Based on the LOS rule of "looking from your miniatures point of view" is there any reason why you wouldn't pose your AT-STs with their legs straight up to add extra height/visibility so they can see enemies they wouldn't be able to in the normal "chicken walker" position?

Seems like you could game the LOS rules by how you pose this thing.

The taller you make your AT-ST the easier the enemy can hit it.

If you make it tall enough to look over all cover, it cannot hide in cover itself.

True, but you're not spending 200+ points to put this thing in your army and then have it hide behind cover. With only 6 rounds in a game you want to get its destructive power into play as soon as possible.

Seems like giving it the ability to see trooper units behind large cover that it wouldn't be able to see in a more conventional pose would be more advantageous to you then your opponent. I could be wrong.

Airspeeders.

The taller you are, the further away they can hit you from.
