The Tauren Marines are coming!
That's right, for all of you lore enthusiasts who like to speculate as to whether Azeroth is in the same universe as Aiur, here's your proof. The Terran confederacy, on the lookout for new recruits for the meat grinder, has stumbled upon a planet known to its inhabitants as Azeroth, and has taken a special interest in a group of anthropomorphic bovines with bizarrely well developed horticultural skills. They've managed to recruit a group of the younger, wilder bulls, creating a new corps of soldiers that have taken on the nickname of "Mad Cows."
We're incredibly excited to see what repercussions this could have not only for Starcraft, but for the World of Warcraft itself! It is likely that we'll see an in-game event or patch soon in which the Terrans land on Azeroth in order to recruit the Tauren. How will the Tauren accept a group of space-faring aliens who look suspiciously like the Humans who are usually regarded as their enemies? How will the Terrans react to the Humans themselves? Will there be any technology sharing? I'm sure many Engineers will be dying to get their hands on the schematics for their very own Vulture land mount, and the Cenarion Circle may want to compare notes with the Terrans on fighting giant bug-like creatures. Of course, those of you with the Zergling pet may want to consider hiding them for a while, lest a Firebat mistake you for an Infected Terran.

Well more than likely this won't be in the live game. BUT! I bet since Blizz took the time to make these units they will be in the level editor, just like the space marines and zerkers were in Warcraft 3.

I'm guessing this is an actual model in the game but hidden and only usable in UMS games. Much like the marine and hydralisk units in WC III.

This is impressive, but not for the reason you guys are thinking. In the "What will Blizzard do for April Fool's?" speculation thread that was up here yesterday, somebody mentioned this and tried to type something that wouldn't go through. I thought he was crazy. Guess not.

I've got no beef against milking an idea, but this one is RIDICULOUS.

If this were true I might actually give Starcraft a chance. Perhaps a cheat code? Yes please.
