Poxwalkers

Poxwalkers are a form of Chaos-infected, mutant undead similar to Plague Zombies who have been cursed by one of the Chaos God Nurgle’s Warp-derived maladies, the so-called “Walking Pox”, so that they can serve as unliving weapons for the Death Guard Traitor Legion and other mortal servants of the Plague Lord. Some Inquisitors of the Ordo Sepulturum — the new Ordo Minoris of the Inquisition dedicated to battling the undead — claim that the Walking Pox is a variant of Nurgle’s Rot, since unlike zombies, the victim’s flesh often mutates even after physical death, growing horns, tentacles and spikes similar to those of Nurgle’s victims who become the Lesser Daemons known as Plaguebearers.
