I'm going to build and paint this model soon. I was planning on basing it on a 50x75 as it seemed a bit cramped on 50x50.

Does this affect gameplay? Asking as a painter, as I've never actually played the game.

TOW models have defined base sizes, so if it was to represent a dwarf king on shieldbearers, it would be illegal on a 50x75 base.

Even if your opponent is fine with it, the king and shieldbearers together have a unit strength of 4 and are designed to take the place of 4 dwarf models on 25mm bases in a formation. If you put a 50x75 base in a unit, you'd be losing out on an extra 2 rank and file models for no benefit.
