Collectibles Accessory Leader Ultra PRO Signs Partnership with UK-Based Games Workshop

New line of Warhammer gaming accessories to be unveiled soon

COMMERCE, Calif., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra PRO^® International LLC ("Ultra PRO"), a California-based manufacturer known for high-quality sports card and gaming accessories, is thrilled to announce a new licensing agreement with Nottingham, England-based Games Workshop^® Group PLC, makers of the extremely popular Warhammer and Warhammer universes. Ultra PRO will produce both classic and innovative wargaming accessories for Warhammer's two most popular miniature wargame lines: Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Warhammer 40,000 is set in the distant future and was first released in 1987. It has subsequently been followed by multiple editions of the game. The 10th Edition of Warhammer 40,000 was unveiled in March 2023 (three years after the Ninth Edition) and brought with it updated rules, new miniature models and more lore to Games Workshop's long-running wargame. Since its inception, the game has attracted a wide audience in the UK, U.S. and worldwide. These dedicated sci-fi enthusiasts build tremendous armies of fantastical miniature soldiers, paint their models, and then either construct impressive 3D dioramas for display or take their miniatures to the tabletop to play expansive games and tell their own stories.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar released in 2015 and has built up another strong following of gaming enthusiasts worldwide who simulate battles between armies by using tabletop miniatures. It too has spawned follow-up releases with Second Edition (2018) and Third Edition (2021) both altering the playing field of the "Mortal Realms" to keep wargamers on their toes.

"We are incredibly excited about this new partnership," said Ultra PRO Director of Business Development Justin Cole. "We plan to produce faction-aligned wargaming accessories and our classic line of trading card game accessories to support the worlds of Warhammer's two most admired miniature wargame lines."

This partnership was announced at the GAMA EXPO trade show in Louisville, KY, during Ultra PRO's premiere presentation on March 6th. If attending GAMA, please visit Ultra PRO's booth (#326) for a first look of Ultra PRO's new Warhammer products.
