Editing Poxwalkers (section)

==Overview==
In the [[fluff]], Poxwalkers are in fact Plague Zombies of a specific strain. The Walking Pox, as it's called, is spread by the sound of a Poxwalker's groans and has the especially cruel effect of preserving the victim's consciousness even after their death and transformation. This leaves the Poxwalker [[Grimdark|fully aware of its surroundings and condition, but incapable of controlling the actions of its decaying, increasingly mutated body]]. The Ordo Sepulturum think the Walking Pox may be a modified form of Nurgle's Rot, as even after the Poxwalker's death its flesh mutates in the same way as a [[Plaguebearer]]'s.

Because they are formed from literally the dregs of society, Poxwalkers aren't particularly well-armed as they just grab whatever primitive junk they can find across the streets. This includes [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Flail|Flails]]/[[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Maul|Mauls]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Sword|Swords]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Axe|Axes]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Hammer|Hammers]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Spear|Spears/Halberds]] and [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Combat Knife|Knives]].

Whilst models does show some of them carrying the odd firearm like a [[Flintlock Pistol]], [[Musket]] or [[Blunderbuss]], [[Derp|there are no rules for them]]. Although in Darktide, they do carry guns that they fire. This includes [[Stub Gun]]s, [[Sawn-Off Shotgun]]s (Including the [[Pump-Action Shotgun|Pump-Action variety]]), [[Stub Rifle]]s, [[Crossbow (40k)|Crossbow]]s, [[Autogun]]s and [[Autopistol]]s.

Moreover, [[Darktide]] also introduces new subvarieties of Poxwalker like Poxbursters, who are suicide bombers, and [[Pox Hound]]s, who are infected dogs.
