Editing Warhammer 40,000 (section)

===Board Games===
Warhammer figurines can be used to play more conventional board games released by Games Workshop, usually two specific factions featuring a specific set of rules. These board games can be a good source of units for regular WH40K wargames, especially if the game itself costs less than what it would cost to buy each figure individually. Some of these are known as "[[Specialist Games]]", featuring figurines unique to the game themselves (but still part of the Warhammer 40k franchise); for a while they had been discontinued, but are slowly being re-released. Some examples are below:

*[[Space Hulk]]: Take a squad of [[terminator]]s through a derelict space craft while fending off hoards of [[genestealer]]s.
*[[Betrayal at Calth]]: A [[Horus Heresy]] themed battle between the [[Ultramarines]] and the [[Word Bearers]].
*[[Necromunda]]: A gang war between different themed gangs with their own strengths and weaknesses.
*[[Battlefleet Gothic]]: Lead fleets of ships as part of the 12th Black Crusade in classic naval warfare.
*[[Gorkamorka]]: Play as one of four [[Gorkamorka#Factions|ork-themed factions]] competing for control of the planet Gorkamorka, including ork-like human barbarians and [[Gretchin Revolutionary Committee|renegade gretchin]].
*[[Lost Patrol]]: You're going to die in this one. Play as five unlucky scouts who will be ripped to shreds by [[Genestealers]].
