Warhammer-maker Games Workshop yesterday said it is expecting to post a boost in profits for the year as it feels the lift of a blockbuster deal with Amazon signed in December.

The figurines firm said its core revenue would come in at not less than £440m, up from £387m last year, while pretax profits were expected to jump to £170m from £157m last year.

The boost comes after a tricky update in January when the firm posted record sales but missed its targets.

The firm signed a lucrative licensing deal with Amazon in December, which will see its Warhammer figures cast on screen.
