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 6th Edition - The newest edition of the game of Fantasy
Battles. Most of the system is the same as earlier incarnations, but
Magic has changed to a dice based system. The new edition has also backed
away from percentages for army selection and instead limits you to numbers
per type of unit (Lords, Heroes, Core, Special and Rare). The final
major changes involve a new attribute called "Unit Strength".
No longer will 5 Ogres count as being outnumbered by 6 Goblins! (October
2000 - Present)
- Rulebook - A softback book sold separately to allow veterans to
learn the new rules without having to buy the boxed set with models.
A limited edition was also released in more durable hardback.
- Boxed Game - Contains 35 Orc Warriors, 1 Orc Warboss on Boar,
1 Orc Chariot, 38 Empire Soldiers, 1 Empire General on Warhorse
and a Great Cannon plus rulebook, cardboard and plastic building,
dice and templates
- Ravening Hordes - A "tie-you-over" list for all armies
released so far to allow people to use their armies with a temporary
list until their race's Armies Book was released. Given away free
with White Dwarf on the release of Warhammer and later sold separately.
- Armies Books:
- Orcs and Goblins
- Empire
- High Elves
- Chaos
- Skaven
- Dwarfs
- Vampire Counts
- Dark Elves
- Dark Shadows - A campaign pack containing rules for Albion battles
and new troops. Released for the "Dark Shadows - Battle for
Albion" summer campaign.
- Warhammer 5th Edition - With 5th Edition came the Lizardmen
from Lustria and the return of the Bretonnians. The rules changed very
little from 4th Edition, with rules clarifications being the main focus
as well as some rules to enforce the spirit of the rules. The magic
system was also overhauled, with many of the more ridiculous items being
dropped and new and improved magic cards being released. (October 1995
- September 2000)
- Boxed Set - Contains 20 Saurus Warriors, 32 Skinks, 12 Bretonnian
Knights of the Realm and 24 Bretonnian Archers as well as card scenery,
dice, play sheets, templates, roster pads and three books containing
all the rules and painting ideas needed to get you started.
- Warhammer Magic - An expansion supplement containing lots of Magic
Items, new rules for Magic and magic decks containing the spells
for each race's Magic Users.

5th Edition Warhammer, but the following were released during the
time of 5th Edition:
- Lizardmen
- Bretonnian
- High Elves
- Vampire Counts
- Dogs of War
- Realms of Chaos - A boxed supplement containing the Chaos
Armies Book as well as cards for mutations and other Chaotic
items.

in their own seperate book
- Warhammer Siege - A book containing all the rules and details
of equipment needed to fight either a siege battle or an entire
siege campaign.
- Warhammer 4th Edition - 4th Edition simplified the earlier
versions of Warhammer. No longer would characteristics include Willpower,
Cool and Intelligence as well as Leadership (all of which were generally
the same and were just used for varying tests). The new Warhammer was
now newer and faster, with less complications and a more enjoyable wime
all round. (October 1992 - September 1996)
- Boxed Game - Contained 32 Goblin Spearmen, 32 Goblin Archers,
20 High Elf Spearmen, 20 High Elf Archers, card scenery, templates

introducing hundreds of cards for Magic Items and spells.

yet more Magic Items and spells.
