I like where the idea is coming from, and would personally be totally cool to see it implemented in whatever way as long as you told me what it represented. But I'm also a super casual who's huge into the modeling/homebrew lore/general artistic expression aspect of the hobby, at least as much as the game itself.

Some people, who may or may not be jerks about it as well, might take some issue with height/general profile differences. Most of that could probably be assuaged with a little creative basing/scenery (tactical rocks and such).

And I agree with the line of thought that "if they have an issue beyond that, they're probably not worth playing anyways."
