or are they about equal power

are the traitor primarchs that became daemons...are they superior to regular daemons?

If by 'regular' daemons you mean the most common ones (Lesser Daemons) then yes, most certainly. In fact, I'd argue they are stronger than Greater Daemons as well.

They need to be lord of war level in power

High level daemon princes.

Though they are not true greater daemons as once mortal.
Though angron on armageddon war had a retinue of blood thristsers....

That's... Pretty hard to earn..

They are probably stronger than your average Greater Daemon, but is Angron more powerful than An'ggrath the Unbound? Probably not. But then again, Lorgar did defeat An'ggrath before he was a daemon, so who really knows?

Probnly close. Angron, and the highest ranking princes with gods blessing can probbly hold own vs even greater deamons.
But most gods don t like wasted opertunities.

Kronr forbuds some to fight as get too many skulls.

Not necessarily. Khorne is the only one I've read that has a servant more powerful then his chosen daemon primarch. It's been theorized that it used to be Genghis Khan (Temujin) and it even has some mongol characteristics on it. Whatever it calls itself now it ran afoul with the Emps who happened to know/remember it's true name and as a result was abe to banish it to the warp pretty easily.

They're stronger than most, but that's by virtue of being daemon princes. There are certainly princes stronger than them, though there seems to be quite a bit of variance in daemon primarch strength. Angron and Magnus seem very powerful, while Mortarion was defeated with a single blow from Draigo.

That was because Dragio found out Mortarians true name, and that is pretty much an instakill against any Daemon.

Interesting question. "Real" Daemons look down on Daemon Princes, since they were once human, however I do wonder if Angron is stronger that An'ggrath or if Magnus is stronger than Kairos.

That was a retcon from Mortarion's Heart which was in turn retconned.

I like to believe that all of Draigo's stories are the ramblings of a raving madman who's spent so long in the warp he's gone absolutely barking mad and just babbles about fictitious deeds whenever he's spat back out into realspace again...

Nothing but a plaything of the gods.

Being as Lorgar beat the gak out of one of Khonres greater demons without breaking a sweat, I'd say it's a good bet that Demon Primarchs are much stronger than Greater demons.
