Hey

Ive just been painting some Goff Nobz and feel I am in need of inspiration. Anyone have any good closeups of wellpainted epic Nobz, warbosses and the like, of any era?

Cheers,
Parzval

You did say "any era" so here it is.

Painted in the early 90's & inspired by the classic Goff style.

Thanks, those are excellent!

Very much similar to what I was going for. I can see you took time to paint their teeth, which of course is a key ork feature.    I was hesitant at first, but I guess Ill have to try doing the same.

I raised an eyebrow at this thread title, but thankfully it turned out to be innocent

 Must have been a freudian thing

Those came out great!

Very solid looking Goffs.  I like the traditional colors & how you painted the banners.

Thanks! Goffs are fun to paint. The basic black scheme make them fairly quick and easy to paint. Started putting some paint on an old Gargant to go with the infantry aswell. I paint titans/gargants painfully slowly, but with a simpler colour scheme this one might actually be finished in something like a reasonable timeframe.

This one will be decorated with checkered patterns like on the nobz, and some of those glyphs I used on the banners. BTW I am using the old transfers from 2ed days, but I paint over them and add some highlighting to the glyphs after theyve dried.
