Glorious Portents

I've always assumed that Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1st edition, published in 1986, was the first Warhammer role-playing game. But it turns out that Warhammer was a roleplaying game from the very beginning. The first ruleset for Warhammer was "Warhammer The Mass Combat Fantasy Role-Playing Game" (WMCFRP?) - which I thought was basically just the first edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. But it turns out it is actually a fully fledged roleplaying game as well, not just mass combat.
