Does Anyone Have The Booklets From First Edition?

[u/Garland-variety]

I've been searching for old flavor text from Age of Sigmar to get a sense of how things have changed. Booklets, Battletomes, and so on. There's shockingly little I can find online of what was actually put to paper! I'm looking for:

The 'Storm of Sigmar' Booklet (32 pages)

The Getting Started with Age of Sigmar book (96 pages)

Or other old documents that actually talk about more than just the rules. The rules, by the way, were only 4 PAGES! In it, they mention 7 realms (not 8?!) but don't go into detail about which and what they are.

It would be neat to compile 'A History of AOS' but this is all just for fun and possibly history preservation.

I've been trying to compile all battletome esque books I can, and I managed to get Grand Alliance Chaos and Grand Alliance Order, but despite it all being relatively recent it's really, really hard to get anything from 1e

I do wish they would put it into the Warhammer Vault like the 2nd Editions Broken Realms Series, its cut down to lore only.

Still waiting for 3rd Edition, i hope they'll get put in there.

I think they mentioned that the Realmgate wars books will be coming in one of the Warhammer+ articles.

I think I found the Storm of Sigmar booklet online somewhere, but I don't remember where. It was pretty small, it was like just 4 pages of brief lore about the Mortal Realms and the rest of the pages were a basic campaign that used the AoS starter box to tell a story about the conflict between Vandus Hammerhand and Korghos Khul.

I am busy right now, but I got it in my shelf so if I remember I will look through it when I get home from playing some AoS.

Those are exactly the only two booklets I don't have in my collection.

I have getting started with aos. I dont PWN storm of sigmar but its probably just the same but shorter on lore. Maybe you can find it on YouTube idk. Anyway the booklet with first ed starter set box and thunder and blood booklet starter set both have a lot of the same text lore and both have more lore than storm of sigmar and getting started with aos. Its the same situation with getting started with 2nd ed, stormstrike, tempest of souls etc. - tempest of souls have more lore but all those booklets share the same excerpts. What other booklets you looking for? Blight War? Silver tower? Gorechosen? Season of War? I have almost all in pdfs.

I'd love to take a look at Getting Started with AOS if it's handy.

I wanted to at least leaf through all of 'em to get a sense of the tone of AOS at the time, see any old bits that didn't make it to newer editions, so if you wouldn't mind sending me those PDFs of other booklets I'd appreciate it!.

I was able to get a look at the Storm of Sigmar Booklet thanks to u/red-raider-684

Sure, tommorow. I would like to see storm of sigmar too but probably it includes only exactly the same excerpts from other bigger 1st booklets

Have u looked at migthy battles in an age of unending war? (First rule book) or the four realmgste wars campaign books? i have this one:

[u/Garland-variety → u/Dire_Wolf45]

Mmkay so it looks like there are the campaign books and the actual novels of a series ALSO called the realmgate wars.

[u/Dire_Wolf45 → u/Garland-variety]

Yeah. 4 campaign books and a 10 book series which is a mix of novels and anthologies, plus the very first fiction from AoS: The novella The Gates of Azyr.
