Specialist Games is the category of Games Workshop's games that aren't Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Fantasy Battle, or The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. In other words, these are the really interesting games, which naturally means that GW gives them little or no attention. Seriously, some of them haven't been updated by GW in ten years or longer. This is not seen as a bad thing by everyone; fans of the old school systems say, why fix something that isn't broken? Change for change's sake is the way of Tzeentch.
Warhammer 40,000
The Specialist Games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe are:
- Battlefleet Gothic, a spaceship combat game.
- Epic, a 6mm-scale wargame for fighting battles between massive armies (lots of Titans and other super-heavies).
- Necromunda, a 28mm-scale narrative skirmish wargame involving fights between Hive city gangs.
Warhammer Fantasy Battle
The Specialist Games set in the Warhammer Fantasy Battle universe are:
- Blood Bowl, a football/rugby team management game.
- Man O' War, a naval combat game.
- Mordheim, like Necromunda but in Germany!

- Specialist Arms, where all the people who played and talked about specialist games went when Games Workshop shut down the official forums.
