Is it "Legal" to base infantry on hexbases that are 20mm on all sides and 40mm across the widest point?

I know that these are legal perimeters but I'm not sure about 6 sides. I know I can just base how I feel but I want it to be within the rules allowed just in case of playing with new people or reslling the minis on ebay or such..
Also does anyone know how many heavy weapons minis have to be on the same base under armaggedon rules? The newer I.G. minis have 3 men all made together behind sandbags?is this the minimum?max?or does it matter?

I feel that basing infantry this way looks much better and not like scifi confederates marching against the Yankee ork horde..It also affords more room on the bases to make every base a unique diorama.Whats with the rectangles anyways? They look better than the squares but not realistic in the least..Lets all stand in straight lines :)

Thanks for any input guys.

As long as the measurements fall within the guidelines in the rulebook, it doesn't matter what "shape" the bases are... round, square, rectangle, hex, oblong... don't think I've ever seen triangles though...

I base all my Tyranids on hexagon bases... I think it looks nice and "hivey"!

They are hex bases from Dream Pod 9's "Heavy Gear" minis game.

I like them a lot!
