The impact of Games Workshop's new licensing strategy has seen revenue rocket from £2 million to £10 million in the last five years. That's the equivalent of $155 million at retail. Licensing.biz explores the history, success and future of this British-born brand.

The move towards enticing new audiences into the Warhammer trope has been bolstered through collaborations with Steve Jackson Games for a Warhammer cross-over with the publisher’s hit title Munchkin, Warhammer Monopoly and a children's book series.

Its annual report has also confirmed a surge in revenue from £158 million to nearly £220 million, while last month staff shared a £5m bonus in anticipation of the results.

Hasbro has teamed with the minds at Games Workshop to bring the Warhammer franchise to the popular board gaming format.

The company – the team behind the now wildly popular Warhammer franchise – has detailed that staff will share a £5m bonus with around 1,700 employees splitting the payout ‘in recognition of their contribution.’

Categories in this year’s list span 15 categories, including Best Children’s Game, Best Abstract Game and Best Board Game. Two winners have been selected in each category under Judges Award and People’s Choice accolades.

Published by Black Library – Games Workshop’s own publishing house – the Warhammer Adventure Novels collection aims to open a new window in to the world of Warhammer for children aged eight to 12.
