Although Games Workshop currently only support two main games,
Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 as well as Inquisitor and Lord of the Rings,
they used to make many, many more games and other items. Below is a list
of all of the Games Workshop games and main books that have been made
and based in the universe of the future. These items can sometimes be
found in 'Charity Shops' in the UK for only a couple of pounds, or they
can be found on auction sites such as eBay.
- Warhammer 40,000 3rd Edition - The newest incarnation of the
game of battles in the war torn 41st millenium has aimed to redress
the balance lost in previous versions. The focus is now on Troops and
massed assaults instead of super-powerful tanks and tooled up characters.
Army balance is maintained using "Force Organisation Charts"
during army selection. With the new release, three new races has been
added (Dark Eldar, Tau and Kroot) and two older forces have beenturned
into more complete armies (Sisters of Battle and Necrons). (October
1998 - Present)
- Rule Book - Sold seperately by Games Workshop to allow veteran
players to use the new rules without having to buy a complete boxed
set.
- Boxed Game - Contained 32 Dark Eldar Warriors, 20 Space Marines
and a Land Speeder as well as Gothic Ruins and Jungle scenery sprues,
clear plastic templates and the Rule Book.

the Armageddon Hive World

- Warhammer 40,000 2nd Edition - After lots of rules releases
and add-onsover the life time of 40K 1st Edition, Games Workshop decided
that a tidy-up was in order. Away went random weapons tables and that
many statistics and rules that everything became lost in the heat of
battle and in came a new, slightly cleaner system. It still used lots
of rules and tables, but everything was integrated and simplified from
the start. (October 1993 - September 1998)

- This was the first of Games Workshop's main games to go into the world
of "Science Fantasy". The game differed from Warhammer in
that it was mainly skirmish based, capable of battles between a dozen
models. As the game progressed, more and more rules were released covering
walkers, vehicles, new races and unusual squads and characters. (September
1987 - September 1993)

to start playing the First Edition of the game

book of general Warhammer 40,000 rules from White Dwarf

a compilation book of all of the vehicle rules for Warhammer 40,000
including the variuos datafaxes and rules updates that were included

compilation of White Dwarf Articles.

scenery of the armies of Chaos
- Epic 40,000 - Continuing Games Workshop's battles on a small
scale, Epic 40,000 replaced the now complicated rules of Epic Space
Marine and Epic Titan Legions with one simpler set of rules for troops,
vehicles and Titans. A "Players Edition" was later released

Marine, Games Workshop replaced it with Epic Titan Legions. The game
followed on from Space Marine in the same vein, but concentrated more
on Mega Gargants and huge Titans rather than the large amounts of troops.
(November 1994 - March 1997)

Ork and Eldar troops with standard transport vehicles for each race
as well as card Imperial buildings with plastic rooves. Also included

vehicles (Rhinos and Land Raiders) along with card and plastic buildings,
datacards, counters, templates, dice, range rulers and complete

by Games Workshop. It was based around the battles between Titans in
the "Horus Heresy". By combining it with Space Marine (1st

be fought. (Unknown - August 1991)

in your Epic scale battles, along with new Imperial vehicle, dreadnought

a new dimension - Space. Battle Fleet Gothic introduces fleet based
battles which could be combined with Epic or Warhammer 40,000 games
