the chaos gods feeds and grows on emotions, and khorne is the god of battle. and in the grim darkness of the future, there is only war. so he gets rather feed (even tho he never gets full) from every single battle that is fought in the universe and the warp. and he gets alot of followers that way.

nurgle is the oldest but not the strongest despair, and rebirth. lots of it, but not as much as there is war. but many follow him because he is cosy and nice little grandfather nurgle.

slaanesh younges one pain, suffering, pleasure and so on lots of in this with every single hive world beeing the lamest/darkest place in the universe for normall humans they would then be easily tempted to worship a god who gives them pleasure and some color to their misrable life.

tzeentch third to be born  knowledge, change, warp powers and mutations. in fantasy warhammer all the gods pay extra respect to him since he is the only one who can bestow their gifts to their followers since he controls all magic. here in the future i have not heard of such things so he looses some there. so here he dont get that much followers since all the humans have some "sceptism" about warp magic so it mostly goes to the knowledge hungry factions who have little care for their mutating looks.

malal/malice chaos god of anarchy, only the last ditch madmen follow this fellah so therfor he dont get that strong in the physical world, but in the warp i think he is mighty strong, but not enough to take down the big four since they all hate him so would the take him down united. he is the most "chaos" chaos god since he is the purest of madnes and anarchy. (btw he has a own forum post if you want to discus him :P)
