Unlike some games, the size and shape of bases in HQ doesn't really matter. Personally I'd be inclined to rebase with 25mm square bases (since it is a game that uses squares), or retain the WHFB standards so pieces can be used for both.

That said, my "house rule" is that all measurements for movement/shooter are from the base centre, allowing figures from various games to be used together without unfair advantage.

To your question. I have some blank plastic cards used for making identity swipe cards. These (or similar) could be cut to size and one piece glued on top of  a slightly larger bit to create the slight stepped effect HQ bases have....



Model shops should have suitable thicknesses of plastic card you can use, or go through the bin and see if there is household packaging such as old shampoo bottles, plastic milk cartons etc that you can use.
