Subject: Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon release date announced!
Actually Final Liberation used the Steel Panthers engine for the game. GW never lets computer games use all their minis rules for fear that we would stop buying minis.
Personally since they don't really make epic anymore, I would love an honest, accurate computer version.
Thanks,

I hope this is more Final Liberation than Rites of War. Again, as a previous poster stated, I loved the cut scenes in that game, but the game itself was nigh on impossible to play. Final Liberation was one of the best games I've ever played. I read a review from 2011 (note that the game was released in 1997) which rated the game at 8.2/10. How many other games have stood the test of time like that?
Chaos Gate was also incredibly enjoyable but so so difficult.

The PC version is fun, but the 3rd edition tabletop version wasn't well recieved and is probably the worst of them. The later Epic: Armageddon fixed its problems but that was far after Final Liberation
Nope!
FINAL LIBERATION was based on Space Marine/Titan Legion - and in no way on the bland 'game' that was 3rd edition!
FINAL LIBERATION was so much fun...
...I hope W40K:A is closer to that than not!

Is this the reasons why weapon lists seen in FL is very coarse compared to ones seen in tabletops? For example 'Bolters in FL refers to ANY bolt weapons in 28mm 40k games and Ork shootas of any grade' right?
I'm interested in this because I can play it on the iPod. But, will I only be allowed to play the 30 missions in the campaign or can I make custom missions or play as Orks? If not then I'll pass.

Did anyone else get a beta key? I hear some people did, but I don't know if everyone is supposed to get one...
Is that the case? Some people get it, some people don't? I asked earlier if there was some mistake that I didn't get the beta key, but no one said anything.
PM me if you want me to draw anything related to Warhmmer 40k. I will put it in my gallery for all to see.

Get ready to fight for the planet of Armageddon. Follow closely the words of the Imperial Inquisitor Horst. In his transmission, he introduces you to the Warhammer 40,000 universe and the mineral-rich planet of Armageddon. This is indeed a well protected planet, but how will the Steel Legion fare against a massive Ork invasion?
Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is releasing next week on the 26th of November.
The gameplay trailer will include the gameplay. Coming soon!
We had to get the final impact explosions in to record that and we only integrated them a couple of days ago

oh yeah I see that now ! never even heard of that game, but it does look like a mirror of it... I may have not read previous posts cover to cover but I hope its a facebook/iPad game.

I'm seriously disappointed in the lack of animations between units, and units traversing the landscape. Huge missed opportunity, I was really hoping for something closer to Advanced Wars I suppose. I'll give the demo a try if there is one but it is quite a disappointing result :(

Subject: Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon release date announced!
It looks alright but yeah, I definitely wish there was some animation going on. The real life explosions look kinda cheesy too. Hopefully there's music in the full version, as that's sorely lacking here. That being said I'm still looking forward to this game.

Yeah same here. It all looks too static. Final Liberation had more animation than this and it is nearly twenty years old. Still, will give it a go - might be fun to play if not so nice to look at.
I would urge you to immediately remove the above link.
As it illegal footage of very incomplete early Beta builds.
These testings are under strict NDA and this illegal footage has been reported to Games Workshop, Slitherine and YouTube.
And will be removed asap and legal actions will be implemented to anyone who distributes for copyright infringements.
Moderators we urge you to immediately remove this link....
So again remove the link, it is also very damaging as people might consider this as close to final and this is far from it. Animations are missing or largely placeholders, terrain is unpolished, music and SFX are missing, placeholder art shown... this is not how the game will look on release.
We will in the coming week show video footage of the final product.

That's good to hear. With some polish and refinements that looked like a game I'd buy.

As Iain from Slitherine publishing stated on Steam Warhammer 40,000: Arnageddon is absolutely the start of a series and we expect it to be one of if not the biggest we've ever created.
The initial contract with Games Workshop is a 3 year plan with multiple releases.
So there will be plenty more coming in the future and we plan to support, improve and expand this series for some years to come.
For sure there will be video AAR`s, a whole bunch of reviews and more PR coming in the coming days and weeks ahead...
That is complete and utter bull; 240 by 320 all square pixels compared to our 5000-25.000 polies high res 3D renders...
You have no idea 350 units each taken 7-8 days to create in 3D, textured,rigged and rendered. This not counting research, GW approval and correction time that each individual unit has gone through.
With all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about, have a good look when you have the game and put it next to your `90`s units.
But hell yeah, it is turnbased strategy, with solid and fun gameplay, but it has no GTA V graphics, so it must be terrible....!!!
Try it out for once and you will be converted, instead of being prejudice... ;-)

Looks Please don't bypass the language filter like this. reds8n final liberation looked far better and that was in the 90s. This has no real scale troops are as big as a tank what a fecking joke no effort has been put in the game design let's churn out crap and there is bound to be some people that will buy it. At the very least it should have been like final lib seriously a lazy dumb approach to a game let's make a game that's worse graphics worse engine than a game 2 decades ago.
Fantastic rather sick of utter crap game design and people praising it
Automatically Appended Next Post: Watched that trailer posted the guys voice is fecking awful
