	'''Specialist Games''' are the category of [[Games Workshop]]'s games that aren't [[Warhammer 40,000]], [[Warhammer: Age of Sigmar]], [[Warhammer Fantasy]], or [[The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game]]/[[The Hobbit Strategy Battle Game]]. In other words, these were the really interesting games, which naturally means that GW gave 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 Roleplaying\|old school]] systems say, why fix something that isn't broken? Change for change's sake is the way of [[Tzeentch]].

	In line with GW's fine tradition of not supporting Specialist Games, GW decided not to convert SG's pewter figures to [[Finecast]]. Since they also thought it would be a [[fail\|good]] [[derp\|idea]] to completely end production of pewter figurines in favor of Finecast, this meant that once their existing SG stock is gone, they wouldn't even bother casting new figurines, though part of that also being that Lead is controversial to use, especially considering its adverse affects to human health. During 2013, the SG products available for sale on their website slowly dwindled until they vanished entirely. To add insult to injury, in April 2014, GW redid their website; the new website had no mention of Specialist Games whatsoever, not even the PDFs of the rules.
