I recently read that Khorne's BloodThirster demons have an 8 tiered hierarchy. The first rank has 8 demons. Each of them control 8 demons. Those 8 control 8 of their own, &c.
I thought this meant there a total of 64 BloodThirsters. I went back and re-read the entry of the hierarchy. Nope, it's what I feared.
Here is the break down of how many BloodThirsters exist:
Tier – [one demon] – total amount
1st = [1] 8
2nd = [8] 64
3rd = [64] 512
4th = [512] 4,096
5th = [4096] 32,768
6th = [32768] 262,144
7th = [262144] 2,097,152
8th = [2,097,152] 16,777,216
The total of all the BT's is 19,174,020.
Assume that one BloodThirster costs 125$ American…
The total cost would be $2,396,753,500 USD dollars excluding sales tax.
Each tier 1 Demon controls around 2.1 million BloodThirsters.
There are even more Lesser Khorne demons running amuck.
This kind of makes sense because Khorne's mortal minions are always killing each other off. Maybe they all become demons when they die?
If you believe these ridiculous numbers a Khorne demon plate should drop 20 BloodThirsters on the table. It would be in character.
