Anyway, if you head on over to GOG you can find they're giving away
"Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000".

Here's a link:
https://www.gog.com/en/game/warhammer_skulls_2023_free_game_digitial_goodie_pack

Oh, they call it something else: the "Warhammer Skulls Goodie Pack",
and it includes a lot of extra nonsense (digital wallpapers, a preview
of some WH40K book, etc.) but there's also a free game nestled in
there, and that game is "Final Liberation".

Released back in '97, this is a top-down tactical strategy game that
doesn't stray too far from the tabletop game; move units of space
marines and fight off the space orcs. "Final Liberation's" hook was
that it was scaled up to use the giant "Titan" class mechs rather than
solely focusing on the squad-level combat.

It wasn't really a bad game but neither did it really stand out. It
hewed pretty closely - perhaps too closely - to the miniatures game,
lacked much in the way in variety, and - even for its day - had
lackluster production values. It's a game designed mostly designed for
the fans of the tabletop game - you know, the boys who painted
hundreds of those little miniature army men - and did little to appeal
to anyone outside that hobby.

Still, it's free.

Want it? Don't want it? You got two days to decide.

Sorry Spalls but your link is not leading to anything as of 5/26 10 AM
EST.

I tried searching for anything warhammer related that was free but
nothing is coming up.

Argh. That's always a problem with GOG offers. They use some weird
javascript redirect that makes direct linking a challenge.

Just go to the front page https://www.gog.com and scroll down. They've
a big banner across the page "Warhammer Skulls Free Game + Digital
Goodie Pack". Click that and get your freebie.

Yay! That worked. As a dedicated Battletech miniatures player, I might
give 40k a try some day.

As Zag said, that worked. Thank you.
