Angron post-daemonhood is definitely more powerful than before in terms of raw destructive capability* - the problem is more that he now has a set of weaknesses he didn't have before (i.e. the standard set of vulnerabilities and dependencies of a daemon).

But then, they would also apply to any theoretical daemonic rival or servant, so should hardly affect where he sits in the hierarchy.

* And that's saying something.

According to the fluff in the Deamonkin book the highest rank in Khornes forces is occupied by the Bloodthirsters. Deamon Princes serve under the command of a Bloodthirster. Angron, while being no mere mortal before his ascention, is technicaly still a Deamon Prince. However, he has lead squads of Bloodthirsters into battle, wich would roughly (based on the current fluff) be equal to a Space Marine Captain commanding a unit made up of Chapter Masters. The question: where does Angron stand in the ranking. Is he above the Greater Deamons of Khorne and if not then how can we explain the fluff for the First War for Armageddon?

He probably beat all the Bloodthirsters in his service. Even Lorgar managed to defeat a stronger Bloodthirster. Primarch's are an exception to the rule, and a Primarch Daemon Prince would chew up Greater Daemons.

If I remember correctly Lorgar did indeed beat up a Bloodthirster, but was also beaten heavily by him, since he's one of the weaker Primarchs (in physical termes). But then again, I can't remember what type of bloodthirster that was.

It was kahbanda, the fw greater deamon.

Incorrect. Lorgar defeated An'ggrath the Unbound. Sanguinius was beaten by (but later defeated) Ka'bandha.
