"stormcast aren't as popular as space marines" is a really funny thing because like. yeah, that's objectively true. nothing in warhammer is. nothing in wargaming is. multiple 40k factions are statistical outliers in comparison to space marines. stormcasts don't have space marine popularity because that's literally impossible. but they're still solidly popular. people like them and people play them

when "stormcasts aren't as popular as space marines" turns into "and GW is doomed to failure for pushing them so hard" is when this goes from a basic, but trivial, fact, to something that's just plain silly

so to increase sales up to a similar level to make the investment worth doing, or to avoid the impression that those are less popular, make those people who want them buy much more

and as this is GW, it will work and be a major success

^^This, exactly this.

Not only will it be a success, it will tell GW that AoS is just as popular as 40k.
