It's cheap, but is it any good?

I've recently delved back into my heap of accrued 6mm figures, and have been basing infantry on the rectangular (New Epic) style bases.
I plan on mounting some of the vehicles/walkers on the square (Space Marine/ Olde Epic) style bases.

I don't have enough of either, so I was going to place an order with Litko to get ahold of some. Then I realized, I don't know the size of these bases at all! I "googled around" to get the sizes, I squinted at a ruler for 10 minutes trying to guess… Can anyone get me an accurate measurement on these (Height, Width, Depth)?

Uberthanks!

Squares were 20mm by 20mm I think. Bevelled up to about 1mm?

Squares are 20mm and about 1.5 to 2mm thick.

The long bases (from E40k and EA) are 40mm x 12mm, IIRC, and about the same thickness as the squares.

The Epic bases had holes moulded in for the infantry's integral bases, so if you're ordering from Litko or similar, you might want to keep that in mind.
