Totally. Especially whe have large amounts of figures. With the steel bases you can add magnetic paper into Really Useful Box and they stick like glue. Avoids the apocalypse after an emergency stop or a sharp bend
It would be possible but a lot more fiddle as cut that circle by hand is tricky. For what you are looking for I would try Charlie Foxtrot Models or Warbases. Probably under 'sabots'
