It was Ghazghkull's intention to use his Tellyporta mobs to counter the Space Marine offensives which had blighted his first campaign at Armageddon. Next month you’ll be able to collect a deadly Skink for a taste of painting little lizards ahead of digging into the chameleonic warband in Warcry: Sundered Fate

One or more units from your army can start to perform this action at the end of the Move Units step of your Movement phase if they are within 1" of a Hatchway. This action can be performed by any unit that is not within Engagement Range of any enemy models, even if that unit is being affected by a rule that would normally prevent it from performing actions. The action is completed at the end of your Movement phase if no enemy models are within 1" of that Hatchway. If there are any enemy models within 1" of that Hatchway, your opponent can attempt to prevent the action from being completed. If they do so, roll off with your opponent; each player adds the Strength characteristic of one of their models that is within 1" of that Hatchway to their respective scores. If you win, the action is completed; otherwise, the action fails. If completed, that Hatchway opens (if it was closed) or closes (if it was open). For Goffs, strategy and tactics are largely indistinct (even more than for other Orks). Anything that stands before them must be smashed, and anything less than immediately bludgeoning a challenger to death with the objects on hand is decidedly un-Orky. In this society where might makes right, the mightiest are the great Orks of the Goff klan. The biggest of the greenskin klanz, both in height and bulk, and unmatched in their savagery, the Goffs are the archetypical Ork.

As a result the Goffs are specialists in hand-to-hand combat who prefer their battles up close and personal. They are particularly fond of the Stikkbomb, because it is hurled by hand and is excellent for close combat in trenches, ruins, bunkers and ratholes. Although Ghazghkull will find a place in his plans for any of these so-called "Dread Mobs," he favours those of his own klan. Of all the Ork klanz, the Goffs are the most inspired by the thrill and thunder of battle. Goffs will take any excuse to start a brawl, even amongst themselves.

Goff whelps indulge in dangerous rituals of strength among themselves. For these contests, they don ritual bulls-head helmets with great bull's horns attached to them. Goffs believe that the viability of any plan is in the execution (namely, the execution of anyone with the foolish gall to stand before them). As such, they tend to surge across the field of war in vast, crushing waves of Boyz and Nobz, all following their Warboss.

Thanks to their bull-headed view of battlefield tactics and their love of close-quarters battle, the majority of Goff forces tend to be Sluggaboyz and 'Ard Boyz. Occasionally carried into battle on Trukks and dismounted for their final charges, but mostly content to walk wherever the fight is, these powerful infantry fighters are supported by the usual groups of Weirdboyz, Mekboyz, Runtherdz, Killa Kans, and the occasional Deff Dread. They are the Ork that comes to mind when the greenskins are discussed in the camps and war rooms of the Astra Militarum and the echoing halls of the Departmento Munitorum, and the monster with which parents all across the Imperium threaten their disobedient children. Goffs eschew the misdirection and subterfuge that certain other klanz employ, and, Gork and Mork forbid, sneaking about in the trees like a coward. This is all largely due to their ingrained notions of how things should be in WAAAGH!, namely, a full-frontal assault and tearing apart the enemy with tooth, claw, and Choppa. Having risen in prominence since then, Ugrak now leads an entire Goff warband – da Uglies. They are relentless footslogging infantry, with Boyz and Nobz in 'eavy armour -– often much scratched and worn by the rigours of close combat. Goffs particularly favour Battlewagons with deff rollas or reinforced rams –- even more so if those rams are shaped like the classic Goff horn symbol.
