Games Workshop has hailed record sales and profits over the past half-year as the fantasy games specialist shrugged off recent malaise in the retail sector.
The retailer said pre-tax profits increased by 44% to £58.6 million over the six months to December 1.
It added that sales in December were in line with the board's expectations and said the business is "in great shape". Kevin Rountree, chief executive of Games Workshop, said: "Our business and the Warhammer hobby continue to be in great shape. We are pleased to once again report record sales and profit levels in the period. The global team have worked their socks off to deliver these great results. My thanks go out to them all."
