Amongst the annals of the Imperium, few warriors have reached higher honour than the Wolf Guard of the Space Wolves. Devastatingly ferocious in attack, immovably resolute in defence, these savage warriors have broken many foes down the long millennia.

You can now command these fierce warriors and take on hoards or Genestealers with bloody results.

The Space Wolves Chapter DLC pack comes with new features and a new campaign, see the details below:

- 3 mission campaign, Fangs of Fenris
- 11 unique Wolf Guard terminators
- New weapons and new rules
- New frost themed environments
- All campaigns playable with all chapters
- Rune Priest with new abilities

We're happy to announce that the Linux version of Space Hulk is now available on Steam. A BIG thanks to all the people who tested out the beta version and gave us some solid feedback.

It's only the 32 bit version at the moment at we're waiting for an update to a plugin so we can make a 64 bit version.

Please continue to report on your experience with the Linux build :)

The DLC went live and we are super happy to release this update.

The biggest changes are really the addition of the 2 new campaigns, the localization, a complete pass on the achievement code and the reworked mission loader.

The 2 new campaigns are old classics from White Dwarf magazines, where we added a few missions to pump up the size to 5 missions. They add new mechanics like bulkheads and air ducts.

Sword of Halcyon is a little different, as its being played in a space ship that crashed into a Space Hulk during Warp travel and got infested. Its a time pressure campaign with turn limits.

Defilement of Honour has air ducts that only Genestealers can travel through. There are some really challenging missions there for you to beat. Originally it was a 3 mission campaign and we added 2 of our own into the campaign.

When updating, people will notice a large size increase. This is due to us reworking the loading mechanism of levels that speeds up mission loading on low end devices (ehhhh iPads for example), but eats a lot more disk space.

*A lot* of code and art has been touched under the hood due to the upcoming iPad version, and that means that there most likely are some bugs we didnt catch. Go easy on us and help us by reporting these so we can get them fixed ASAP.

A quick heads up to all is also the "cloud sync". This feature will let you take a snapshot onto our servers with your current unlock status, log in on another device (PC or iPad) and download the unlock states. This feature requires you to register an account on our servers. It will _not_ transfer single player save games. It works with banner unlocks, banner configuration, campaign/mission unlocks and DLC purchases!!!!! So yes - you PC users will get DLC bought transferred to your iPads for free with this option.

Change log is below with some of the details.
