Goffs - History: Toughness, meanness, and savagery are the traits most valued among the Ork klanz. Indeed, an Ork only needs to be big, tough, and ambitious enough to seize power to rise through the ranks.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.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.Their size, savagery, and ambition make them natural leaders among the Orks, and among their ranks the Goffs count some of the most infamous and brutal Ork Warbosses in history.Brutes of great renown, including the legendary Prophet of the Great WAAAGH!, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, have worn the black and white livery of the Goff klan, and most of the successful smaller Ork warbands in the galaxy are led by these ill-tempered bullies. Goffs are also stiff and humourless in the extreme, which puts them at odds with many of their more easy-going greenskin brethren.Perhaps their defining characteristic, aside from their generally bad attitudes, is the Goffs' sheer size. Goffs are longer of arm and broader across the shoulder than nearly any other Ork.With their reach and their immense strength and endurance, they can out-swing, out-punch, and outlast all but the toughest foes, such as the battle-brothers of the Adeptus Astartes, making them powerful and incredibly capable brawlers and melee fighters.Cross-grained and much given to casual brutality, Goffs are always spoiling for a fight. When not directly engaged with their enemies, they fall to fighting amongst themselves or antagonising other Ork klanz. In battle, they rely mainly on infantry, and prefer an up-close and personal fighting style.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.As such, huge, snarling mobs are the calling card of the Goff klan, and their armies tend to be larger and more homogeneous than those of other klanz. While they make decent battlefield strategists, their tactics lack any kind of subtlety, and begin and end largely with the time-honoured "screaming charge directly into the enemy guns" manoeuvre.Their preferred weapons for this kind of action are the ubiquitous Slugga, often with some kind of bayonet or other melee attachment, and the heaviest, choppiest, wickedest Choppas they can carry. Goffs also love a good explosion, and typically carry about their persons a clutch of Stikkbomz for lobbing into trenches and clearing out bunkers and pillboxes.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.Goff Nobz frequently don Mega-Armour, as they see it as the best way to get right in the middle of the fighting to dispense some violence on their enemies. The Goffs also boast the greatest numbers of Nobz and Stormboyz amongst any of the greenskin klanz.This is because the Goffs are the most militaristic of all the Orks. All Orks love to wage war, and wage war as a way of life, but of the Goffs it can truly be said that they live only for battle.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.They then charge each other in the manner of raging bulls, colliding with a loud crack as the horned headgear makes contact. The whelps continue to headbutt each other until one has had enough, or until they've headbutted each other to death.
