    Excellent painting. Good to see Death Guard armor that, while corrupted, is not rusted to uselessness. On a side note, "Lords of Silence" is a great book for getting a look into the perspective of a Death Guard warband.

    The mythos is thousands of years old so I may be wrong, but Beelzebub may have been the Hebrew nomenclature for the Canaanite God "Ba'al". Ba'al was just some sort of agricultural God, not necessarily evil, similar to the Hebrew Yahweh. The Hebrews didn't like the competition and called Ba'al Beelzebub to slight him, as Lord of the Flies. I think it was them basically calling him shit because that's what flies like, and the Hebrews were not tolerant of other faiths, even being commanded to kill them in some instances.

    Since even ancient Egyptian history and culture are measured in thousands of years I would not use "much later" words. Old testament is also ancient, and it was still produced in ancient times (and definitely influenced by Egyptian mythology). It is just that Bible "ancient" comes in the later "ancient" Egypt, which was already thousands of years old at this point. So not "after", but rather "quite late" and maybe non representative of thousands of years before it in any way.

    Lord of the Flies by William Golding could also be an inspiration. In the novella the Lord of the Flies is a hog‘s head impaled on a spear enveloped by a cloud of flies. It symbolizes the boys‘ decent into savagery and their simultaneous loss of civilization/humanity. This could be related to the Death Guard‘s fall from humanity to chaos, which is a similar descent from civilization to savagery :)
