Ok... so here we have 3 subjects: God of Fear, the 8 Gods and Malice.

Let's start with the God of "Fear". Each Chaos God has several aspects of their area of interest: Khorne - War, Violence, Bloodshed, Honour and Rage. Tzeentch - Schemes, Deception, Sorcery, Fate and Change. Nurgle - Death, Destruction, Decay, Diseases and Pestilence. Slaanesh - Pleasure, Luxury, Pain, Inspiration and Perfection. Malice - Anarchy, Nihilism and Treachery.

And this entity will be just god of fear? That's it? Only one aspect? That's not much. He will need to have aspects that are associated with fear. And what is that? Dread? God of fear and dread? There just not enough aspects to create such entity that would be entirely different from the other gods.

Curze as a god of fear is also not a very interesting idea. A dead Primarch who turned to be a god of fear? really? Nope... not good enough. I'm more interested in what happened to his body rather than what happened to his spirit.

The "8" Gods. Again, there won't be any 3 new chaos gods. The eight fold path is just a name, not an indication for something. The same example can be taken from the Grey Knights. A funny joke, why are they called the Grey Knights if their armour is the colour of silver? Artistic's licence! That's it! The same is with the Chaos star and it's name! The symbol itself was not created by the GW to indicate that their will be 8 chaos gods. It was just taken from the old culture. The symbol of Chaos (the eight pointed star) is an old symbol from the ancient times. Google the word chaos and ( beside the images of the GW's star of chaos) you will find various other images of the symbol of Chaos.

Don't except any new gods that will show up during the end times, there won't be any.

The Outcast God - I don't know where you took the idea of devouring everything, but that doesn't necessarily needs to be applied towards Malal. First, his name is Malal, since Malice is a word for malevolence, spite, devilry and so on...

He is minor since he is not as powerful as the other Chaos gods, and yes, also because his nature is different. Like I said, I don't think that he will "devour" everything, though I would want to see him in action.
