TL;DR: Warhammer 40,000-maker Games Workshop just handed out a massive £20 million (≈$27 million) bonus to its ~1,500 staff—about £13,333 each—after posting record results. Over the year to June 2025, core revenues jumped to £560 million (from £494.7 million), licensing revenues hit £50 million (up from £31 million), and pre-tax profits climbed to £255 million (versus £203 million).

Beyond its legendary tabletop miniatures, Games Workshop is cashing in big on IP: hit video games like Space Marine 2, animated shows (Secret Level), and an upcoming Henry Cavill-produced Warhammer 40K cinematic universe. While it warns licensing won’t keep growing at this pace, the company insists it’s bigger and stronger than ever—and it’s already teasing more expansions, from Space Marine 3 to a Dawn of War Definitive Edition.
