Warhammer 40K: Death Guard - Poxwalkers
Expand the ranks of your Death Guard army with a shambling horde of Poxwalkers, the tragic victims of a cruel plague transformed into mindless, murderous weapons. This box set provides an excellent way to flood the gaming table with a mass of cheap combatants ready to lay down their rotting lives for the Plague God. They act as a reliable living shield, absorbing heavy firepower and keeping your more valuable units safe to execute their strategies.
Death Guard - Poxwalkers
- Cost-effective and numerous infantry to absorb incoming enemy fire
- Ideal unit for holding objectives and controlling the battlefield space
- Fantastic miniatures for practicing organic textures and rotten details
What You Can Build from the Box
A horde of 10 multi-part plastic models with distinct mutations and blunt weapons.
| Model | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Death Guard Poxwalkers | 10× |
The Shambling Hordes of Nurgle
Poxwalkers are the unfortunate souls struck down by a horrific supernatural plague, their bodies twisted into resilient, unfeeling monstrosities. On the battlefield, they advance in tight, groaning mobs, overwhelming enemies through sheer weight of numbers and the desperate savagery of their rusted weapons and mutated claws. For any Death Guard collector, these models are essential for adding the classic, grim atmospheric depth of Nurgle's infected legions to the tabletop.
Faction Strategy and Role
In the Death Guard army list, Poxwalkers serve as the ultimate 'chaff' unit. Their low point cost makes them perfect for protecting the rear zone objectives, screening characters from enemy snipers, or acting as a buffer vanguard that absorbs enemy charges while your heavier units prepare a counter-attack.
Why Add Poxwalkers to Your Collection
- Low point cost allows you to deploy dozens of models without sacrificing the heavy striking power of your vehicles or terminators
- Highly detailed and unique sculpts ensure that painting each model remains an engaging and varied hobby experience
- Great synergy with various Death Guard character rules and aura abilities that can buff their survivability
Tabletop Matchup Utility
- High-Damage Elite Armies: Poxwalkers force opponents to waste high-powered, low-shot weapons on cheap targets, disrupting their shooting efficiency.
- Fast Melee Attackers: They act as a speedbump, catching aggressive charging units and preventing them from reaching your vulnerable ranged assets.
- Tactical Evaluation: While Poxwalkers will not destroy enemy tanks on their own, their capability to lock down board space and absorb massive amounts of damage makes them crucial for winning games on victory points.

| Shielding Key Threats | Keep them positioned directly in front of your expensive Plague Marines to make sure they survive to close the distance. |

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is this product suitable for beginners? | Yes, these models are exceptionally beginner-friendly. Their push-fit assembly is straightforward, and their irregular, decayed appearance makes painting them highly forgiving. |
| How many Poxwalkers do I need for a standard army? | Starting with 10 to 20 models is typical for most armies. Specialized lists focusing on infantry swarms can effectively run 40 or more to completely clog the board. |
