'''Plague Zombies''' are victims of a virulent and deadly infection spread by the minions of Nurgle. Not only do they die as the result of the disease, they return as undead, mindlessly devoted to adding their former comrades in arms to their number.
The Zombie plague (the "Curse of Unbelief") has been making its way around the 40K universe for quite some time, from appeared in the underhives of [[Necromunda]] to the furthest corners and in Chaos influenced regions of the [[Segmentum Obscurus]]. It is a spiritual as much as physical contagion, afflicting those lacking in lacking in utter faith.
Plague Zombies act very much like the zombies in films of today, mindless, shambling and cannibalistic. The main thing about plague zombies (and zombies in general) is that they are hard to kill and require an accurate shot to the head to kill them.
