There's a new kid in town and these shambling plague hosts are represented by the repugnant and varied Poxwalkers, each draped in scraps of clothing from their former lives. Poxwalkers are a new breed of Nurgle's rotting legions. They differ from your fellow, fungus-encrusted Plague Zombies in that they are smart enough to use a gun and form military tactics. You could say that they are in between that or a Plague Zombie and a Plaguebearer in both effectiveness and worth. However, crunch wise, Poxwalkers appear to be GW's latest rebranding/Sigmarization (ie Orcs > Orruks), replacing Plague Zombies with an IP/lawsuit-friendly name uniquely owned by Games Workshop. Like Plague Zombies, Poxwalkers are smelly grognards with pretty terrible stats and no shooting weapons (flashlights make better clubs than guns tho to be honest), are slower than even Plague Marines but get two base attacks. They also get the same Feel No Pain Disgustingly Resilient ability as Plague Marines so ignore any wound on a 5+. They also get 7+ armor because that's a thing. Overall they're a pretty garbage unit (GET IT?!) but what do you expect from Zombies?
In a sense, Poxwalkers are the Guardsmen equivalent Zombie hordes of the Death Guard and are identifiable by their plastered grins everywhere. The one in the middle looks like Rick if he met Nurgle.
