The Iron Chef
A List by Kent McClure

Okay, so things were somewhat slow over the weekend and I didn't have anything to do. So here's a list based on the show Iron Chef with the appropriate commentary. Please don't laugh too hard. This would be another one that I would create using HO figures from a model railroad layout. I would probably based them as if they were 25's, although the thought of them going up against my Red Matian army is hard to imagine.

HoTT in the Kitchen - a List based on the show Iron Chef This is a television series that originated on Fuji TV and has since been picked up to run on the Food Network. The premise of the show is quite simple. A challenger (usually a well-known chef in Japan) comes into "Kitchen Stadium" and challenges one of the 4 host chefs (known as the Iron Chefs) to a one on one cooking contest. The real twist to this contest is that you only have one hour to prepare as many dishes as you can and the theme ingredient is not known to you before hand. It is revealed to participants by the MC, Chairman Kaga (who created this show), in a very showy manner just before the contest begins. During the show there is a running commentary from the commentator, Hattori Yukio, special guest panelist and the sideline reporter, Ota Shinichiro. At the end of the hour, the dishes are present before a panel of judges who sample all of the challenger's dishes first and then all of the Iron Chef's dishes. They then make their decision, which Chairman Kaga reveals, with suitable fanfare, at the end of the show. So, here goes the HoTT list:

1 x The Iron Chefs as Hero Generals @ 4AP (Iron Chefs French, Chinese and Japanese all in a line at the front of the stand with Iron Chef Italian off to one corner.)
1 x Chairman Kaga as God @ 4AP (Well, he is the creator of the show and it's his money)
3 x Experienced Kitchen Staff as Warband @ 2AP (They are dashing about their business, fulfilling the Iron Chef's instructions)
3 x Lesser Experienced Kitchen Staff as Hordes @ 1AP (Not everyone on the staff is a seasoned veteran)
1 x Judges as Blades @ 2AP (Looking at the usual makeup of this group we have a professional food critic, a member of Japan's Lower House, actors/actresses, musicians, etc. The more socially elite. They can uses their words to cut down any cook to size in a matter of seconds)
1 x Hattori and the panel of guest commentators as Shooters @ 2AP (They fling their comments down as sharp barbs either to attack or defend at a distance. Sounds like shooters to me. Their comments aren't powerful enough to be considered artillery)
1 x Food Reporter Ota Shinichiro as a Lurker @ 1AP (Well, he scurrying about the Kitchen Stadium floor with his camera man and microphone, poking his nose into everything, trying to get a jump on the dishes, etc. Sounds like a lurker. Or a pest)
1 x Live Ingredients as Beasts @ 2AP (Some of the more belligerent critters have been pike eel, lobsters, huge crabs, etc)
