Planning to re-base a friend's 'nid army (currently on 1990s square bases. )

As he glued them in there with plastic cement they are b*****d hard to get back out again without chewing up the round plug and therefore probably won't fit nicely back into most 6mm bases neatly.

Was hoping to find some lipped bases which could be filled with pollyfilla or similar, and then the chewed up plastic plug sunk in while still wet. Sure i've seen some but can't find them atm - can anyone suggest something ?

Round, square, rectangular, oval, all shapes considered... Approx 25x25mm ideally...

I like the hexes, used them on some 2mm projects.

These bases are what i am using right now for my nids project. Nothing is based as of yet still painting or i would paste a pic for you. You get a lot and they are really cheap.

Thanks for the input guys.

Lipped ones from EM4 seem favorite so far. (No shipping to UK stuffs the ebay option.) I assume the hex ones are plastic too ?

I thought i remembered something siular for Flames of War too but i only seem to be able to find the ones with 5 or 6 round holes (though FOW 5-hole are option 2 right now.)
