GW has been fighting two things about AOS that it’s never been able to resolve until recently, 1st that the players hate the length of time it takes to play a game. Moving so many models take a long time. Many games take just as long as a game of Warhammer used to.
The 2nd is that those same players don’t buy as many models for AoS and they did for WHFB. Have a look at AoS marketing, the pictures have hundreds of models on the table, but no-one plays the game at that scale. The mechanics of the game simply can’t cope.
So what do you do? Ah-Ha! AoS Apocalypse scale. Ranked movement trays (harder to do on round bases but we did it for LotR), whole regiments destroyed in one hit! The players will be forced to buy new movement trays! They’ll have to buy hundreds more models! Screw Mantic, Screw A Song of Ice and Fire! Unlimited sales, UNLIMITED POWER! Muhahahahaha
