In my opinion there are only a few Chaos things sufficiently powerful to utterly destroy a being. (Well, a few powerful things and one apparantly weak thing: the disease Soul Waste.)

To utterly destroy a person requires that they be not just physically annihilated (which your gorp does most adequately) but that they be returned to the Chaos flux outside the world and disolved. The demons and devils of the God War could do this and so can the few things that survive from that time.

Umm, the Bat? The Chaos Hydra? The Mother of Monsters? (Maybe.) But not your average broo. Unless he can call up the Vortex spell and throw you into that of course. Heh. Heh.
