Yeah, pretty much. The Chaos Gods, the Emperor and the C'tan pre shattered form are the single most powerful entities in the 40k universe (not counting the Tyranid Hive Mind since it's outside the galaxy right now and Gork/Mork are too busy fighting each other to care about anything else) and are roughly in "Oh crap that's a God with a capital G" power levels. Slaanesh is the youngest and weakest and he was able to annnihlate the Eldar gods. Admittedly they were kind of weakened by the lack of worship from the Eldar, but still, they were all killed and effectively eaten by him.

I call Slaanesh a "him" because it's just convinent for me, technically speaking daemons (the Chaos gods included" don't have genders since they aren't actually physical beings and so have no need for them aside from maybe Slaaneshi daemons for obvious reasons.

It's a theory (a game theory!) that the Emperor will die around the same time the last of the Eldar do, and the combined forces of what's left of the Emperor and the combined masses of the Eldar race's souls will combine to form Ynnead, a composite deity powerful enough to face off against the Chaos gods and set off the end of the 40kverse.
