You know, originally the Chaos Gods were said to have been born at the end of the War in Heaven, due to the emotional upheaval caused by so many deaths. Similarly, the shaky gestation of Slaanesh and the Fall of the Eldar was supposed to have happened millions of years ago, after the Eldar had raised to dominance once the Old Ones died out and the Necrons went to bed. In that version, the Warp storms of the Age of Strife were caused by the uncontrolled human psykers' sudden appearance and activity across the galaxy, and the Emperor somehow knew when they were supposed to end. Imo, this makes more sense than saying the Chaos Gods were born from the feelings of a small non-psychic (back then) race in their Middle Age xD
