Games Workshop’s $27 million bonus for Warhammer 40K employees transforms miniature painting into a full-scale financial spectacle, with staffers pocketing cash instead of just tiny plastic trophies. The UK-based company’s record profits now mean assembly lines of envy—“Best HQ bonus ever,” one worker joked, as industry rivals scramble for their own magic dice roll.

Staffers, once famous for assembling tiny Space Marines, now assemble shopping lists after the $27 million payout. This Games Workshop bonus news has flooded Warhammer 40K searches, as fans and competitors alike marvel at a real-world jackpot that’s nothing like rolling a critical fail—unless you’re the competition counting your pennies.

Games Workshop’s bonus is nearly $6,000 per employee—enough for 1,200 Space Marine armies or an orc-sized stack of paint pots.
