The Fall predates the Heresy by ~2000 years, not 200, and it was the relative calm in the after-birth of Slaanesh that allowed the Great Crusade to begin. Prior to this time, the Warp was so tumultuous that traveling from one system to another was next to impossible.
The Necrons, Ork and Eldar are each 60 million years old, as races go, making them the oldest races of the galaxy.

The Eye of Terror being the epicenter of the 'explosion' of Warp Energy from Slaanesh's birth is news to me that wasn't mentioned in the last codex. otherwise i didn't see anything supporting the 'Slaaneh's birth/ the Eldar's fall paved the way for the Great Crusdae' claim. On that same note it doesn't support mine either. I just think it's a plausible conclusion to draw because Eldar or not a Chaos God being born would have psychic backlash for psykers across the galaxy i would think, Navigators and Astropath's included.
That's quoted in the bit about the start of the Great Crusade, which is quoted from the Warhammer Compendium, page 20.
Navigators pre-date the Great Crusade by many thousands of years, dating at least as far back as M22.

Linear time does not exist in the Warp. Every moment that ever has been, is, and will ever be, exists as part of the contiguous whole of the Immaterium.

Quantum Khorne is a thing, too. As is Quantum Tzeentch, Nurgle, Necoho (the Chaos God of Atheism), Malal/Malice, Zuvassin, and whatever other Chaos Gods you want to come up with...
... oh, and let us not forget the Horned Rat, the Chaos God of Skaven who gives not one ratty feth about humans or anything that isn't a Skaven.

That's because 40K has been all about the Great Four for thirty-some years now. Malal/Malice really is a Fantasy thing, never a big 40K thing.
But there's nothing stopping you from building a CSM army that takes some units that are otherwise keyed to other gods and renaming them to something Malaly. Name the Bloodletters "Brass Myrmidons" or something and, bang, you have Malal armies. Shoot, paint your CSM in black and white checkers and call them Malal's Marauders.
