Get Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War for free in GOG's Warhammer Weekend sale

Seems like everywhere's gone mad for miniatures this week! Following in the footsteps of Humble's Warhammer Bundle, you can now visit GOG to get a free copy of Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War as part of their Warhammer Weekend sale.

For those of you who haven't come across it before, Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War is a turn-based strategy game made by DreamForge Intertainment back in 1999. In it, you lead the Eldar on a quest to protect one of their Maiden Worlds from human and Tyranid invaders.

It looks like a classic turn-based strategy affair, though you'll find that even games in the late-90s weren't shying away from layering extra RPG-elements on top of everything. In Rites of War, your troops can earn experience points, which can be spent on different upgrade paths to improve their skills and unlock new psychic abilities.
