Shit.

Hey, I decided to try using Tumblr again. Here’s a model I painted recently:
-=After being routed in the Scouring, they would hold out against Abbadon during the Legion Wars being dubbed “Thrice Cursed”, a mark of pride amongst the Fortunate Ones.=-
Some notes:
This model features 6 different bits of freehand
The spine, muscles, and tail were sculpted from scratch
There are 8 trophy skulls, 8 mirror coins, 8 fingers, and 64 tallies on his leg (8x8)
Body is a plastic contemptor and arms are from a helbrute
The model is covered with an ultra matte varnish and done in NMM (non-metallic metal)
His name Ancient Tethra of the Sons of Horus 21st Exploratory Company “Fortunate Ones”

Okay I’ve got a crackpot theory. Be’lakor was a Necron’tyr. Here’s my evidence:
Be’lakor is the first Daemon Prince ever, meaning he had to have come from a very early era in the galaxy. The War in Heaven is as far back as the lore goes
Be’lakor has the favor of all chaos gods, something that would have been easier to get when they were smaller, such as at the very tail end of the War in Heaven with the deaths of the Old Ones keeping the warp at bay
The Necron’tyr have aspects that could feed into all of the Chaos Gods. They get sick and die at a very young age, playing into Nurgle. They went through biotransferance, a galaxy spanning act of change into a new and horrifying state, hyping up Tzeentch. And the War in Heaven was canonically the bloodiest and most devastating war to ever occur, so plenty of blood was spilt for Khorn. A very active and skilled Necron’tyr general or champion could easily have attracted the attention of one or perhaps all of the gods. Perhaps one who slew the beings keeping them contained and weakend might be rewarded, and with Chaos now a major power in the galaxy, rewarded handsomely
Now admittedly there are some holes. Nothing about the Necron’tyr in general makes me think Slannesh, though Be’lakor could have had some shit going on we just don’t know about. Also Slannesh wasn’t born till long after the war, though afterwords she had always existed, so it’s still possible. Be’lakor is the Deamon Prince of Chaos Undivided, not one god specifically, so it’s possible that his deal with Chaos as one entity also retroactively included all ‘new’ Chaos gods, such that when she was born she had already made the deal just as a causal requirement for existing, even if she wouldn’t have agreed to it had she been sentient then
Necron’tyr are supposed to have had weak souls, though I imagine with the sudden rush of power they felt being freed they could have made a rock into a Deamon Prince if it had been an especially attractive rock
Also the War in Heaven was at its bloodiest after biotransferance, which I imagine makes accession to Daemonhood impossible on account of the lack of a soul. Perhaps he was thrown to the forges and the gods pulled him out into his Daemonhood rather than losing his soul?
