A Nobex, especially one with a nice new blade, is all you should need. It's probably got indents for the popular angles (45 and 22.5 degrees are all you'll probably use), plus an "anywhere" position for something "not quite normal."
Don't forget to make sure that you've got the cornice up the right way, especially if you've got upper and lowers to do. Most people underestimate the amount they need by measuring and ordering just that amount, whereas cutting mitres uses up more than the finished short length, so add at least 10% for safety.
If the cornice is to overhang the carcass, allow for that when cutting your first angle - i.e., don't mark along the angle and cut that - it'll be short. When marking, be SURE you know which is the waste side when you cut. It will only make a very small difference with a Nobex, but it will notice if you try to cheat it with filler.
I'm sure others will have more tips for you, so hang on for them. Of course, if you'd like to buy a nice new tool, don't let
me dissuade you!
