About Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000 (Classic)
Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000 (Classic) is a turn‑based strategy title set in the Warhammer 40K universe. Players command the Imperium of Man or the Space Ork Horde in battles that depict humanity’s struggle for survival on the planet Volistad.
The release updates the original game for modern Windows, adding refined mouse controls, Steam achievements, and Steam Cloud support. A non‑linear campaign spans more than 30 scenarios and includes an encyclopedia covering over 85 unit types.
01 / THE GUIDE
Turn‑Based Combat
Combat proceeds in a turn‑based format: each side moves units and issues orders before the opponent’s turn begins. The forces range from standard infantry to massive Titans, giving players a variety of tactical options.
Success depends on unit placement, movement range, and attack choices. Planning each turn carefully can outweigh rapid clicking, as the system rewards thoughtful positioning.
- Test different unit mixes to see how heavy units affect early board control.
- Observe how lighter units can probe enemy lines before committing larger forces.
02 / THE GUIDE
Non‑Linear Campaign
The campaign is displayed on a strategic map and does not follow a fixed linear order. Over 30 scenarios are available, allowing players to choose which mission to tackle next.
Each scenario presents its own objectives and terrain, contributing to an overall narrative of the conflict on Volistad while letting players shape their own progression.
- Review the map before selecting a scenario to match your current army composition.
- Consider starting with easier scenarios to become familiar with unit capabilities.
03 / THE GUIDE
Unit Encyclopedia
A comprehensive encyclopedia is included, covering more than 85 unit types from the Warhammer Epic 40,000 setting. Entries provide background, stats, and role descriptions for each unit.
Consulting the encyclopedia helps players understand strengths and weaknesses, aiding in building effective army lists for both single‑player and multiplayer matches.
- Read entries for units you plan to field to ensure balanced selections.
- Use the descriptions to spot potential counters for enemy forces you encounter often.

Multiplayer Modes
Final Liberation supports both online and LAN player‑versus‑player matches. Players can connect via Steam’s multiplayer infrastructure or set up a local network game.
These modes use the same turn‑based mechanics as the single‑player campaign, allowing head‑to‑head battles with any of the available armies.
- Run a quick LAN test before attempting online matches to verify connectivity.
- Experiment with different army combinations in multiplayer to discover new tactical synergies.
