I found this while surfing youtube.
You can just see the 90's oozing off it.

Apprently its from an old Computer game. called 40k Final Liberation.
Here are some more

I must say, Commissar Holt is kinda awesome.
But also, Why havent we heard of this much? Or is this filed under "forget it exists" folder?

Those of us who were alive at the time have heard about it. It was awesome.

It was by far the second best gw game I have played, best was chaos gate I think.

Even if the titans walked like little old men, running for the toilet.

man I hated ork custom mega shoota buggies

fun game.

I had this game. Played it on my old Windows 95 computer.

I loved the heck out of this game. I think I played it through about 5-6 times. I loved it and all the videos which I thought just kicked so much butt.

"WE'RE COMIN' FER YA 'UMIEZ!"

This game was pretty awesome for its time. One of the first strategy games to feature a world map that let you choose your next mission and which objective to take next (DoW used the same idea many years later).

It's just a pity that GW decided to axe Epic alongside the further expansions that were planned for this.

Plus the cut-scenes were better acted and animated than the Ultramarines movie!

I loved it nearly as much as chaos gate. One of the buggiest games in gaming history. Brilliant though although I hated lifta droppas those things wrecked just about anything smaller than a titan

Then why haven't i heard about this before then?

Don't know. It was great back in the day. There was a lot of strategy involved, picking the cities to take and get the resources. Pretty much once you captured the city where you got superheavies, the game was a cake walk. The victory conditions were kind of funky though, you could beat the snot out of the enemy, but if you didn't do it fast enough you still lost. Great game, and I believe it's abondonware at this point so you can find it online for free. It used to be on abondonia but I found it here http://www.old-games.com/download/5691/warhammer-epic-40000-final-liberation
I'm sure you will have to set up an emulator to play it though. It's been 15 years since I played it, but it was a hoot back in the day.

Its basically a toned down version of epic scale. Chaos gate was a lot of fun too.

Well, how old are you, first of all. This game was new in the days of 2nd edition. I loved it.

well, im 20, But i havee heard of games i didnt know exited before(like fire warrior) Im just surprised this has NEVER come up one this site.

It has. I recall several threads on it.

And I loved Final Liberation even more than Chaos Gate. The huge armies you could command, the little pixel-corpses that would just litter the battlefield, that wet "thump" sound when you dropped an Ork ...
Also, Thudd Guns.

Funniest two battles:
- storming the Ork-held ruins of a city with nothing but waves upon waves of cheap PDF troopers backed up by Basilisk batteries and a Commissar
- a suicide charge against an Ork Gargant (who had just killed off all my tanks) with a bunch of hardcore Tallarn Desert Raiders in melee: the Gargant killed about two entire squads each turn, but those guys still managed to blow him up after about 4-5 rounds ... goddamn heroes, every single one of them!

My favourite regiment was the Mordians, though. I only wish the game would have received those expansions hinted at in its library ...

And yes, Holt = badass.

That game was awesome, the video's were cheesy but for the 90s that was about par for the course.

Vortex missiles were always fun to use.

Damn missiles never quite hit what I wanted them to. I just stopped using them after they kept flying into unoccupied buildings or onto some farmer's field.

Then again, it was even worse for my opponent. Ork Weirdboyz can be as much a menace to their own army as they can be to you in that game.
The only thing I hated more than anything were those Lifta-Droppas ... my poor Lemans

Sorry you didn't get to experience Final Liberation first time around because the game was awesome!!

This was one of my favourite cut scenes

Spoiler:

The best thing about abandon-ware? It's free to download and play!

Now this was the game that started it all for me:

Space Crusade on the Amiga. I got the PC version on a floppy disk and it rocked my seven-year old universe. The tension! So grim... and dark...
