Editing Bloodthirster (section)

==Trivia==
* There is confusion caused by conflicts in the canon over whether An'ggrath or Ka'Bandha is the most powerful/greatest/simply best of Khorne's Bloodthirsters, as there is proof to support either side. Don't even get the canon-keepers started on Skarbrand when he had wings. Considering how nutty [[Chaos]] actually is, such a confused state of being is hardly unexpected. It could also be [[GW]] and [[Black Library]] writers just don't talk to each other and get some common facts straight. This could be actually fixed if the two battled, but Khorne himself will never allow for this no matter how tempting that would be. Thus we'll never know. In Warhammer Fantasy, it was pretty clear who was the strongest. An'ggrath never gets a mention, while Skarbrand is defeated pretty quickly by Malekith (note this happened before he became either the Phoenix King or the Incarnate of Shadow) though Malekith had some help from his dragon. Ka'Bandha, on the other hand, proves to be a nearly unstoppable [[Anal Circumference|rapetrain]] that takes on nearly all the Incarnates (other than [[Grimgor]]) over the span of one battle, smashes anyone else and only even expresses pain when the ENTIRE [[Warhammer Magic#Bright: Wind of Aqshy, Lore of Fire|WIND OF AQSHY]] scorches him with the death of Caradryan. He is only stalemated by Nagash (admittedly after [[Tyrion]] broke Ka'Bandha's axe), and finally defeated by Sigmar Ascendant.
* The Bloodthirster was <s>likely</s> blatantly inspired by the Balrog demons from Tolkien's works. Both are a type of demonic warrior and leaders of armies infamous for their strength, widely feared and able to decimate armies by themselves. As a bonus, both are known to wield whips and associated with fiery imagery.
* In White Dwarf 221's Arena of Death article, when some GW staffers were bored and decided to pit the then-most powerful special characters in all of Warhammer against each other, the Bloodthirster won outright (despite not being a special character and only being included on a wild card as there was one place left): it murdered [[Rakarth_the_Beastlord|someone's]] black dragon in a single combat round, crushed [[Nagash]] before he was able to strike a blow, pummelled [[Archaon]] in the semis and finally took out [[Lord_Kroak|Lord Kroak]] in the final.
* Each bloodthirster wields an axe infused with the essence of ''an entire other bloodthirster,'' which displays a profound sense of efficiency an practicality on Khorne's part.
