10 Terrifying Warhammer 40K Creatures

9. Bloodthirster

Bloodthirsters are large daemons of the god of blood and rage, Khorne. These daemons are completely unmatched in martial prowess in the Warhammer 40K universe, slaying anyone and anything that blocks its path.

These creatures are depicted as large demons, featuring most of the typical demon features. However, they also have more dragon-like heads and wings, clad in bronze armor. They are red skinned daemons, and each of them have different weapons depending on which of the Eight Hosts of Khorne they belong to. For example, those that belong to Unfettered Fury use an axe in one hand, and a whip in the other. If they belong to Insensate Rage, they wield one large great axe in battle.

All of these Bloodthirsters are extremely large creatures, some being at least a few stories high, with a wing span of an entire building. Seeing a formidable foe like this in battle strikes fear into the hearts of many, knowing that death will soon be upon them. At least it will be a swift death…hopefully.
