I'm sure they had some influence, how measurable, dunno?
But they would be working on much longer timescales(even tho they don't perceive time linearly) than "currently"(cicatrix maledictum). They may also have a "life cycle", needing to be fertilized, gestate, be born, mature, decay. They may all be doing each of those simultaneously?
I really like the lore when you go into these kind of rabbit holes.

Because Warp.
Yet it's generally understood that once a Warp God is destroyed, it can no longer act.
Because Warp.
I mean Cegorach & Isha survived the fall but all the others didnt. Would that Include proto-Ynnead? Even if they're supposed to be from the infinity circuits, that imprint would be in the warp just not gestated?
The warp is weird, but if both of the above are true, it really becomes interesting when you factor in how/what BiggiE's relationship is with it.
If you follow the reincarnated psyker souls theory, did he really need to trick them into giving him more power or was he already that powerful but his presence in the warp wasnt?
Since we dont have a ton of info on the War in Heaven and if
GW wants to leave those hanging, we may never know
