And?

They might have only sold half as many as they could have. Without any sort of customer feedback mechanism, they've no way of knowing. Repeating behaviours that have delivered positive outcomes can work to a point, and it's something GW has done a LOT, but when the Knight Castellan (or whatever) debuts this September with its new hat and sells 60% of the volume, they've no way of assessing whether it didn't sell because people had had enough of Knights, whether the kit wasn't widely felt to be aesthetically pleasing, because the rules weren't great in comparison to its existing peers, that it wasn't sufficiently different, that the inevitable price rise had taken it above a hard ceiling for many potential buyers etc etc.

But Nurgle is supposed to be mouldy.

The Auld Grump - Nurgle is not my favorite Chaos power, but he is the most fun to modify models for.

*EDIT* Moulding little minds, because the world needs more mouldy little minds....

No. What you should have said was... GW saw that big kits make more profit.

Why make 2 plastic sprues of infantry and sell for £25 when you can sell the same sized 2 sprues of plastic at £85 as a single giant model?
You can still sell far less kits and make more profit.

The only thing that's ridiculous is all the people defending the fact that 2 sprues of detailed plastic should cost differently because the model is bigger/detailed/full of options.
