	Games - Forge World

The term Forge World can relate to one of two concepts related to Games Workshop's tabletop wargame, Warhammer 40,000
; one within the game's fictional universe, one in 'the real world'.

(into Planets of Warhammer 40,000) A Forge World in the Warhammer 40,000 universe is a collective term for numerous worlds, all having in common that they are completely dedicated to the manufacture of the various machines of the Imperium; from farming equipment to war machines such as tanks, fighters, or even Titans, to supply other worlds and the various military arms of the Imperium, such as the Imperial Guard.

The surface of a Forge World is normally completely covered in massive factory complexes that stretch across the horizon. As to be expected, its ecosystem has been completely destroyed. The air is saturated with toxic gases and rivers flow with toxic runoff from factories. In many cases, even seas and oceans have been dried up to make room for more factories. However, the sheer output benefits the Imperium as a whole.

While there are hundreds of forge worlds in the Imperium, one of the best-known is Mars, home of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Imperium's first forge world. Other forge worlds include: Ryza, known for its advanced plasma technology; Agripnaa, a primary supplier of Cadia; Phaeton, home of the Leman Russ MBT; and Urdesh, major forge world within the Sabbat Worlds.

In reality

Forge World is the name of a subsidiary company of Games Workshop run by Tony Cottrell, which designs and sells resin models for the various Games Workshop games -- primarily Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle.

Forge World models are usually models of rare or variant vehicles, from Super-Heavy Tanks and Titans to Fightercraft, Dragons, and Daemons. They also sell transfers and bitz that can be used to customize official Games Workshop miniatures. Most Forge World models require special rules (found in the Imperial Armour series of books), as well as one's opponent's permission to use them in a game. The quality of the models is considered to be superb as the resin allows for more accurate details than metal or plastic.

Cottrell has also recently collaborated with Warwick to produce the various Imperial Armour rules supplements.
