I'm actually running a dark heresy campaign, but the foul horrors of chaos are sometimes quite lovecraftian. So what words are some of your favorite to describe the horrors from beyond?
And maybe... what do they mean?
I kinda like Lothesome as a descriptor but I'm trying to think of a way to describe how wrong the chaos tainted language might sound. And how they might experience their brain boiling away if they try to understand it.
For the emperor!

You should read Shoggoth's Old Peculiar, a short story by Neil Gaiman. There's a whole discussion of HP Lovecraft's literary style, it reminded me of your post
well you could go the route of the lovecraft quote i have in my signature. dont describe much of anything. leave them in suspense.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

Hmm, I would have to say eldritch or noisome. Non-Euclidean is a good one too, especially for the 40K Demons.

People I know are quite adversive to the words "Moist" and "Taint". 
this thread is ghastly, macabre and shockingly repellent .
"Flopped" sounds quite yucky and unsettling IMO.
"Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us." Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol
I always liked how environments were "basalt" and "cyclopean". Feels tall and unsettling.

I'd go for the obligatory 'unfathomable' and 'ululation' :D
what is the name of these fantastic trees you've got here?
What about 'silence'?
It is always there just before havoc is unleashed!...

How about 'blood curdling'? I'm not sure what curdling is exactly, but I know for a fact I don't want my blood to start doing it.
