not with my BB box
IMHO, and I guess that's the thing Naz means to say as well .. square bases look OK if the fig is in a unit. Round ones look much better (again IMHO) for more individually placed figs like BB or 40K .. I even did sorcers etc on round ones for my WHFB Welfs)
I agree that the prone / stunned stuff is easier with square ones .
Ancacalon even wrote 'prone' and 'stunned' on the sides to indicate the physical condition of his lizzies ..
I prefer round bases to square, but I tried my lizzies (converted from the new[-ish] WFB lizards) on the round bases, and because of the tails (which I didn't have the guts to try to bend) the square ones were just so much easier to use.

Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.
I HATE square bases on bb minis. Always have, and the first thing that I did when they brought out the large round bases was to rebase my big guys. I know its irrational, but darn it, it dosn't LOOK right.
