Summary
Bloodthirsters are the brightest and most powerful servants of the Blood God. Indeed, they are the most favored of all of Khorne’s servants. Their bloodlust extends far beyond mortal comprehension, and no amount of killing, no quantity of corpses is ever enough, for the Fists of Khorne ever want more death.[1]

Being of a nonexistent nature, they are neither alive nor dead, and upon destruction of their form, they can possess anyone in a form of a spirit. Their true selves reside in the Realm of Chaos that control and navigate their manifestations)
- Damage Boost (With the Axe of Khorne, any critical hit scored by a Bloodthirster will immediately be fatal)

- Fear Manipulation (Alongside a maddening aura, Bloodthirsters can also cause crippling fear in their enemies even when approaching from afar and when they roar. Even perceiving a Daemon of Chaos can cause one to go mad)
- Transmutation & Life Manipulation & Blood Manipulation & Weather Manipulation & Aura (Even from miles away, Bloodthirsters can induce madness, crippling fear, rage, cause plants to grow thorns and even teeth that gnash at anything living, and causes inanimate objects to sweat blood, with blood clouds and red lightning flashing in the sky)

- Shapeshifting (Daemons can take on a number of forms to trick and entice mortals)
All previous plus:
- Acausality (Type 4, possibly 5; Aethyric Beings exist within the Warp, a realm in which cause need not follow effect[3]. The Warp is entirely unbound from the laws of space and time[4]. It's completely unrestricted by typical causality[4] and the very concept of time is meaningless to the denizens of the Warp[5]. For one to effect the Warp, it must be dealt with in terms of absolute actions[6])
- Beyond-Dimensional Existence (Type 2; The Warp has no true Geography and is fundamentally structureless. Daemons are formed out of the substance of the Warp[7])
- Nonexistent Physiology (Type 2 Nature, All Aspects; Daemons, like their gods, are 'Aethyric entities', the Aethyr at its core[8][8], Aethyr is the substance of the Void which transcends existence 'The Is' and non existence 'The Un')
- Dimensional Manipulation (Daemons can manipulate the higher dimensions of the Warp, imposing whatever dimensionality he wished upon it[9])
- Conceptual Manipulation & Corruption (Type 1; Greater Daemons and above can excert a degree of Psychic control over their environment and corrupt the structure warp and remaking it in the image of their related Chaos God)
- Aethyr Manipulation (By Khorne's graces, Bloodthirsters are immune to the Winds of Magic)
- Soul Manipulation (Daemons are Aethyric beings and lack souls; Even Nagash was unable to affect their soul)
- Fear Manipulation (Daemons are immune to fear)
Attack Potency: Large Island level (Bloodthirsters can generate storms with just their wing beats) | Moon level (Comparable to Incarnates, All the incarnates contain the energy inside of them required to perform feats like this) | Outerverse level (Daemons can traverse the layers of The Warp at will)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Should be comparable to characters who can dodge lightning)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Should scale to Saurus Leaders and Warriors, who are able to crush rocks and steel), possibly Class T (Greater Daemons possibly scale to rituals, and thus possibly scale in strength to mage lifting towers, has possibly fought Exalted Greater Daemons, who are superior to this.) | Same as before | Immeasurable
Striking Strength: Large Island level | Moon level | Outerverse level
Durability: Large Island level (Can survive blows from other Greater Daemons) | Moon level (Able to trade blows with Incarnates) | Outerverse level
Stamina: Infinite (Daemons are incapable of physical exhaustion and are immune to vigour loss)
Range: Extended Melee Range to Several Meters with Axe and Whip; Kilometers to tens of Kilometers with their Aura and Weather Manipulation
Standard Equipment: Axe of Khorne, Whip, Armor of Khorne
Intelligence: Gifted (Bloodthirsters are surprisingly cunning as daemons of Khorne and can outsmart even the brightest mortal generals. They are masters of maneuvering their armies through the battlefield, and generally use their troops to their best effort. They are also capable of speaking all mortal tongues and dialects)
Weaknesses: Requires a certain amount of Aethyr to maintain physical form. Upon death, it has to regenerate in the Realm of Chaos, but can quickly return to battle if there is a Warp portal.
