Forge World is a term associated with Warhammer 40, In-universe, it applies to planets owned by the Adeptus Mechanicus devoted entirely to manufacturing.
Out-of-universe, it applies to a division within Games Workshop that specializes in large and finely-detailed models. The first meaning of Forge World is if you took Games Workshop and leveled it up a few times. Forge World grew from one of the oldest official giant stupid model projects, the early 40K lead Thunderhawk Gunship, which was originally created as a limited edition and routinely thrown at people who won GW contests.
The Thunderhawk proved so popular that GW realized there was a serious market for giant stupid models, and thus Forge World was born to provide them, starting with Baneblades and suchlike, working up to full-sized 40K Titans. Over time it's since gone about producing its own range of models and rule sets for a huge array of different factions, and even has its own home-grown Imperial Guard variants the badass Death Korps of Krieg or at least codified what was once little more than a doodle in the 3rd Edition IG Codex and Elysian Drop Troops.
The awesome-looking Chaos Renegades for Lost and the Damned also came from here. More recently, Forge World has been spitting out gloriously beautiful and horrendously expensive Horus Heresy-era models, meaning every mark of Astartes Power Armor, Cataphractii Terminators, and older patterns of Rhino and Land Raider. This, in turn, creates the best and worst things ever; re-built, revamped Rogue Trader models.
The horrible, goofy weapons, tanks, and dreadnoughts are back, in wonderful, goofy new resin kits. Yes, Forge World put out pre-Heresy Jetbikes, and they are everything you hoped and dreamed for provided you hoped and dreamed for resin dicks with Spess mahrienss inside them , including a new forgotten weapon type the Volkite. And now they also have Mechanicum models too- because who doesn't want to play around with the oft-forgotten Imperial Robots?
In addition, many of their older models read: all the ones you want are no longer available and command even higher premium prices, and all special models read: all of them require an attendant overpriced supplement containing rules that tell you how the hell to actually use it, since just including these as a printable PDF on the site would remove a valuable opportunity to steal your moneys. People who claim they have these either do not actually have these and instead have.
As of April 1st, and no, it doesn't appear to be an April Fools joke , Forge World has apparently jumped onto GW's 'Last Chance to Buy' bandwagon and has decided to do some housecleaning on their product range. Many other models have gotten the axe since, notably all the Elysian line, mark 2, 3, and 4 space marine armor, etc.
Combined with the retarded markup they now give to buyers outside the UK and the Adeptus Titanicus fiasco glorious rebirth, Forge World is now seemingly becoming the hated company Games Workshop once was, while the main branch keeps rolling out PR successes.
It's worth nothing that FW represents GW as a whole - they are run by the same people on the highest levels. In conclusion: 'Five hundred quid for a fucking titan? This is a good thing because, well, everybody wants a Titan, but do you really want everybody to actually have one? Not everything they make right now is overpowered, in fact if they aren't they tend to be absolute shite. A case in point of what happens when that little status quo is disrupted, with the release of affordable plastic Contemptor dreadnoughts and Cataphractii terminators, and with Angels of Death giving us non-Forge World rules for them, you can bet that everyone and their squig is gonna have the damn things now, even with the rather dumbed-down rules compared to Imperial Armour.
You'll occasionally find arguments online or perhaps within local gaming groups about the validity or 'official-ness' of Forge World products.
This has become less prevalent in recent years as the general perception of Forge World has become more mainstream, though every now and then the prejudice rears its ugly head, usually when your opponent won't let you play the FW model you forked out a small fortune for. They share the same trading address and legal identity. It is not a subsidiary company which would be a separate legal entity, but owned by the parent nor is it a licensee which is a third party permitted to use the IP.
GW also acquired Sabertooth games, which operated as an independent subsidiary, but both were eventually absorbed back into Games Workshop.
