==Miniature games==
Games Workshop previously produced [[Miniature model (gaming)|miniature figures]] via an associated, originally independent, company called [[Citadel Miniatures]] while the main company concentrated on retail. The distinction between the two blurred after Games Workshop stores ceased to sell retail products by other manufacturers, and Citadel was effectively merged back into Games Workshop.<ref>{{cite book

====Specialist Games====
Specialist games came out of GW intention to create other games alongside the core Warhammer and WH40K. Originally called secondary game systems, these were intended to have a finite lifespan of a couple of years before being retired and a new game published. 
These games were aimed at the "veteran" gamers. These are gamers who are more experienced in the core games produced by Games Workshop. This is because the rules and the complexity of tactics inherent in the systems are often more in-depth than the core games. This also includes games that aren't necessarily more complex, but have a smaller more specialised target audience. Following the unexpected success of ''Necromunda'', the Fanatic division of GW was set up in 1996, this was later renamed "Specialist Games". The division was shut down in 2013, with all games being discontinued.
