Can the “skull” (or head part) of a Necron be added to Khorne’s Skull Throne, or would they go back to the Necron reassembly center?

Hey I know who would win but heres a question, who would fall to which chaos god or faction?
I heard that in old lore, Khorne was born during the crusades, Tzeentch was born during the renaissance, and Nurgle was born during the Black Death but then I heard this retconned for Khorne being born during the war in heaven, (forgot which time period Tzeentch was born into), and Nurgle being born during the enslaver plague.
So, which is which?

(This is my Fanmade Origin Story of Malal, or rather... Malice, since I don't trust GW with Malal's bacstory due to how they treated the C'tan!)
The Dark Joker of This Galaxy, the ultimate rival to The Emperor of Mankind, the only Chaos God that should be able to defeat him, as that would only be justice in Malal's crooked mind, Malal has come. But what are the origins of Malal?
Malal was woken up because the being that would be called The Emperor of Mankind went into the Warp and saw Malal... "sleeping". For Malal became alive due to humanity's malice in their hearts, and their desire for a just world. The Emperor showed his power and Malal went loose. That being that woke up Malal was so disgusted at himself and so horrified at what he has done that he almost killed himself but his allies convinced him that he is better than he thinks he is, and they eventually convinced him to become... The Emperor of Mankind. The Emperor of Mankind is about to avenge humanity, to keep humanity from the dark hands of... M A L I C E! Created by Psykers of Humanity to feast upon them in Age of Strife, humanity's weakest moment, it was truly... truly a horrifying sight. And it's all Humanity's (though mostly Psykers tho non Psykers played a part as well!)
Eventually Malal was such a threat that the Chaos Gods stopped their great game just to stop him, Ork Gods, Eldar Gods, crosovers, and Chaos were led by the Emperor to stop the ultimate Greater Threat, MALAL! It ended with Malal being shattered into a million pieces, the second biggest shard of Malal entering Dungeons and Dragons, and the biggest shard, known as MALICE being eaten by Khorne, waiting to become reborn again. The Dark Angels destroyed all evidence that this battle ever happened, as it was merely that traumatizing and corrupting for the world to know.
Eventually in the 13th black crusade, what was supposed to be a rousing victory for Khorne and Chaos became phyrric, as Malice ripped himself out of Khornes Stomach, his heart filled with nothing... but Malice for the Dark God, Khorne. Malice swore his revenge on everyone that wronged him, but right now, his target is Khorne.
In the Indominous Crusade, Malice found out more about the inner workings of ALL factions, and decided to cool off for a moment, to form a defensive pact with... The Emperor of Mankind.

Does anybody know why Angron cannot be banished to Warp for periods longer than 8 weeks/8 days/8 hours (not caunting "cause Khorn's favourite numbers" ofc.)?
Is it somewhere clarified and I have missed it?
Also - if there was ever time for Kaldor Draigo to stop being plot-clad myth, it seems like decent occasion.
Cuz inactive.
Backstory
Freebots are robots that were created on the planet Koa, named after a Space Marine's friend, who was a Tau. That same Space Marine was named Yavin. Yavin was a less loyal soldier in the Imperium of Man. He saw that it was idiotic that they have to destroy all alien races till only man stands. He also was more into engineering but was denied to do so by the Imperium. He and his ship would enter the Realm of Tzeetch on a chase after a Tau battleship. When the ships crashed, the opposing sides fought on the ground in which their battle would have a third faction of Horrors of Tzeetch. After the battle, Yavin would meet his soon to be friend Koa, a Tau who was badly injured from an explosion, up to the point that his legs were gone. Rather than what a Space Marine would normally do, he brought him along believing that he and Koa would have a better chance of surviving with each other. And this would prove to be true. Despite going into one of Tzeetch's Champion's library, they would find a map out of Tzeetch's realm and gather a few books on the Chaos Gods themselves.
It should be noted that the two's destination was to go to the Tau home planet, where Koa would be welcomed and could defend his friend. Whereas if they went to Yavin's planet he would be called a Heretic and both would be killed on the spot.
Using the warp to get to their destination they found themselves in a warp storm where Yavin was attacked by one of the warp creatures and trying to save him, Koa died from the deamon. The warp storm got them off course and they crash landed on an unknown planet.
The planet was an arctic planet but it looked like a civilization had existed there. Yavin buried his friend in the snow and was basically ready to die. To him Koa felt like the only true brother to him then any other of his fellow Marines. But then he thought of something. He dug his friend up and took out his brain and put it into a container. He would begin to build his friend a body. Specifically a robot body. This is where he would remake his friend. But he stopped. He thought that his friend wouldn't want to live forever. He would want to rest and join what his friend called the greater good. Instead, he would copy his brain waves, this would give his creation Koa's personality but wouldn't make it the same person as Koa and wouldn't know about the Tau's life. He made his program to simply "live free". Hence why they call themselves Freebots.
With help of this Freebot and others, Yavin would treat them like his children. He would teach them the ways of the Imperium, the Tau and even teach them about some of the ways of the Chaos Gods. He also taught them how to fight(specifically with a gun) and taught them engineering. Engineering was and would be a basic knowledge.
Time Periods
During the first century, when Freebots weren't being taught by Yavin(who they called the Maker) or recharging, they often were making or playing games. From making vehicles to making video games to making even arena-like fights. These fights were done with remote control robots controlled by the Freebots called Avatars. Though it wasn't only enjoyment for the Freebots. Exploring the planet, the Freebots and Yavin found bodies of Space Marines, Tau and Orks as well as evidence of deamons. This planet was theorized to be a colonization site where the Imperium, Tau and Orks fought over but they don't know why there were any deamons. This, with the Freebots already having prior knowledge of these factions and them already making machines of war in any case, they made blueprints to create rings that would hide and defend the planet, however it wouldn't be fully built until the 6th century.
The 2nd century was a time of technological advancement and sorrow. During this time they had improved their Avatars, from using simple cables to link connection to the Freebot, they used a wireless connection for better maneuverability, they began researching Nanotechnology and they began to build spaceships. And a type of religion was beginning to take rise. From the maker’s teachings on Nurgle and the greater good, this religion, The Supreme Good, was mainly about doing good with whatever time has left for a Freebot. Most of the Freebots that were created by the maker had still been around during this time and they had no real average deceasement age. So as long as the Freebot isn't affected by outside forces it wouldn’t decease. This movement was meant to help the idea of righteousness and increase the spread of the idea of respecting alien races. Though that ideal was already embedded in Freebot culture, it was heightened by the Supreme Good. The movement became so big the Supreme Good would create the first wonder in Freebot history, the Temple of the Makers, where Koa and Yavin would be buried. The Maker, in his final days, saw them as a threat and a good thing. He saw that they could cause a fracture in the still united Freebot society. So his last words were “Live free and United.”. They stayed united until the 8th century.
From then to the 8th century nothing really happened. They kept making technological advancements(Nanobots(300s) and Orbital weapons(400s)) and kept making more and more Freebots. The factories making them didn’t really come up until the late 2nd century. The method of making these other Freebots was the same method the Maker used to make the Freebots but his creations took it a step further. When the Maker died, the Freebot took his brain and made Freebots using both Koa’s brain and Yavin’s. They also made many other options of starting personalities, via mixing the two’s brain waves. These factories often made other uses of entertainment. Their economy was digital money, with a computer to keep the economy from inflating or deflating. Their military is filled with Avatars as their first offense or defense. These Avatars are known to act less like disciplined warriors and more like people enjoying a game together(like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc62H_sT6rw&t=895s). This is due to them being near invincible due to the Nanobots constantly rebuilding the Freebot’s Avatar and due to the Freebot being in no real danger, being able to control the Avatar from the farthest reaches of the galaxy. This, while being overpowered, does have its drawbacks, for example these Avatars have been seen to often friendly fire one another, both purposefully and not purposely, or due to the fact the the Avatars can’t die and see fighting more like a game, there would and had been times where the two sides didn’t fight and instead…did anything but fight. If sending these Avatars don’t do anything, the military itself will come. Their military is technologically advanced however they are not as advanced as the Necrons. Their decisions are done by a President that the Freebots call the Masterboard. Unlike the Tau, the Freebots are capitalists and give their citizens a multitude of rights, like freedom of speech and religion, and don’t have a caste system. The only main event that happened to the Freebots was the creation of the Rings around their planet in the 6th century.
But during the 800s, their time to prepare for the universe they were created in was over. When they were finally discovered by an Imperium colonization team…when they crashed into the Rings, news quickly spread throughout the galaxy. Knowing that the other races would soon know of their existence, they revealed themselves, turning off the Rings. Immediately, the Freebots had made good relations with the Tau and Eldar. They also help the Eldar repel any Imperium or Dark Eldar attacks. They also made treaties with the Orks and Khorne about their nanotech, these treaties benefiting them rather than the Freebots. They kept a close eye on the Necrons with their reality manipulating technology. But other than this their relations with the Necrons were neither negative nor positive. With all these treaties and alliances, the Imperium took notice. The main idea for the Freebots was to spite the Imperium in several ways, so the Imperium would see them as independent to them, because Yavin did warn about Imperium’s reaction to talent, free will and xenophobia. But the Freebot’s plan had the opposite effect. Not only did the Imperium attack the Freebots for the several things they did to spite them but they also saw them as property due to them being built by one of their own. The Imperium declared war on Koa. What you need to know about the Freebots is that they weren't an empire and thus had only one planet. Panic took over Koa. They didn’t have a military alliance with either the Tau or Eldar, though they planned to, their execution was in its infancy. This would cause them to go for less likable and predictable options--specifically turning to the Chaos gods. The government was at first against turning against their creators warnings but they knew they needed the biggest gun out there and couldn’t really violate the religious freedoms of Koa. Though the most destructive Chaos god, Khorne, didn’t really corrupt any Freebots, the other factions did get a foothold. Nurgle got support mostly from the Supreme Good, those looking to see if there was a way to cause resurrection to the living inanimate inorder to make a kind of plague or virus that could make the Freebots live after death in case the Imperium came and invaded and perhaps spread it to the Necron. But the main cults were Slaanesh and Tzeetch. These two sides accumulated many protesters that often turned to violence mobs. Now the Imperium saw this as an opportunity to let turmoil slowly whittle the extremely advanced race of rogue robots. However, this turmoil would later end with the Freebots picking a Chaos god.
Now I haven’t picked a Chaos god yet but I’m thinking that these guys would pick Slaanesh. Now I know it would be odd, due to them being robots and not able to feel…certain pleasures…but there would be a reason for this. It might be logical that they’d pick Tzeetch because Tzeetch would give them knowledge and a majority if not all are capable of engineering(it's practically a part of their culture) but Slaanesh would give them “happiness”(I put this in quotes because I don’t think it would be quite happiness…just masochism and addiction.To be honest I think if the Maker/Yavin knew that they would eventually turn to Chaos he’d write in his will saying “DON’T TRUST SLAANESH!”.)But the Freebots would see that as them exercising their primary goal:to live free(The offer, not the masochism and addiction. If they saw that they’d have second thoughts). I also thought it’d be partly because the Masterbourd wants the Freebots to live happy and would pick Slaanesh for obvious reasons. Now this decision would cause a civil war due to other Freebots either following Tzeetch, Nurgle or even wanted to stay neutral in the affair of gods and wanted the government to make an alliance with the Tau or Eldar. I thought that story would take the POV of a Freebot general who escaped the Slaanesh turning government of Koa and lived to be one of the leaders of the Tau/Eldar supporting Freebots(I thought that this revolution would be backed by the people they’re support but I dunno).
Questions
WOW! That was a LOT of writing and even with the program I’m working with, not very good writing. This took about a week to make this so I would like to know what exactly I got wrong here. Whether it be spelling errors, lore problems and questions or criticisms on the plot. I have some questions about relations with other races: Like the Orks and Khorne. Would they see the Freebots trying to make the combat from being one sided and also see them as trying to be honorable or would they see this as them trying to taunt them? Do you think that Tzeetch would be a better option and why? If you think Slaansh would be the best option, what would happen to the Freebots and their world? Would the Tau and Eldar be into this fight? Are the Eldar good or are both Dark and normal Eldar bad?(I’m only a month into the Warhammer universe)
I've been trying to write the backstory for my Khorne Daemonkin army, but I've hit a roadblock, their ultimate fall to Khorne.
Would a Chaos God ever appear in some form, even just as a vision, to someone who has begun to fall, someone who they believe could make a worthy champion, and who they believe may be of use to them?

I honestly had no idea what to really title this, but I wanted a bit of insight on this.
Khorne, is of course the Blood God, the lord of war, murder, wrath, etc. But yet, he is also the god associated with honor and courage. While few would aspire to the former, more well known aspects of him realistically, many people even in our world would and do aspire to be honorable and courageous.
Obviously Chaos is corrupting, but... My question is, could there be those who come to worship him for his more virtuous aspects? And if so, are there any known examples?

1 . The red man. An elite imperial guardsman that was taken to be screwed up by the adeptus mechanicus. But in the process, he woke up. His body can fire special rays. His gear includes a knife , a spear and a las gun. He was really blessed by the omnissiah and the machine spirits really loves him.As all rng that isn’t in his favour has 0% chance of happening and rng that isn’t always happen. All odds are in his favour and he has a crap ton of luck. After defeating some space marines, khorne thinks he is cool so he gained some blessings from him. He then went to the eye of terror and was never seen again. Yes it’s a myth in 40k, yes, he probably was killed in a dramatic fight against sly Marbo, moving on.
The second one was another legend. A warp spirit. Not many things except his feats go from holding his own against a newbie space marine to destroying 120 5000 years old + dreadnaughts(imperator class titans in some materials) easily. He still lives, just stuck in the warp.

Nurgle is just comical, but I think the khorne is for their famous quote “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!”
