The second expansion for Space Hulk: Ascension will bring new missions to the game this month, Full Control announced today.

Salamanders unlocks the Salamander Chapter of the Space Marines and brings 20 new unique story missions and 20 flash missions to the well-regarded turn-based strategy title, which is currently available on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.

According to Full Control, the expansion adds 30 hours content, and sees the Salamanders board a Space Hulk called Virtue of Hatred to find priceless pages from the Tome of Fire, and to wreak revenge on any who have dared despoil them.

It features new gameplay hooks, environmental challenges, and “an onslaught of hordes of predatory, alien Genestealers”.

Salamanders squads can include two Heavy Class Terminators (each with the option of having a Heavy Flamer), have an extra Flamer pattern, and can walk unharmed through fire.

In addition, the new Salamander Librarian has some ferocious new pyromantic psychic powers.

“This is our most exciting chapter release to date, with a bucketload of new content for Space Hulk: Ascension players,” said Full Control CEO Thomas Hentschel.

“The 3D models of the Salamanders are fantastic with lots of new details, and their scorched skin and bright red eyes make them stand out as a force to be reckoned with in the iconic Space Hulk universe.”

A release date for Salamanders is yet to be confirmed.

The first Space Hulk: Ascension expansion, Imperial Fist was released last December.
