Bloodthirsters are the Greater Daemons of Khorne (also known as Blooded Ones, Lords of Skulls, High-handed Slayers and War Given Form).
A single Bloodthirster on its own is a harbinger of death to an army of mortals, as it is destructive beyond imagination and lives only to slaughter, maim and rend. In combat it is a blur of a frenzied motion of combat, its monstrous size and martial skill make short work of all who dare to cross it. They are without doubt the most warlike and aggressive of all Daemons.
Appearance
The Bloodthirster is the very fury of war made manifest existing of unfettered primal rage and frenzy. Of all Daemons, of all the Chaos Gods, they bear the greatest resemblance to the stereotypical daemon, having a humanoid body, cloven hooves instead of feet, leathery bat-like wings and horned bull-like heads whose huge maws are lined with sharp canine teeth. [2a]
Nature
Beneath the roaring fury and unending hatred there is the intellect of a keen huntsman and a fierce warrior pride that will not bear wounding. Unlike the greater daemons who serve other Chaos powers, a Bloodthirster will work no magic, for their lord abhors the practice of sorcery. They more than make up for its lack in brute force and single-minded devotion to the aims of the Blood God who gave them existence, being driven purely by the urge to slaughter. The foolish or cunning may attempt to reason or bargain with other daemons, but a Bloodthirster cares not for rhetoric or promises. [2a]
Notable
Weapons and Equipment
They are armed with both a fiery whip and a massive two-headed battleaxe and wear a suit of brazen armour decorated with Khorne’s skull rune. [2a]
