Azed Crossword 2664

[Matakari]

Good day, hints for the following would be appreciated! Thanks in
Advance!
( Each numbered square in the diagram is surrounded by eight blank squares. All clues lead to answers of eight letters, and these are to be entered around their appropriate numbers, clockwise or anticlockwise, beginning anywhere. Solvers must determine where each begins and the direction in which it is to go. The four unchecked groups of three letters at the corners of the completed diagram, read anticlockwise, are words that may be found in Chambers. )

10 Notches miss the mark cutting stuffs (8 )
12 Inflorescence of e.g. hops to plunder in wall crossing ( 8 )
13 Dietary programmes, stewed greens I’m stuck into( 8 ) REGIMENS
14 Shield carriers are protecting fighter, last in former wars ( 8 )

13 Looks ok

14 Armigers - 'are' (protecting) 'MIG' (fighter) + '(forme)r (war)s' (last)

[Neveracrossword]

10 Stuffs = a verb, to cram yourself with food. Indide goes a three letter word for 'miss the mark, do wrong'.
13 Yes, anagram - 'greens I'm'.
12 A three-letter 'to plunder' goes inside a thing you'd use to climb over a wall, fence.

PS Here's hoping you can make it four in a row with the Spectator puzzles!

Some hints....

[Lie-in King]

Sorry.

[JJ109]

My hint Matakari is that now that you have answers to 13 and 14, get 19 next, which is a simple double definition, and then you will be able to work out exactly where these three answers start and whether they go clockwise or anti-clockwise. With these three placed, it then becomes simple to determine where the others start and whether they go clockwise or anti-clockwise.

[Matakari]

Many thanks, Lie-in King! And thanks, also, NACW, for pointing me in the right direction concerning 19. I’m trying to see how far I can get with this one in preparation for tomorrow’s Spectator which I would really like to crack again for the fourth time!

Hints and confirmation for the following to keep me on my toes, please!

17 Lists arrived in components of cortège
18 Don’t hurry, I mean to say in store department?
35 Aperture rodent has then refashioned inside

9 Old portraits: place pictures beside former queen, retiring RETREATS
16 Wretched quality, without a hint of excellence, in singer BASENESS?
25 Putin too devious to beat in contest OUTPOINT

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Matakari. Your 16 and 25 are correct, your 19 is a little bit wrong.

[Neveracrossword]

18 was answered a little while ago, on another Azed thread.
35 A foulr-letter rodent with an anagram of 'then'.

[JJ109]

9 is wrong but is an anagram of your letters!
16 and 25 are correct
35 anagram of then inside a 4 letter rodent

[Matakari]

Thanks again! I really thought that 19 was referring to the English pointers.
And what about 17?

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Matakari.

It's easy to overlook one of two when there are so many! 17 An unusual word for 'lists', it'll be in your Chambers. You need a three letter abbreviation for'arrived' inside a word, the plural, of a thing, piece of equpment, used in funerals.
