Where did I say they should be?
I said that they should dump the system and start basing things as they should be. That means using larger bases for models that are inexplicably unable to be kept on the 'standard' sized base.

Because that worked so well in 1st and 2nd edition, please, it has been tired and frankly I would rather have the models designed as they are with Silhouettes than what was before.

That is the absolute worst suggestion I've ever seen for the game, going to silhouttes in N3 was a godsend. No modelling for advantage, no bullcrap about shooting a models weapon vs head vs main torso arguments. For a true LOS game with such over the top poses on so many models it's 100% the right way to go and I wish more games would go to such lengths, it stops arguments before they begin. Dumping silhouttes would be anything BUT simple.
No, instead they just need to model the figures so it actually fits on the appropriate base. If I grab Kaldstrom, I'm thinking I'll clip the rocks on the KoJ and swing her left leg against her right like she's leaping to the side

Very fair. I just happen to notice it more in Yu Jing for some reason.
At least the new Jujak Regiment Korean Shock Infantry unit has a 6-2 move which differentiates him from the other vanilla HI.
All HI seem to have 6-2 move in Code One (and presumably N4). All the HI in Kaldstrom have it, and if something as basic as Orcs have it, it’s probably universal.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's just the powered high tech HI which have it, and the CHA approach of "jus' stick some irn on it and no complainin'" would be slower "slower" at 4-4.

The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.

Gamenerdz is always cheaper the MM. Even when MM has sales the prices aren't that much better the GN normal prices. Upside to MM is they'll get their allotted orders much sooner then gamenerdz which can be about 2 weeks behind with CB stuff.

Lists are the contents of Kaldstrom, Beyond Kaldstrom, and the Dire Foes set minus the Adepticon exclusive Wandering Monk and the Kunai Solutions ninja.
