Background Story
Nekros Skullcrusher was the loyal second to Zuluhed the Whacked, chieftain of the Dragonmaw clan, and was entrusted as both warden of the dragonqueen Alexstrasza and wielder of the Demon Soul that held her prisoner.
In his youth, Nekros had shown promise as an apprentice shaman, and his master Zuluhed had held hopes for him. After the Dragonmaw clan joined the nascent Horde, Nekros became a warlock instead, but never joined with the Shadow Council when faced between being loyal to Gul'dan or his clan. Nekros never cared for his dark, magical calling. He fled from the warlock ranks, returning to his warrior ways. But his duty to his clan, and himself, demanded that he saddle his burden, especially after a human knight deprived him of half a leg. Now having a peg leg, he was barely able to move around his base. His weapon was known as the [Scepter of Nekros Skullcrusher].
At the beginning of the Second War, Nekros acted as Zuluhed's second-in-command and was among those whom Zuluhed took to Redridge's mountains to find an artifact from his vision. They found a cave with a golden disc, guarded by the red dragon Orastrasz. Zuluhed and his clan fell upon the dragon. Many orcs fell to the dragon, but they eventually killed him. Zuluhed then ordered the clan's greatest warlock, Nekros, to recover the artifact. He renamed it to the Demon Soul. Zuluhed left it with Nekros to unravel its secrets, and when the Horde was nearing completion of building the ships to cross to Lordaeron, Nekros unlocked the secrets of the artifact with the help of Deathwing's visions. Alexstrasza sensed something was wrong so she headed south of Lordaeron. After witnessing the Horde's attack on Khaz Modan, she found the artifact in the hands of the orcs and together with her fellow dragons descended on the orcs. Unbeknownst to her, Nekros learned from his vision how to unleash Demon Soul's true power and subjugate Alexstrasza, which the orc did. With Alexstrasza injured and fallen from the sky, the orcs swarmed her and bound her in chains. The other dragons tried to help her, but Nekros kept using the artifact, until they saw he was hurting her, effectively subjugating the remaining dragons as well.
Nekros became her warden in Grim Batol, using the Demon Soul to inflict unimaginable pain on her whenever she did not cooperate. When she tried to starve herself, he shattered an egg before her which forced her to return to cooperation with the orc.
Nekros continually abused her, both mentally and physically, especially after the Second War, when she became the only real weapon the Old Horde had against the Alliance. Tyranastrasz, whom Nekros thought to have been her last living consort, was also being held captive with her, but was slowly dying after he contracted a fatal ailment while imprisoned by the Orcs. Nekros knew he would soon have no further means of producing more red dragon eggs to aid the Horde's fight against the Alliance.
Nekros was tricked by Deathwing into moving Alexstrasza into the open. Deathwing's own plan was to steal the red dragonflight eggs in the confusion. Alexstrasza was freed by her consort Korialstrasz, and the first thing she did was dispose of Nekros, swallowing him whole and alive.

Incredibly useful model.
It would be nice if he has a chaos/fel version as well
(some spikes, burning green eyes, red skin)

Would it be possible to upload the dragon models here in Hive? That'd be awesome

I don't really care but if @BaiyuGalan said that this model is from GAQ, why don't yall just go and ask GAQ instead of the one who uploaded/commissioned a completely different model?
That is a Hive account, if you have an account here, you should be able to message that one.

Because, and here's my 2 cents:
1. BaiyuGalan tends to upload screenshots (as lovely nods as they are to the lore) of the models he uploaded with other models that are not seen at all on Hive, other example being screenshot of mounted Arthas model in Dar'Khan model page. So you can understand the confusion of whether the model like Alexstrasza is either his or it belongs to someone else.
2. I noticed that GAQ has his dragon models sitting for six years on the chinese website, and he has been a hive member for four years. I know the dude is not obligated to upload his models on Hive, but you'd think he'd have done that after all this time, instead of finding out about the dragon model in the Nekros model page of all places. So what can people do but ask BaiyuGalan about the model uploads, since GAQ is apparently not bothering to grace the Hive with his models.

There is a '点一下' in the upper right corner. Then enter your email. Next, you only need to leave a comment to download the model.
This website has many users from other countries. I don't think the difficulty is too high. Just need to prepare translation tools.
This is not my model. obvious. I am not qualified to upload it. Even if I wanted to. Hive wouldn't allow me to do that either.Would it be possible to upload the dragon models here in Hive? That'd be awesome
I completely agree with your viewpoint.
GAQ has many old models. I think he's just too lazy to upload. You can ask him if he can upload it.
Generally speaking. The models that cannot be seen on Hive. Either from other websites. For example, GA and XGM. It could also be some models sent to me by private individuals. For example, paladinjst, stein123, Sarsaparilla, and many more people you don't know......
