Square bases with straight/parallel slottas

Hi everyone!

During the last couple of years my pile of old lead has grown. However, it is not often that the miniatures are supplied with bases. It's no problem as long as the models need bases with diagonal slottas. But it seems almost impossible to find square bases with straight/parallel slottas. Does anybody know where I can buy these?

Couple of searches turned up:

German ebay seller has reasonable looking 20mm ones: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152600070688. This ebay item is for 25mm bases https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401298817850, but they do seem to have weird holes in the corner. I've never bought from either seller before.

As Late already said I'd be tempted to just cut and pin into a non-slotted base if you need 25mm (although the old GW ones did have a mold for parallel slots you could cut out if memory serves - if you can find some second hand), if it's 20mm and I needed a fair few then I'd take a punt on those bases from Germany.
 
Thank you for your suggestions so far, everyone.

The thing is that I would prefer to avoid cutting off the tabs of the models. I might try buying the ones from eBay for a start, but I'm afraid I will need a lot more than that in the long run. It was pretty nice when the underside of the bases used to have an extra mold for parallel slottas which one could easily cut.

I think the bases from Hobby Useful Company would be a great solution for me, since they seem to be designed for adding a little magnet on the underside - if they get in stock again.

Actually, it's quite strange that various companies produce square bases with diagonal slottas, when almost no one produces them with parallel slottas. One should believe there would be a market for those :)

warbases have also started selling parallel slot bases, which i thought might be of interest to others here.

Thank you very much. I actually visited their website when I looked for bases, but at that time I didn't find the ones with parallel slottas. However, when I took a closer look right now, I found them :grin:
