Hoary Long Fang with Lascannon

I've converted three Vindicare Assassins. For two of them, I was planning some scenic bases that would require larger bases than they use as standard, I was thinking either 50mm, or 60mm but certainly not larger. Would there be any real issue with this?
As far as I can see, it would provide no benefits based on their usage, and possibly allow foes to get into melee faster which could actually be a disadvantage. If there were any buff effects or whatnot, a standard base could be used for measuring.

You'd find that most people wouldn't have a problem with this, myself included.
Do they have any aura abilities that could be claimed as an "advantage" ?

No, they don't. They'll just be a supplemental detachment for my SW, so I don't think they'd be near anything that could give them one they could use either.
I figured it'd be fine. I wouldn't have an issue with it.

A single character that is also a solo sniper with no buffing auras can definitely have a bigger scenic base without considering that modeling for advantage. It's rather the opposite since the assassin is usually placed in cover on top of some building/ruins and with a larger base it may be harder to position him in the exact spot you want him to be.

I'd be fine with it, but if you ever do tournaments it could be an issue.

I wouldn't let this put you off. TOs don't have the time or inclination to go through every army looking for things on slightly the wrong base.
The only reason it would matter in a tournament if is your opponent(s) told the TO you were modelling for advantage with it and felt they were being cheated.

One of the assassins has an explode aura (Evisor I think) that may get a boost to it's AOE but that's the only one I think.
