Warhammer: The Mass Combat Fantasy Roleplaying Game (1st Edition)

Before the miniatures empire, there was this: the first edition of Warhammer from 1983, a three-volume rulebook set for fantasy battles and adventures with figures and dice. It is not a board game in a box but a toolkit. You can lead a handful of adventurers into a dungeon with a game master, or command a whole army against hordes of monsters on a tabletop battlefield. The rules cover movement, psychology, shooting, combat, flying creatures, wizards and spells, fumbles, creature lists and character advancement. You supply the miniatures, the terrain and the imagination. It is a historical curiosity for collectors and for anyone who wants to see where Warhammer began.
