As ever, an interesting read, but I can’t do justice to in the same way others do, so I’ll leave it to you to read.

Be curious to see @N1SB's breakdown. That said, having given the report a quick glance the figures don't surprise me - operational costs continue to trend upwards at an alarming rate (across the board - raw materials, staff wages, utilities, shipping, etc), which leads to annual price increases. iirc, they were operating on an increased 1% profit overall post-costs last year?

 

Factory 4 - I swear this was due to be open by April / May? Sounds like it's running a bit behind, which is honestly just par for the course with any construction work in the UK. :laugh: Although it does seem that it's largely the fitting of moulding equipment and the tooling room that's outstanding now.

The company is doing great. One stat jumped out:

 

They're spending more on IT (£24.1 m) than the entire creative studio (£21.9m)

 

They're spending more on the IT crowd (£7.9m) than on manufacturing tooling (£7.6m).


Citations from the report:

"In 2025/26 we invested £21.9 million in the Warhammer studio with a further £7.6 million spent on tooling"

"Total IT costs have increased by £2.0 million to £24.1 million including increases in staff costs of £1.0 million (from £6.9 million to £7.9 million) and increases in software and related costs of £1.9 million (from £6.9 million to £8.8 million), including software purchased on multi-year contracts, offset by a reduction in consultancy costs of £0.9 million (from £4.0 million to £3.1 million)."

Another record year? But... the youtubers told me they were on the brink of total collapse!

 

Next quarter for sure.

 

Two things are constant with GW:

 

- Record profits, business is booming, it's a great day to be a shareholder

- Times are tough, gotta raise the prices again, can't be helped :confused:

It tickles me to death that at least two of their major animation projects are Deathwatch focused

 

A faction that they've neutered down to one kit with weird options 

Weird options? You're telling me you're not a fan of rolling 7 different weapons for a single shooting activation?
