More like Slaanesh. Khorne is more of a dark red, brass kind of guy.

I don't have the novels or the games, (Found out about 40K in EG Magazine when Dawn of War came out, most of my knowledge comes from the wikis or from friends who do play the games) but I'm sure that something like that would be on the wikis!
There's a few passing mentions in the Dawn of War games to Tau setting up "re-education camps" and killing resisting civilians.

Just out of curiosity, would Connor go apeshit if he saw this?

Some fans seemed pissed off that the 5th Edition was presenting the Imperium on a very sharp decline. The Fall of Ultramar could very well be penned by GW if they wanted to and, somehow, it would not surprise me much, although they'd have to keep the humans still fierce enough to offer a complete gaming picture. That said, it would probably not wait the 42nd Millennium.
That said, due to the size of the Tau, it could disappear just as fast if one of the major forces focused much more power against them specifically.
The Tau were put into WH40K probably to give the game a race that's closer to typical SF we get served with: sleek and solid designs, feeling futuristic, japanized and so on. The Tau clearly fill a niche and I feel that we will not see them loose power nor representation.
