    The Emperor was to become the Dark King, was ascending to become a chaos god during the fights on the Vengeful Spirit at the Siege of Terra, because he thought it to be necessary so he could defeat Horus. However, he was confronted and talked out of it by Ollanius Persson, Garviel Loken and John Grammaticus. Luetin09 published a good essay about this.

    Vashtorr (two ‘r’ because Vashtor with a single ‘r’ is a Salamander Space Marine) is a Daemon, not a god.

    The Greater Good isn’t an entity, it’s the founding principle of Tau society. I’ve read about a psychic manifestation of this, but since Tau are said not to be psychically perceptible in any way (unlike humans who are almost all at least latent psykers)(although ethereals are rumered to use a psychic gift to rule over Tau), a Tau warp entity is highly unlikely. There are rumors but no evidence. And even if Tau’va was a warp entity, that wouldn’t make it a chaos god.
