Might I offer a suggestion?
Take a cereal box, cut it into squares that will fit on top of the stand, take a hole puncher and punch holes in it where you want the figs to go, glue it down to the base, and insert figs.
Hey now they look just like the way they look mounted in the old stands, flush across the surface

Hmmm that's a great tip Jaldon!
Anyway - I started wondering about something: What happens if there are more than 7 minis on the base? And why is it not allowed?

Well, ruleswise, its simply the cut-off point - any more than 7 models and they'd be better represented by two stands of four! 
Basically, you could put more on a stand if you want, but that will seem quite weak in comparison to other units. 10 Orks should get two attacks in an assault, but if you put 10 on one stand they'll only get one... Of course, it could easily be fixed by fiddling with the stats, or simply counting your mega-base as two (or more) stands of boyz for game puposes. That said, I have found that as long as you have loads of boyz in the army, they'll look like a proper horde even 5 to a base!
I like the idea of putting killa kanz, bikes and whatever mixed into boyz stands - that'll really help the rag-tag appearance.

Hi Guys,
I've thought about basing my next batch of Orkz irregularly on 20mmx40mm Warmaster stands next time, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I like the idea.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
