GAMES Workshop, the maker of Warhammer, said it was in "great shape" as profit jumped as the company geared up to launch a new TV series with Amazon.

In its half-yearly report, the gaming firm said revenue reached £247m in the 26 weeks to 26 November 2023 up from £226m in the previous year.

Operating profit also leaped to £94.5m up from £83.6m in the same period the year before.

Off the back of these robust numbers, the company said it will pay a dividend of 195p to shareholders for the period.

Kevin Rountree, chief executive of Games Workshop, said: "Games Workshop and the Warhammer hobby are in great shape."
