So I own all these Warhammer books but I've never played them. Are they complete games? Are they outdated? Are they worth anything?

>Are they complete games?
Honestly, not too sure on this one.
>Are they outdated?
By many decades, yes.
>Are they worth anything?
Probably, depending on who you find to buy them.
Luis Collins

Jordan Walker

If you are selling I will buy the top right one

>Are they complete games?
They're all for different games, so sorta.
>Are they outdated?
Hell yeah, ancient history.
>Are they worth anything?
Top right (Lost and the Damned) is the rarest and most valuable by a large margin. I've seen used copies on sale for over $100 USD (hell of a lot more than I'd pay, but still). Bottom right is next best. Check out used book sites for the going rate. You can get a few bucks for any of them though.

Go to Ebay, Advanced search, poke around, look for "Sold Listings", see how much they've sold for in the past.
Evan Turner
Okay, thanks anons. Probably not going to sell any of them, I don't need money right now. I was more thinking Would it be possible to play these old games today?
Luke Wilson
Find a Oldhammer group online. They love 3rd edition.

Read up on being a GM/DM, convince friends to play WFRP? Go to lgs and peddle your old rulebooks around and tell people they can make use of their bunk warhammer models if they play with you? Join some TTRPG club?

They are ancient, but are really fucking nice.
I collect the old books, and as several have already said, I would be willing to buy them.
The most valuable one I see there is the top right book. The Reals of Chaos books (there is one other one, if you have it) are rare and highly collectable. They often go for around $100 USD on ebay.
If you have a book called Astronomican (pic related), it is also very valuable. It's also pretty much the only book I need to finish my 1st edition 40k collection, so I'd be very interested in buying it.

They're from a different era, with different ideas for what makes a good wargame.
The Rogue Trader book, for example, is halfway between a skirmish wargame and a traditional RPG. It requires a third player to "run" the game, DM style.
The rules are also pretty fucking complicated. You only need a dozen or a score of models per side, and each one can have unique gear and such, but I've read through the book a few times and I'm still not entirely sure how to play.
The game is fucking insane, but I've heard great things from people who played it back in the day. I've always wanted to give it a try, actually. It requires a lot of room and a lot of time, though. Like I said, it's pretty complex.

Top left and the two bottom books are all complete games. Those are core rulebooks.
Strangely, the top right book can be used to modify both the top left and bottom right books, though each is technically a different game (reeeeaaaaally similar rules, though).
Go for it, user. You can spend hours having fun rolling on the random tables. They're fucking great.
Also, I am so jelly. I've been trying to get the two left books for a long time.

>Are they complete games?
Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader are all complete games, although each game had loads of extra material that came out after each of those books were published. The two Realm of Chaos books (Slaves to Darkness and the one you have there, Lost and the Damned) are part of this "extra material", containing roolz for both the Warhammer fantasy setting *and* Warhammer 40,000/Rogue Trader.
>Are they outdated?
Yes; these ancient books are from before the Dark Age of Technology. Those who remember playing the games from these editions are few and far between, but we're still around. Like said, you might be able to get stuck in with an Oldhammer group online if you're seriously interested in learning how to play.
>Are they worth anything?
Yes; see 's comments for details. If the binding is intact on these books, that'll make them even more valuable. GW had a really hard time getting quality books made back then.
>It's also pretty much the only book I need to finish my 1st edition 40k collection, so I'd be very interested in buying it.
Sorry m8. This one's taken.

Recently bought one in horribly terrible condition on ebay for too much $$$, just so I could have a copy.
It got lost in the UK mail.

I imagine you wanted a paper copy for your collection, but there's an electronic copy buried in this Mega: mega.nz
Liam Bell
I appreciate that, user, but yes, I'm looking for a copy for my collection.
Still, it'll be nice to read it, so thank you.

Was it USPS
I lost a $500 wooden breifcase for my mtg shit.
Brayden Martin
> This shit bait.
Nah mate they're worth fuck all, just throw them in the bin.
Robert Allen
It was whatever the UK uses for their postage. The seller dropped it off, but the tracking info never updated past "Acceptance." It was supposed to arrive last week. From what the seller tells me, their rules won't allow for a declaration of the package being "Lost" until the 22nd.
Hopefully I'll at least get my money back.

If it's in good condition, The Lost and the Damned is worth about $200-300 depending on how desperate people are at the moment. Hardback Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd Edition Rulebook is about $50 assuming all the pages are intact, and more if the scenario at the back hasn't been ripped out. Softback Rogue Trader and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in decent condition are $25 each.
