It's worth nothing about the 3 minor chaos gods that the traitor marines pay respect to by putting spikes in their armour. There parodies of names from the original creators of chaos back then, now if say adding them to the list we already have 8 in total but IF GW decide to expand on them the 3 minor gods are one of the same a "3 in 1" God as the "center" of the star being the creators of chaos.

Now traits for a new chaos God will be limited greed is a facet of pleasure and despair is the fear of the inevitable giving up all hope is a facet associated with Nurgle and hunger for power is a subject of change to something else e.a tzeentch.

Traits that are pleasing for a new chaos God must be on a different context that does not intersect from the 4, such as fear of the purest form that "might" reveal itself at the end times.

Lastly by diving in long lost lore of forbidden knowledge of the Old world (WHFB) there is 7 chaos gods in total with the 8 that "might" reveal itself at the end times. I know this is not cannon but the idea of 8 gods of chaos is not far fetch rather it's already done back then. If only THEY expand the lore of 40k a bit more.
