Up to 50% off Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War, Chaos Gate, Final Liberation, Shadow of the Horned Rat.

For the Emperor! For the discounts! For the awesome bundle deals!
There's plenty to die for in this week's Weekly Staff Picks: Warhammer Bundle - where every single Warhammer title on GOG.com (including a classic newcomer) is up to 50% off!

Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War is today's tabletop experience brought to digital life. Based on SSI's famous Panzer General II engine - it's large scale, brutal, and as core a strategy game as they come.

Warhammer 40,000: Final Liberation Epic is... truly epic. It's all about epic scenarios featuring legions of troops, heavy tanks, and titanic mechs. Go from small skirmishes to all out slaughter in an epic Warhammer universe.

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat is a real-time 3D take on the original turn-based tabletop experience. It's also the very first adaptation of the Warhammer world ever released. If you prefer, or want to discover the Warhammer roots, this is the game to do it with.

Finally, there's Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, PC Gamer calls it the "best PC implementation of the Warhammer system to date” - a squad-based strategy treat that's so many fans' favorite for a really good reason.

Go to war with Weekly Staff Picks: Warhammer Bundle with discounts up to 50% off! The promo will last until Thursday, October 29, 10:59 AM GMT.

So, do these work at all on modern systems? The reviews are making me feel like I'd just be throwing money away here.

Rites of War didn't have any reviews yet, but on the three other WH games it seemed the 1-star ratings were complaining that each of those games crash either when you launch the game, or start the first mission. So something that should be easy to detect.

On a HP ProBook 6470b laptop (Intel HD 4000 graphics chipset, Windows 7/64bit), I just installed and played all four for awhile, like a couple of rounds. I didn't see any issues at least yet, games launched, intro videos were shown, music was played, the first campaign missions seemed to work fine for the couple of rounds I played them.

So at least for me those instant crashing and black screen problems didn't seem to occur, at a glance the games worked fine. Not sure if other problems will arise later, is there some kind of list of all the issues that could be seen? Someone e.g. mentioned that in one of the games certain actions by the enemy could crash the game.

Ps. Final Liberation and Horned Rat are not yet marked as Windows 10 compatible, I don't know what, if any, issue there is.

Your mileage may vary and all that.

Nice one!

I only hope I'm gonna get my money before the promo ends.

Nice. Hopefully you guys will also add Warhammer: Dark Omen and maybe even other Warhammer games like Fire Warrior or the Dawn of War RTS games.

Sent a ticket to support a month ago and no w10 support for these at the time, unfortunately. If you ask me, just a matter of time.
And THANK YOU for stating that these gems run nicely on Intel gpus! :P

IronArcturus: How does Rites of War compare to Chaos Gate?
Doesnt, completely different games. Turn based squad combat for CG and grand strat for Rites. I suppose if you are looking for broad similarities, they are both turn based.

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat was a Win95 game. modern OSs always have trouble running Win95 games. the abandonia version had some kind of patch which fixed it for WinXP. EDIT: linked to wrong warhammer game page. it supposedly works on Win Vista/7/8. in any case, i still think Dawn of War 1 was the best RTS version of WH40K with its customisable units and squad control.

Shame these don't run well on modern machines.

Since it works on Windows 7/64bit I might try it out.

Has Chaos Gate been fixed yet? Will it run on Windows 7?
