)
Unitsize: 10+
Weapons & Armour: Hand weapon & heavy armour
Options:
- Bull Tauren may carry great weapons (+2 pts), or an additional hand weapon (+2 points).
- May carry a shield (+1 pt)
- Upgrade one Bulltaur up to a Musician for +9 points.
- Upgrade one Bulltaur to an Icon bearer for +18 points.
- Promote one Bulltaur to Hand of Hashut for +18 points.
- A unit of Bull Tauren may carry a banner worth up to 50 points.
Special Rules:
Hashut's Chosen: Magic resistance (1)
Now this is as far as I've done so far. IMO they could do with something else adding, but I'm not sure what? Perhaps something like a bull rage, or an impact hit or something? They've already got a lot of attacks, so an impact hit is a bit much really.
I'm not really happy with the name either.
I like the Idea but I have no idea bout points.

20mm? I was picturing 25mm.
As for points, pretty high... 18? Special or Rare?
They could be unrestricted rare? Or 0-1??
I don't see the need to put them on 25mm. As infantry they would be the only ones on this in my list, which doesn't seem necessary.

with 2 attacks each - you do need to but them on 25mm
essentially with 20mm bases theyd get an extra 4 attacks for a 5v5 frontage over their 25mm counterparts.
thats why nasty things like orcs and chaos and lizards get 25mm not 20mm
Id also say 25mm due to the 2 attacks

Looks pretty good, but yes the name doesn't seem to work so I'll throw an idea or two out there. Chosen of Hashut to me sounds pretty good, well thats I could come up with, yet reminiescent (sp) of the chosen of chaos unfortunately...
+1S on the charge. Bull Rage. Is that something along the lines of what ya wanted? They should also have access to the 4+AS or start off with it. (P.S. I agree with the 25mm base...)
In my list that would come under 'stone armour', which would mean they couldn't carry a shield, but would get 4+. I'm not sure on this though as although they are rare with 2 attacks, and fast for dwarfs, that is 'ard armour as well. With only one wound as a rare infantry unit it might be worth it though?
+1 strength on the charge would be S7 if they have great weapons... :0
+1 attack at base strength on charge instead would be 4 basic attacks per model (with additional hand weapon)... :0
So I think both of those are out.
An idea I've just had;
Holy Vengeance: AKA Rolling Thunder
Roaring sacred oaths to their dark god as they race after vanquished foes, the Bull Tauren pound their enemies into the dust in righteous fury..
+1 movement when pursuing broken enemy units.
