Cliffnotes from the Chaos Gods lore article in WD 514 by Phil Kelly and Andy Clark:
>-The Great Horned Rat has long been disdained by the other Elemental Gods for being such a treacherous tryhard. Thanks to the Hour of Ruin and his deal with Archaon, the Great Horned Rat was elevated to being one of the Great Powers of Chaos, sitting on the same table as the Four.
>-Hashut is not an elemental god. He is actually an ascended god, meaning he was once a mortal. He achieved divinity a long time ago. Hashut has the ambition to become an elemental god and be considered a true Chaos God, one of the Great Powers of Chaos. However, his chances of that are much lower than the Great Horned Rat's.
>-Hashut has no presence in 40K, but he is aiming for the same spot as Vashtorr in the Chaos Pantheon.
>-The Warp represents not only the ultimate damnation of mankind but the annihilation of real space itself and the horrific demise of every living creature in it. Chaos is the ultimate nemesis of all living things. The coming of the Great Rift heralds the dissolution of reality and the Chaos Gods getting what they want for all eternity.
>--Across all Warhammer settings, the Chaos Gods are the ultimate antagonists. In 40K, for example, the core story has always been and will ever be the Imperium vs Chaos.
>-Long before humanity evolved, the horrors of the Warp were involved in the War in Heaven and brought a horrible end to the Aeldari Empire. Time in the Warp is not linear. Explaining how the rules of time and existence work in the Warp is pointless and will only result in insanity. To sum it up, the Chaos Gods are eternal. Slaanesh, for example, existed for millennia before the Fall. So the Chaos Gods have always been and will always be the greatest threat to every living thing in the galaxy.
