The Specialist Games Range is a division of Games Workshop that offers additional games set in the world of Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, and The Lord of the Rings specifically to those who are seeking a greater tactical challange than what is provided by the core Games Workshop games. It is in this way that Specialist Games mostly appeal to more veteran gamers.*1

Nearly all of the Specialist Games rule manuels are availible to gamers directly from Games Workshop's website. There is a good deal of additional material availible as well.*2
