Also the Chaos gods are wasteful by their very nature while the Emperor is anything but & would get more out his resources than they do. On top of that  the Chaos gods fight among themselves constantly & only unite grudgingly for short periods which reduces their effectiveness even more. The Chaos gods call the Emperor the Anathema - a living bane to their very existence - for a reason & he is quite possibly the only being in the universe, or the warp, that they actually fear. What is this whole warp-power redistribute nonsense? The Chaos Gods are only empowered by a part if the warp? What? Where did you read that? The Chaos Gods have also the souls of their dead servants, just so you know. And they have existed way before the Emperor took over Terra. And how exactly are the Chaos Gods wasteful? The Emperor would get more out of his resources than they do? I find that hard to understand.

Yes, the Chaos Gods do find among themselves, but that is the whole point. They are called CHAOS GODS, not unity gods. And even then, they can unite and become a real threat to their enemies. Horus Heresy anyone? And how exactly does uniting against a common enemy reduces your effectiveness? I don't get it.

Actually, no. The Emperor is not the only being that they fear. You also have the Yncarne, the Avatar of Ynnead.

Quote: ''At their fore was the Yncarne, a revenant creature so inimical to Chaos that the stuff of the Empyrean could not slow it. Even the Gods of Chaos did not look upon the creature directly; the incarnation of Ynnead’s essence was so anathema to them they could not truly perceive it, even had they known where to look.''
