Also associated with BL Publishing:
- Warp Artefacts - This used to be the imprint of BL Publishing that marketed official artefacts from the worlds of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000; including art prints, clothing and life sized replicas of Warhammer items. Early 2006 they were brought closer to Black Library under the banner of BL Merchandise.
- Sabertooth Games - Collectable Games, including a number of different Collectible card games and Collectible miniatures games. Sabertooth and BLP are both parts of what is known organisationally inside GW as the Entertainment & Media Division (EMD). Sabertooth handles hobby sales of BLP titles in the US and Canada, and vice versa is true in Europe through BLP.
- Black Industries was Games Workshop's role-playing game imprint. They marketed the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and (for a short time) Dark Heresy, based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
