Playstyle

The Floater replaces the Enforcer as the entry-level Grunt. Cheap and fragile, Floaters compensate with mobility — Going Underground lets two Floaters teleport anywhere outside enemy Control Areas, making them threatening objective grabbers. Self-Destruct turns even a dying Floater into a threat. Losing The Next Stage removes the faction's built-in sustain, so Appalachian plays more aggressively than the base faction.

Captive Story Action: Devour

An Appalachian Super Mutants crew may take the Devour Captive Story Action. ^{[Rulebook pg. 62]}

Choose a Captive model from another player's Crew Roster on your Story Sheet, then roll a die. This Action cannot be made if the Captive was taken in your last game.

2–8	Devour	The Captive is devoured and removed from its owner's Crew Roster. Each non-Absent model in your crew may remove the Penalty from one Penalized statistic.
9–10	Feeding Frenzy	The Captive is devoured and removed from its owner's Crew Roster. Choose a non-Absent model to Upgrade for free (0 XP).
