Cheers, I'll give that a go and see how it goes!

I have had this happen a couple of times and I feel your pain! You may be able to reduce the the visibility of the frosting by brushing with Lahmia Medium. It is not a perfect cure but it might be enough to rescue the piece.

Thanks for the report and nice to see the Gallowdark terrain repurposed for 11th terrain shapes. Hope the heat has died down a bit now.

It is funny, I travel for work quite a bit, but I never think to check out game stores. I would be great if I did to look for the odd mini/out of print item. Hope you find something in Orlando. I was just in Orlando in March, and just spent my time at the Epic resort. No gaming! Nice rules about interaction, I find it interesting. The LGS mostly ignores you, unless they are stocking. I like that as I usually know what I am looking for. The GW store says Hi, and is there anything you are looking for. They try hard not to let the regulars overwhelm the conversation. I appreciate that when I go in. The hard part is I am usually not window shopping. I try to keep it tied to what I need. Otherwise, I would have a bigger pile of shame. Now I just have to get out there and play some games!

They look good!

Great idea, but I am to OCD to use different marines (First born and Primaris). So later on I might do a Malleus or Deathwatch group. I have 32mm magnets, that I am planning to use with my Genestealers. So will try that when I get to basing the Genestealers, and show how I plan to do that. Basically model on 25mm base, then that on a 32mm magnet (sheet magnet) and then build up on the magnet with greenstuff. Lets me have a magnet and not have to rebase everything and not have a base on a base. Will see. Just trying to finish my plan first, before going off on another tangent, that usually stops me from finishing my plan with a new plan. Then a new plan for the new plan before the old plan! :) Trying to find all my old minis and get a display case. Most of my old stuff is spread out or gone! So trying to recover.

A nice bit of nostalgia there. Thank you! I have three or so of the old Termies shown. If I may suggest, if you wanted to use them in a current game, I'm sure you're aware they require a larger diameter base. My solution for this was to adhere the model to its then standard 25mm then place said base on the current correct one. This not only gives it the correct diameter base but also goes some way to increasing the height so it's less of a tiny termie next to current models.

Using pathfinders for the scout blocking might free my far stalkers up for more aggressive action. I will try it for a couple of games. Thanks.

That's already an interesting difference in philosophy for playing Kroot, I never want to go second. 2. Yeah, Kroot are A LOT more killy than their profiles seem at first glance. Our overlapping buffs do crazy damage when stacked on top of each other. For you List Thoughts - Vespid can be good, but you're already running far more that I would personally. I experimented with both 2 5 mans and 1 5 man, and I always just found that while they would occasionally get lucky and do something impactful, more Kroot with better positioning did the same thing more reliably. I think they were great in Aux Cadre, but I'm kinda meh on them in KHP. - T'au units in KHP are a trap. More Kroot are always just mathematically better. You could be jamming another 9 Rampagers in there for those points you spent on Shadowsun and the Ghostkeel and they will both output and take far more damage. Same thing with Twin Lance, as good as they are, I'd much rather have 6 more Rampegers in KHP for those points. - Yeah, the 20 blobs freak people out once they realize how durable and fighty they actually are. I still only run 1 in mine, mostly because I like the objective flexibility of having more MSU, but I can certainly see the argument for running more than one. Mine I rune with both a Borthrod Flesh Shaper and Melee War Shaper and it's just a big durable blender of a unit. - As for the Trail shaper, in your list as is, yeah I don't think he's needed. You have so many units it's easy to out deploy most of your opposants and the main thing the trail shaper is good for, the re-deploy, is irrelevant. That being said, once you add in a second Farstalker squad (which is very good to have, I always run 3) it enables you to infiltrate them very aggressively to screen out your opponent and protect your scout moves, then fall them back to safety before the game begins. Here's what I've had a lot of success with if you're interested: KHP (1990pts) - Lone Spear with Long Gun / Kroothawk Flock (90pts) - Lone Spear with Blast Javelin x2 (160pts) - War Shaper with Dart Bow / Root Carved (60pts) - War Shaper with Bladestave (50pts) - Flesh Shaper / Borthrod Gland (60pts) - Trail Shaper (55pts) - Kroot Carnivores x20 (140pts) - Kroot Carnivores 10x4 (260pts) - Kroot Rampagers 3x6 (510pts) - Krootox Riders 3x3 (270pts) - Kroot Farstalkers 3x12 (255pts) - Kroot Hounds 2x5 (80pts) Most games, I have the Farstalkers focus down the largest threat on the board, while moving up aggressively with everything else, having my hounds and 10 man carnivores screen my army from countercharges. Some variation of that has proven very successful against most lists.

For what it's worth, since Space Hulk was ...ahem... inspired by the movie "Aliens" and Dietrich was the corpsman in the Colonial Marine platoon sent to die on investigate LV-426, you might go full circle.
