Kayzk the Befouled is a 
Nurgle Legendary Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Thrones of Decay available only to the 
The Maggot Host faction.
Recruitment[]
- Recruited with: Tamurkhan’s Chieftains for 7
Dominance
Description[]
A bloodthirsty knight dedicated to the cause of Rot and Ruin, the Kurgan warrior Kayzk the Befouled has dedicated all to the service of Nurgle, Lord of Decay. The rotting pestilent mass that was once his flesh is untouched by pleasure or pain. Even should such feeling be possible, he could not give voice to it, for his vocal cords are no more than an open wound. Not even his soul remains to him, for it was offered to the Plaguefather as a trinket long ago. Now, Kayzk stands as nothing but a testament to the full horrors of Nurgle’s blessings.
Attributes[]
- Melee Specialist
- ▲ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
- ▲ Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
- ▲ Regeneration: Regeneration allows a unit to heal while in battle. Fire is known to harm this healing process, so be warned that flaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration.
- ▲ Poison Attacks: The poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage and/or apply the Poison! debuff.

Strategy[]
Kayzk is as one-dimensional as Legendary Heroes come, but since that one dimension is 'killing high value targets quickly' that can be forgiven. His main value to Nurgle armies is his incredible speed; ranged cav and spellcasters who'd otherwise run rings around you will no longer be safe. Although listed as anti-infantry his melee stats mean he has little problem taking on larger targets as well, and because he can pick up Unbreakable he can't be terror-routed. His only real weakness is getting slowed with spells and hit with focused ranged.
He further boosts cavalry and chariots in your army, making him a complete no-brainer to put in a Rot Knights-focused army.
