Warhammer maker Games Workshop has dished out £18m (€21.3m) to its staff after bumper profits.

The games manufacturer said it would share cash payments "on an equal basis to each member of staff."

If split between its 2,700-strong workforce, each employee would receive near to £6,700.

The group said on Wednesday that its profits for the year to June 2 would be at least £200m – 17% higher than last year’s £171m haul.
