i was sitting at work tonight (im a cook) with nothing to do and, as they are wont to do, my thoughts drifted to 40K
this is what happened as a result

The Cutta Cook

Like the meks and docs, other orks have abilities directly in their DNA. One of these subtypes are known as the Cutta Cook.
Like Meks and machines, Cooks have enate ability to create ork food.
Much of their meat is supplied by the squigs they are excelent at breeding, and of course the occasion displeasuring grot. However, some of the meat is supplied by ork boyz who have tried to prove their gruff by slaying a large local beast, and happily give the animal, stripped of its horns, to the Cook.
Most Cooks simply set up a small stand in whatever settlement they are in, but are always willing to abbondon it at the first sign of a fight.
Some Cooks travel in small free booter groups, being hired quite often by Warbosses of all types. Cooks are notroious for boosting moral, becasue what ork isnt going to kill extra oomies if he thinks hes going to get a bite? Orks bring back the dead to a Cook and he gleefully creates horrible grog doused gore-may foods for all the boyz. As a result, most cooks and create any thing from Eldar Burgers to fried oomies.
Not only are Cooks used for a moral booster, but are beyond deadly with their blades, and can easily fight along side the most battle harderned nob. While most orks are more than okay with their blades being nothing more than blunt insterments, the Cooks are diffrent. Each blade is sharpened to a point where it can slice through the toughest armour with ease. Combined with expert abilitly to weild these weapons, any Cook makes for a foritable enemy.
It is a horrble fate to be a prinsoner of war when a Ork Cook is around, becasue most recipes say "the squirmier the better"

Specail rules: Mob rule, furious charge, Waaagh!

Wargear:
Cook's Cuttas: Each Cook weilds 2 razor sharp choppas known as the Cook's Cuttas. Due to him wileding 2, and his profincy with them, the Cook recives 2 extra attacks (shown in profile)

Fire armour: Since Cooks constantly are surrounded by their enourmous flame spitting ovens, each one has not only built up a natural resistabce to fire, but most also wear a fire suit, which keeps them from reciving th worst burns. Any template weapon that hits a Cook suffers a -1 to its strenght.

I might change the name from cook to kook. good?

What type of unit are you making him, or is he just random? I'd give him more powers and bump him up to HQ status

Wargear
Cook's Cutta- Da Cook, being known for his brutal cunning (or is it his cunning brutality?) has an extra stabby cutta he uses fer makin meals on da go- The Cook counts as having a rending weapon

I like da way dem lads taste- The Cook has preferred enemy against everything EXCEPT Necrons and vehicles. Any 6s rolled to-wound count as two wounds, as the cook has developed a taste for the target and wants some more.

Dem boyz taste arwful! I'll bash 'im inta anover cutta instead- Against Necrons, the Cook gets +1 to Str, and gets to roll 2d6 for armor penetration.

Fire Armour- The cook, being an ork, has great love for fire, and tends to enjoy being burned infintely more than the wounds caused by it. Any 1s to wound a cook using a template RECOVER a wound instead of causing a wound.

Snack's fer all!- The cook may take a full 30 grot squad at regular point cost but without costing a FOC slot. These grots ARE affected by mob rule, as the cook has gotten them to grovel at his feet for his tasties (which, unbeknowst to them, are grots that weren't so willing to obey him).

I'm aware these things are kinda dead 'ard, but I'd give him a point cost in the mid 100s... also, he should be able to take a bike as an option to take dem meals to go!
I think that would function better imho, and definetly be fun for fun games? What? Flame templete? Sure, RECOVER all my wounds. Bring it!

I'd make him a elite upgrade choice much like a Painboy (Kookboy?). It would give them fearless (good for say nobs) due to food motivation... And maybe make em better at CC by giving them Power weapons?

i think amking him an elite is the best casue i kinda figurex them as freebooters and not exactly capiable of creating and entire warband
and i rlyt like the idea of alexanders flame suit idea
im working now on making one
ima give him a lil hat and an apron
