Hi, this is a really cool team, however I do see a big problem to your team, the lati twins really threaten almost your entire team.
To remedy this, I recommend using adamant blackglasses bisharp, with pursuit iron head sucker punch and knock off
24hp/252atk/232spd

Yes, I actually did consider adding Bisharp to this team, due to his abbility to scare away defogers, which is HUGE for this team. But the problem is,I'm not too sure who I can replace for him and I have noticed that the Lati twins are a problem for me which is an even bigger reason why Bisharp needs to be on this team.

But he survives it, and anyway accept it, since his main role is revenge killing he won't take much damage anyway so it won't matter anyway. Lando survives +3 BB without SR damage at 100%

252 Atk Sharp Beak Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 24 Def Landorus-T: 183-216 (57.3 - 67.77%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 24 Def Landorus-T: 166-196 (52 - 61.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Yeah, I guess you're right. even after SR Lando can deal with Talonflame. And there's no way I'm gonna allow a Talonflame to set up to +3-+4 on me. kek
But the problem is, I'll have to keep Landorus and full health the entire match until Talonflame is dead.
And a core of Greninja + Talonflame core can screw me over since I'm scarfed, so I'll have to make no mistakes with my predictions.
 
Damn I just realized that Aegislash and Tauros could work extremely well together, but unfortunately, it's banned. :(

DAMN YOU SMOGON YOU BAN HAPPY ASSHOLES!!!!!1111

What about Doublade? Dunno if it's written correctly, but is the pre-evolution of Aegislash. Both have the same types. I think it could work well on OU with an Eviolite. Just be aware: 35 base speed and 49 base SpDef. :( Anyway, I don't have experience with Tauros and with Doublade.

Anyway, happy New Year and good luck with your team. Looks great and gave me motivation to make a team around a NU/RU pokémon too.

Nah, Doublade lacks the power and bulk that Aegislash has. Though, if necessary, I may use him. And than again, it also fits well with the team since I'm using a lesser tier mon.
 
Just a few suggestions to help Tauros shine:
Conkeldurr looks like a really big threat to your team. You might want to try something like Skarmory or Mandibuzz to deal with it. Also Magnezone can trap the Steel Types that give Tauros trouble.

This and Bisharp can help beat Gengar lacking Focus Blast so Tauros doesn't have to risk the speed tie.

Conkeldurr? Oh, and I suppose LO Latias is sitting there doing nothing.

Generic EV-

252 SpA Life Orb Latias Psyshock vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Conkeldurr: 315-374 (89.7 - 106.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO after 1 layer of Spikes

Sometimes used:

252 SpA Life Orb Latias Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Conkeldurr: 315-374 (76 - 90.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO after 3 layers of Spikes

Rare EV spread:

252 SpA Life Orb Latias Psyshock vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Conkeldurr: 250-296 (71 - 84%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO after 3 layers of Spikes

U don't need Skarm, but the remaining two members are Klefki and Latias so I reccomend Bisharp>Skarmory, or Tyranitar>Skarmory. I've been using Ttar Mega so Far with Ddance, Fire Blast/EQ, Stone Edge, Crunch with a great degree of success, since your team struggles with STALL and i have discovered this Ttar is a very good stallbreaker. Oh can you rate my RMT The Big Boss is Back!

Nah scrap the team we made before, this seems like it can work much better. Only major weakness is probably Azumarill. Maybe something like Breloom, Celebie, Jirachi can fix that problem.
 
Well, your team hates M-Sableye, but what doesn't.
M-Lop is the only thing I can think of, but you said you were against it.
