'''Poxwalkers''' are [[Chaos]] troops which often accompany the [[Death Guard]] and other followers of [[Nurgle]] into battle.{{Fn|1}}
Poxwalkers are the victims of so-called [[Walking Pox]] - one of a numerous desease of Nurgle. Victims of this virus find their bodies shutting and rotting until eventually they die, though not completely. Humour of Nurgle is such that they are remains cruelly conscious and aware of all that occurs with them, souls of victims trapped in their dead bodies and with rictus grin they staggers out in search of a living meat. Many [[Inquisitors]] of [[Imperial]] [[Ordo Sepulturum]] claims that the Walking Pox is a variant of [[Nurgle's Rot]], for victim's flesh often mutated even after physical death, sprouting out horn-like spikes, similar to those that have [[Plaguebearers]].{{Fn|2}}
