Having done multiple chapters (not companies, chapters, yeah 2000+ marines) I have
given up on GW bases, both new and old style. I do ALL my epic bases out of sheet
styrene. For those people that are thinking of doing this, the old bases are 20 mm x
20 mm. The new bases are 11 mm x 40 mm, NOT 10 mm x 40 mm, if you think it matters.
