My squad of termies drifted 11" and off a table edge... the thirster's Deamon host was in that squad...

Do I just lose like 700pts or does the thirster arrive on the edge of the table in which there was the drift?

In this I see a wording issue... there is Destroyed... because of drifting. And there is Killed which allows the thirster to come into play at the end of turn.

Help me out here. I think I just lose the thirster but I hate to play this wrong as it makes a huge difference.

From the Codex Chaos Space Marine Q&A in WD #281:

Q. The rules for Daemonhosts state that the Greater Daemon shows up if the host is killed. However, there are a number of other ways for a model to be ?killed? that makes this a bit hazy. Also some attacks obliterate the model, leaving nothing left to possess.

A. Any circumstance which causes the host to be removed as a casualty will bring the Greater Daemon into play. This keeps things simpler and represents the ability of a Greater Daemon to harness even the forces which destroyed its host to manifest and take revenge before it is banished to the Warp. The one type of exceptional circumstance I can think of is if the Daemonhost never gets on to the table or moves off it. For example if it falls back off the table or gets lost in the Warp while performing a Deep Strike. In this sort of situation the host effectively becomes a casualty along with the Greater Daemon.

the thirster decided to stay in the warp and have a party instead, but basically Ghaz is correct
