“Ready the Defences!” - Imperial Fists Expansion Is Available Now Along With a New Patch For Space Hulk Ascension.

--------

Imperial Fists Expansion (separate purchasable DLC)

• Imperial Fists playable chapter

Imperial Fists generate less heat on their bolters and sergeants have the option to carry a single Tarantula into combat. They have a high defense bonus of +10, but have sacrificed the ability to use psychers.

Tarantula turrets exist in 2 versions. One with 180 degree overwatch cone and low ammo count and the upgraded 360 degree vision and high ammo version.

Shield of Retribution campaign contains 15-20 hours of additional gameplay with a brand new story. The missions are set up for the Imperial Fists and Tarantulas, but is perfectly playable with the other chapters. In this mission, the Imperial Fists discover an ancient Imperial vessel that has to be broken free and recovered.
