In Nottingham, an army of tiny warriors is on the advance. Space Marines, Weirdboyz, Chaos Knights – and very small paint pots – are grabbing more territory as Games Workshop confirms plans for its fourth factory and buys land for two more to meet demand for its fantasy figurines.
It is the latest win for the designer and maker of miniature wargames – including the hit Warhammer franchise – which joined the FTSE 100 list of the UK’s leading companies shortly before Christmas. Its valuation has more than tripled in the past four years to just over £4.2bn – making it worth more than the airline EasyJet, the property firm British Land and the B&Q owner Kingfisher.
