The reason I believe their is no chaos god of fear is because it is still forming in the warp. As I have mentioned in other posts I believe that their will be 8 chaos gods because of the symbol of the 8 pointed star & credo of the eight fold path. We only have 5 chaos gods at the moment but that could just mean that the other 3 are still in formation & will emerge sometime in the future.

Now these 3 embryonic gods will represent different aspects than that of the current 5 chaos gods & fear will most likely be one of those. In fact I would not be surprised if 1 of the nascent chaos gods emerges during the upcoming end times event that has been rumored. If this happened the trait it represents would most likely be fear though other possible traits could be - Greed, Despair, vindictive spite, hunger for power etc. I have also put out the thought that a new chaos god of fear may have as a major part of it's being the soul of Konrad Curze - now that would be an interesting development.
