Games Workshop is the largest and the most successful tabletop fantasy and futuristic battle-games company in the world. Our major brands are Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. In addition, we hold a global licence from New Line Cinema for a tabletop battle-game based on director Peter Jackson's BAFTA and Academy award winning film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

Our business is about helping mighty armies to meet headlong on the field of battle. At our HQ in Nottingham, in the UK, we design, manufacture and retail the vast range of Citadel Miniatures plastic and metal soldiers and rulebooks, which are the foundation of an almost infinite hobby. The UK manufacturing operation in Nottingham is complemented by a production facility at our despatch warehouse in Memphis, TN, USA.

At the heart of the Hobby are the millions of gamers aged 12 upwards, who spend many of their waking hours collecting, creating, painting and building up the armies which they will go on to command on a carefully prepared table top battlefield.
Tabletop wargaming

It's all about two people facing each other across a battlefield, each attempting to move their models into position to fire upon their opponent's force or attack them in hand-to-hand combat. The victor is decided by a combination of skill and luck with the players rolling dice to determine whether an arrow hits or a foe is struck down.

The Company

Games Workshop is a publicly quoted company with direct sales operations in the UK, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan and Australia. With over 70% of sales coming from outside of the UK the Group is now truly international. GW remains a vertically integrated company, retaining control over every aspect of design, manufacture, distribution and retail of our models and rulebooks. Products are sold through our own chain of 340+ Hobby centres and by more than 3,700 independent toy and hobby shops around the world. These outlets are complemented by our growing mail order and online sales businesses.

TRADING UPDATE
 
Games Workshop Group PLC announces that sales and profits in the four months to 2 October 2016 are ahead of the Board's original expectations.
Over the four month period of the year to date we have seen sales growth in constant currency terms. Sales have further benefitted from the favourable impact of a weaker pound. These have resulted in growth in reported sales for the period.
However, the Board is aware that this is early in the 2017 financial year and that there are a number of key challenging trading periods ahead.

One solid company in a league of their own. With the games now being made onto films and computer games this brand will surely go from strength to strength.

Income champion  
Last year, the then-Chancellor George Osborne brought in new dividend tax rules, which introduced a new 7.5% dividend tax for any dividend income over £5,000 received by a taxpayer within the fiscal year.  This change has made ISAs even more attractive for sheltering dividend income from the tax man, and it also means ISAs wrappers are the best place to hide high dividend stocks such as Games Workshop (LSE:GAW). 
Games Workshop is one of the London's dividend champions. The fantasy game group throws off an enormous amount of cash, thanks to its operating profit margin of nearly 15%. Most of the cash generated from operations is returned to investors via dividends. Indeed, during the past five years, the company has paid out nearly 100% of earnings per share to investors via dividends. 
For the year ending 31 May 2017, City analysts are expecting the group to pay a total dividend per share of 50p, a yield of 5.8% at current prices.  To get the most out of this payout and avoid Osborne's dividend tax, it's best to own Games Workshop in an ISA.
