Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage centred on Warhammer Day announcements of new video games and merchandise made under official licence, which reflect well on the brand. Smaller stories on a director's share purchase and the Warhammer app were mildly positive or mixed.
