Hello Billiam Babble,
Its good to hear / read you are looking into the older editions of Warhammer for the RPG elements and pieces.
To your 1st point, I hope you have had more luck with my links . I have tried the ones on this page. They seemed to work for me when I tried them. A few things to point out:
I. If the links are for a .7zip file you will be taken straight to the download page.
II. If the Links are for a .pdf file you will be taken to a view document page. The page will load up or try to load up the document in an on screen viewer.
[ This is a new feature of the file storage site, that allows people to view stuff while online.]
To Skip the online viewer: click on the download button. This will take you to the download page in the same way as step I.
III. Once on the Download page proper click the download button. Then Save the File to your computer or electronic device.
IIII or IV. If the download does not start: click the download button again. Or refresh the webpage.
V. If download still dose not stat after clicking the button. Try right Mouse clicking ( or what ever is the equivalent is on your electronic device.) and chose save target as.... [ example from IE 11] form your right click menu. Then save the File to your computer or electronic device.
VI . If non of those steps are helpful contact me / leave a reply message and I will see if I can fix the problem.
As to your 2nd point about which version of Warhammer: On this page the links are for Warhammer Fantasy Battle 2nd Edition.
The Photo you have is for Warhammer Fantasy Battle 1st edition and the expansion Pack Forces of Fantasy. The Following Page has links to the 1st edition documents:
http://the-lost-and-the-damned.664610.n2.nabble.com/Old-Warhammer-Items-td7578554.htmlNote: On the above page I linked to there is a download for Citadel Compendium 1 colure and black and white. Yes Colour is spelt incorrectly. It should be spelt colour :). THE important part is that both documents should be downloaded as they have a differnet layouts and content check the page numbers of each one.
In regards to Warhammer Fantasy Battle 1sted The 1st book has battle rules and monster stats. The 2nd book has magic rules. The 3rd book has the adventure / basic role play rules more for GM style adventure battles. Basic Experience system for Warriors and Wizards. There are no rules for how Life points work ( It is a magic statistic that is supposed to be important for long running campaign game ie RPG 's. In Book 2 they say refer to Book 3 for full details. Except there are no in depth rules in book 3 I have checked. :( .
Check out this OldHammer Blog for RPG bits :
http://oldhammerasrpg.blogspot.com/It is a cool read and may give you some ideas.
If you are looking for Warhammer 1sted RPG the big thick book version
That is in fact basted off around Warhammer 3rd edtion. In the same way as Blood bowl 1sted and Warhammer 40K 1sted Rouge Trader, are all basted off WH 3rd ed.
Anyway hope this has helped you find some of the things you are looking for.
Happy Adventuring, and safe questing to all :) .
