the  old ones 'broke' warp-space 64,000,000 years ago which allowed psychic energy to coalesce in the warp into daemonkind, and i can believe that nurgle was the 1st to mature into a chaos god, what with all the suffering being inflicted on everyone during the war in heaven.

although it's mentioned on this wiki that khorne birthed during terra's middle-ages i find that tricky to believe because surely khorne have been in a race with nurgle to be the 1st, what with all the war and violent death that abounded at the time.

i agree with the idea that the fall of the eldar was most likely slaanesh's ascension to full-on god-hood, rather than him being 'born' as an entity.

as for tzeentch, i would think that he ought to be as old as, if not older than, nurgle. maybe he was the very 1st warp entity to attain self-conciousness, and tzeentch being tzeentch he immediatly started scheming which resulted in the old ones attemting to harness warp-space and they ended up breaking it, which allowed daemonkind access to the material-realm.......exactly as tzeentch intended :P
