The one who is going to win this is The Emperor. And there are several reasons for that. I tend to agree.

As a god of the warp, Khorne is extremely powerful and is impervious to even high-level psyker attacks. But he is probably vulnerable to psyker attacks that are even stronger.

The Emperor of mankind is the most powerful psyker in existence. While humanity's belief in the Emperor empowers him considerably, the true source of his power comes from The Emperor himself.

He is one of the oldest beings in existence. In his 50,000 years, he has learned much, and gained incomprehensibly great wisdom. His sheer knowledge fuels a great portion of his power. But what truly sets him apart is his life and his humanity. He has been on great adventures and bared witness to incredible wonders. He has seen humanity at its worst, and at its best alike. And through it all...

what kept him moving forward was the amalagam of his willpower, compassion, loyalty, dedication, and courage.

That's why Chaos entities such as Tzeench can never hope to match his power. The virtues and attributes that fuel the Emperor's power, are actually toxic to Chaos.

But then again...

while his psyker power is limitless, his physical capabilities have very real limitations. That's why he relies on machines when doing battle. It's also why Horus was able to nearly kill him.

So, if the fight with Khorne was purely physical, The Emperor wouldn't stand a chance.
