==Daemons of Khorne==
The [[Greater Daemon]] of Khorne is called the [[Bloodthirster]] (other names given to them in background are '''Blooded Ones''', '''Lords of Skulls''', '''High-handed Slayers''' and '''War Given Form'''). Of all the Daemons, they bear the greatest resemblance to stereotypical demons, having a human body, cloven hooves instead of feet, leathery bat-like wings and horned dogs-heads. An earlier model of the Bloodthirster replaced the dog-head with an ugly human face, but recently the model has gone back to its canine-featured roots. They wield a fiery whip and a massive two-headed battleaxe (possessed by another Bloodthirster in earlier editions) simultaneously in battle. They are the strongest and most combative of all Daemons. The mightiest Bloodthirster of Khorne is [[An'ggrath the Unbound]], in the last 10,000 years he has only been summoned twice from the warp. Both successful summonings have resulted in great loss to the Imperium as many worlds fall to his terrible wrath.
The mainline [[Daemon]]s of Khorne are called [[Bloodletter]]s. They are ugly, horned humanoids with cloven hooves who tote blood-drinking battleaxes, similar in image to the Greater Daemons of Khorne. They are strong and expensive but armed with a [[Power Weapon|Power weapon]] and an extremely good armour save for a daemon. They are known as the '''Warriors of Blood''', the '''Teeth of Death''' and the '''Horned Ones'''.
