Games Workshop Index

For most of the 1980s (and some of the 1990s?) Games Workshop and Citadel Miniatures had a licence with IPC to produce games and miniatures based on 2000AD characters. They only ended up using Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper and (very minimally) Strontium Dog. Here’s a list of what was how Games Workshop used their licence in roughly chronological order (White Dwarf features listed underneath the main games). I’ll list what I can find of the Citadel range in a separate post, though apparently information is patchy so it could be subject to updates as further information comes to light. Everything listed here falls within the scope of this blog, so I’ll link blog posts as I go – at one post a day it should take about two thirds of a year until this page is ‘complete’.

While on the subject of games – to support the current licence holders, Warlord Games produce the current range of miniatures and EN Publishing were the most recent roleplaying gamers (I’m not associated with either company and they’ve never sent me anything to pay for publicity).

• Judge Dredd: The Game of Crime-Fighting in Mega-City One (a stand-alone boardgame)
• Judge Dredd – The Role-playing Game (does what it says on the tin – well, box)
• Judgement Day (scenario for the above)
• Rogue Trooper Boardgame (stand-alone boardgame)
• Slaughter Margin (scenario for the JD RPG)
• Citi-Block: Judge Dredd Floor Plans (self-explanatory, but has a nifty book on block creation)
• The Judge Dredd Companion (accompanies the RPG)
• Block Mania (stand-alone boardgame for two players)
• Mega Mania (expansion for Block Mania, allows four players)
• Judge Dredd – The Role-playing Game (as above, but in a hardback book edition released about two years after the box set)
