The '''Gellerpox Infected''' are a new [[Chaos]] subfaction allied to [[Nurgle]] introduced in [[Warhammer 40,000]] 8th edition. They are a recently invented creation of the Plague God's, resulting when a failure in the [[Gellar Field]] aboard an Imperial spaceship allows for the all-important field generator to be infected with a biomechanical virus that then proceeds to spread to the workers responsible for maintaining it. It psychically compels them to slowly weaken the generator's anti-[[Warp]] field until finally it reaches critical mass, whereupon the field generator transforms into a screaming half-machine half-flesh half-[[daemon]] womb and the infected turn into diseased cyborg [[mutant]]s, who proceed to try and slaughter or infect the rest of the crew.

The codex for the Gellerpox Infected specifically refers to a single cult, that of Vulgrar Thrice-Cursed, and has no real effort put into developing them out for use as [[Your Dudes]], which has mostly contributed to the army, such as it is, being lost to obscurity, since it's more a gloried way to pad out a normal [[Plague Marine]] force.

'''Vulgrar Thrice-Cursed:''' Also known as "Old Boilerguts", Vulgrar was originally an engine-master called Amstein Vulg, until the Gellerpox merged him and his two first mates into a single triple-headed multi-limbed abomination of flesh twisted around a pestilential furnace core burning with diseased flames. He is presented as the cult's Twisted Lord, a Gellerpox champion of sorts.

'''The Vox-Shamblers:''' Three of Amstein Vulg's most elite followers, twisted into diseased cyborg mutants, characterized by their formidable endurance. It's implied these stand in for the "typical" Gellerpox Mutants band.

'''The Hullbreakers:''' Three gigantic, borderline-[[Chaos Spawn]] Gellerpox Mutants, who represent the "Nightmare Hulk" unit for a theoretical Gellerpox Infected army that actually exists.

'''Glitchlings:''' Daemonic spirits of corrupted code, malfunctioning machinery and rust, essentially cyborg Nurglings that embody computer viruses and other mechanical glitches.

'''Mutoid Vermin:''' Three different kinds of mutated, Nurgle-touched vermin swarms; Eyestinger Flies, Cursemites, and Sludge-Grubs.
