	* 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.

	* '''[[Skarbrand]]''': Once the greatest servant of Khorne, until [[Tzeentch]] tricked him into even greater acts of wanton destruction to the point he challenged Khorne himself as he was so angry. Khorne was so pissed that he throttled the emotions out of him, except for [[rage]] and threw him so hard that he flew across the [[Warp]] for a straight week thus banishing him for pissing Khorne off. Tzeentch like always, just sat on his throne, conjured up a [[martini]] glass filled with his poison of choice, and muttered: [[Just As Planned]]. Unfortunately, he now kills more in one day than he ever did when Khorne still liked him, so this could be one of the few times Tzeentch played into Khorne's hands. [[Just As Planned]]. He is thought to be Khorne's truest servant, since he kills without purpose and can gain no favor. Though he continues to fight for Khorne, it is for nothing since Khorne has no mercy in his heart, and his exile is eternal: None more closely embody the ideal of senseless slaughter for carnage's own sake. He now has a very pretty, very expensive model; $200 AUD [$130 USD] for one guy!? [[Nagash]] does more for the game in crunch and lore and he costs less. Makes you feel sorry for Aussie tabletop fans. Apparently being in exiled from Khorne-land gives Skary a lot of time to pretty himself up. In [[Age of Sigmar\|Age of Skubmar]], Skarbrand continues doing his thing; killing for the sake of killing. Eventually, however, [[Archaon]] gets so pissed off with Skarbrand killing his dudes when Khorne unleashes Skarbrand that he basically scolds Khorne with "I can't win the Realms for Chaos if Skarbrand keeps soloing entire armies", Khorne, despite not enjoying being told what to do, saw this as the perfect way to punish Skarbrand even MORE. What's worse than not being able to feel anything other than hate and rage? Not being able to express it. So Khorne makes a thing called Brass Chain to tie up Skarbrand in some mega-fortress in the Realms and for added [[lulz]], gives Archaon the power to unleash/lock up (though does require [[Gaunt Summoner]]s to do so) Skarbrand. Despite being locked up, Skarbrand regularly kills entire armies. In Balance of Power, he's thrown by Khorne to capture [[Alarielle]]: The Emo Queen, only to be thwarted by [[Grey Knights]], I mean, [[Lizardmen]], I mean Seraphon. Who proceed to kill everything else that came with Skarbrand, until just Skarbrand is left, who then 'kills' the entire [[Slann]]'s army, at which point the Slann decides not to bother trying to kill Skarbrand and returns him to his jail cell... Without locking him back up. Right when [[Sigmarines]] were trying to break in to smash the chain forever with [[Fyreslayers\|Fire Dorfs]] to prevent Skarbrand ever being controlled again. They failed to do so, but at least had the consolation prize of Skarbrand destroying the entire garrison before somebody tells Archaon he's loose. Must be suffering being a bitch Bloodthirster.		* '''[[Skarbrand]]''': Once the greatest servant of Khorne, until [[Tzeentch]] tricked him into even greater acts of wanton destruction to the point he challenged Khorne himself as he was so angry.

	*'''Kazarkos''': A sixth-ranked Bloodthirster from [[Age of Sigmar]] with an extreme fixation on butchering the Seraphon (Lizardmen) and Disciples of Tzeentch. The latter of which stems from his heated rivalry with the Lord of Change F'tanax, though how this rivalry began was never stated. Kazarkos led a centuries long massacre in the ashen steppes of Arida in the Realm of Fire before being felled by a Saurus Scar-Veteran. Such a defeat led to his banishment from the Mortal Realms and gave him a seething need for revenge against the lizard-folk. It was the dark master [[Be'lakor]] that would release him, binding the Bloodthirster to his will and using him to destroy the prophetic Old One device called Tepok’s Eye. As fate would have it, he had to work with the also enslaved to Be'lakor greater daemon F'tanax, and the two were quick to fall onto each other in a gory display of daemonic savagery. Though the first prince actually wanted this to happen, as it would make the whole attack look like a mindless feud between fractious chaos hordes instead of his coordinated scheme. Kazarkos is still in service to Be'lakor, and he’s not happy about it, though as long as he can claim Saurus, Skink, and Slann skulls for Khorne, he is complacent.		*'''Kazarkos''': A sixth-ranked Bloodthirster from [[Age of Sigmar]] with an extreme fixation on butchering the Seraphon (Lizardmen) and Disciples of Tzeentch.

			*'''Khorne's Bloody Fist''': A non-exalted but named Bloodthirster introduced in Total War Warhammer 3 as a Regiment of Renown, this Bloodthirster receives less damage when around worthy targets as the gore and spray on the battlefield protect him by creating a shell. In effect, he gets a bonus to defense when in close combat with large targets.

	'''Bloodthirsters''' are the greater [[daemon]]s of [[Khorne]]. They're fuckhueg daemons with wings who carry a [[Daemon Weapon#Axe of Khorne\|giant axe]] (Or more rarely, a [[Daemon Weapon#Firestorm Blade\|flaming sword]]) into battle that's capable of hacking platoons of soldiers into mincemeat at a moment's notice. They are also filled with [[rage]] and generally considered the most dangerous entity in ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' that isn't a god or comparable to an [[Imperial]] war [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)\|titan]]. Yes, you read that right. In all the [[grimdark]] violence of ''40k'', a Bloodthirster is the single most dangerous being to walk the galaxy, baring singular named figures such as primarchs, C'tan, etc. That is how fucking dangerous these things are. In [[Warhammer Fantasy]] they are somewhat less impressive, as the scale of the game puts Chaos on a much lower pedestal than in [[40k]]. Regardless, a Bloodthirster is still nothing to take lightly.		'''Bloodthirsters''' are the greater [[daemon]]s of [[Khorne]].

	Just to be clear, however, on HOW FUCKING DEADLY bloodthirsters are, [[Ka'bandha\|Ka'Bandha]] is a third rank Bloodthirster, which means that he is at least two orders of magnitude beneath the greatest of Khorne's Bloodthirsters, and only the two most powerful incarnates were able to put up a good fight. And in 40k, [https://www.librarium-online.com/threads/how-many-bloodthirsters-total.305953/ number crunching shows there are 19,173,960 bloodthirsters hanging about in the warp], and one was capable of taking on (or at least not being immediately swatted aside) a [[Primarch]] (and [[Sanguinius]], at that). All of them entering the universe at once is game over. On the other hand [[An'ggrath]] is supposed to be a first rank Bloodthirster theoretically on par with fucking [[Angron]] and yet he lost a duel to a [[Hector Rex\|mortal]] with a [[Power Weapon\|glowy stick.]]		Just to be clear, however, on HOW FUCKING DEADLY bloodthirsters are, [[Ka'bandha\|Ka'Bandha]] is a third rank Bloodthirster, which means that he is at least two orders of magnitude beneath the greatest of Khorne's Bloodthirsters, and only the two most powerful incarnates were able to put up a good fight.

He is only stalemated by Nagash (admittedly after [[Tyrion]] broke Ka'Bandha's axe), and finally defeated by Sigmar Ascendant.		* 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.

	* The Bloodthirster was likely inspired by the Balrog demons from Tolkien's works. Both are demonic ~~warriors~~ 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.		* The Bloodthirster was likely inspired by the Balrog demons from Tolkien's works.

	'''Bloodthirsters''' are the greater [[daemon]]s of [[Khorne]]. They're fuckhueg daemons with wings who carry a [[Daemon Weapon#Axe of Khorne\|giant axe]] (Or more rarely, a [[Daemon Weapon#Firestorm Blade\|flaming sword]]) into battle that's capable of hacking platoons of soldiers into mincemeat at a moment's notice. They are also filled with [[rage]] and generally considered the most dangerous entity in ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' that isn't a god or comparable to an [[Imperial]] war [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)\|titan]]. Yes, you read that right. In all the [[grimdark]] violence of ''40k'', a Bloodthirster is the single most dangerous being to walk the galaxy, baring singular named figures such as primarchs, C'tan, etc. That is how fucking dangerous these things are. In [[Warhammer Fantasy]] they are somewhat less impressive, as the scale of the game puts Chaos on a much lower pedestal than in [[40k]]. Regardless, a Bloodthirster is still nothing to take lightly.		'''Bloodthirsters''' are the greater [[daemon]]s of [[Khorne]].

	Just to be clear, however, on HOW FUCKING DEADLY bloodthirsters are, [[Ka'bandha\|Ka'Bandha]] is a third rank Bloodthirster, which means that he is at least two orders of magnitude beneath the greatest of Khorne's Bloodthirsters, and only the two most powerful incarnates were able to put up a good fight. And in 40k, [https://www.librarium-online.com/threads/how-many-bloodthirsters-total.305953/ number crunching shows there are 19,173,960 bloodthirsters hanging about in the warp], and one was capable of taking on (or at least not being immediately swatted aside) a [[Primarch]] (and [[Sanguinius]], at that). All of them entering the universe at once is game over. On the other hand [[An'ggrath]] is supposed to be a first rank Bloodthirster theoretically on par with fucking [[Angron]] and yet he lost a duel to a [[Hector Rex\|mortal]] with a [[Power Weapon\|glowy stick.]]		Just to be clear, however, on HOW FUCKING DEADLY bloodthirsters are, [[Ka'bandha\|Ka'Bandha]] is a third rank Bloodthirster, which means that he is at least two orders of magnitude beneath the greatest of Khorne's Bloodthirsters, and only the two most powerful incarnates were able to put up a good fight.
