Yes, but a detachment of 25 Bloodthirsters is very vulnerable to
firefights. Corret me if I'm wrong. Actually, any daemon detachment is
vulnerable. Trust me, nothing sucks worse for Chaos than losing the
Initiative during a critical assault phase if you are using a lot of
daemons. 0 firepower. Watch that 750 pt. detachment run. (25
Bloodthirsters) Of course, if they win the initiative... best not to think
about it.

p.s. -- Chaos is my favorite army, anyway.
