You know, the old plastic rectangles with sloping sides.

Not to my experience, though I'm talking about the original ones.

Not at all.

I have FoW bases from Version 1 when I bought their first Italian starter army…that's about 15 years ago. I based the figures back then and still no warped bases.

My old medium size grey bases did. Not all of them. Just a few.

A friend of mine uses them and many of his have warped, often badly. I'd be inclined to use the MDF bases from Warbases which are available at the same sizes. As well as avoiding the risk of warping, they add a bit of heft if you are using plastic figures.

I bought some ready painted miniatures with warped bases. I think it was, because the basing material (sand) was glued with super glue.

I've never had any plain FoW bases, of any size, warp. I used to use Elmer's wood filler, then Vallejo basing gels.
