'''Poxwalkers''' are [[Chaos]] troops which often accompany the [[Death Guard]] and other followers of [[Nurgle]] into battle.{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
Poxwalkers are the victims of the so-called [[Walking Pox]] - one of a the numerous diseases created by Nurgle. Victims of this virus find their bodies shutting down and rotting until , eventually , they die, though not completely. The Such is the jolly humour humor of Nurgle is such that they've remain cruelly conscious and aware of all that occurs with happens around them, souls of victims trapped in their dead bodies and ; with a rictus grin they stagger out in search of living meat to feast on. Many [[Inquisitors]] of [[Imperial]] [[Ordo Sepulturum]] claims that the Walking Pox is a variant of [[Nurgle's Rot]], since the victim's flesh often mutates even after physical death, sprouting out horn-like spikes, similar to those that have become [[Plaguebearers]].{{Fn|2}}

Though Although slow and clumsy, they are very resilient and can withstand heavy damage. Worse still , they can groan with such volume, that the resulting cacophony can damage the souls of nearby living creatures, spreading the Walking Pox further away. Poxwalkers are particularly dangerous in big large hordes, ; because of this their groan ability, their resilience , and sheer numbers , they can overrun enemy lines, ripping, bludgeoning , and gnawing their screaming victims in an orgy of bloody and mindless violence.{{Fn|2}}
