From what is known, there are eight ranks of Bloodthirsters, and three can be played on the table; Insensate Rage, Wrath of Khorne, and Unfettered Fury. However, from what I know, there is little to no info on the other five ranks. We might have some clue with Skarbrand and his unique axes, but that's about it. There are the daemons An'ggrath and Ka'bandha, but since those are Exalted, I believe that they might fall outside of the regular ranks (and in terms of weapons, they pretty share the same ones with the known three). But what about the other five? Is there any fluff on them? Bloodthirsters with massive swords, blades instead of arms, multiple arms, dakka instead of blades, bodies made of living fire? Ghalh'kra the Infernus, judging by his name, might belong to another rank of BT.

Bloodthirster of the Unscratchable Itch
Bloodthirster of the Unstoppable Flow of Blood
Bloodthirster of the Woman Scorned
Bloodthirster of Unspeakably Excessive Violence
Bloodthirster of Eternal Excruciating Enmity

Bloothirsters: They're bloodthirsters, but for crabs and other races that have different blood chemistry making it blue rather than red. Their cries of "Top Chunks of Exo-Skeleton For the Skeletally Intersectional Calcified Body Remnant Throne" was so wordy and obnoxious that they got their own rank. Never get invited to bloodthirster parties.

Bloodthirsters of Mild Irritation: Khorne is the master of all wrath and anger, even in its mildest of forms. Bloodthirsters of Mild Irritation don't participate in active warfare, instead being stationed at a vast daemonic call center, where they send spam phone calls to mortal beings trying to eat dinner. They have been known occasionally to go door-to-door as a religious missionary service known as the Khorne Witnesses.

Bloodthirsters of Korn: Due to a clerical error, one of the eight orders of bloodthirsters are dedicated to the heavy metal band, Korn. These bloodthirsters aren't particularly good at anything, but they are very loud.

Spudthirsters: Unbeknownst to humanity, potatoes are a hyperintelligent race that is extremely angry with the general state of its existence. This steady wave of rage created by the starchy beings created the Spudthirsters, a race of fairly ineffectual daemons due to the fact that they cannot fight, having no arms or legs and also being red potatoes.

Blood thirstersnof the stubbed toes and paper cuts?

Seriously though. Fluff wise there may be a reason. You do not send your D, E, and F teams to spearhead your drive into prime blood and skull territory.

For one there not your best and the chaos god's are competing to gain ground in mortal universe. Two, the prime and most powerful are gonna get first go at the mortal souls and lovely blood and skull harvesting.

Three. Only so many Deamons can be supported as Armageddon shoes without a major warp event to power them. Your not gonna use your power to send your little league team to the big game when you have a group of big hitting pros itching for some game time.

You deserve a exalt. I gave you one but I want to give you more!
