WS 7 feels too high.
The Empire has one- Kurt Helborg, Reiksmarshal of the Empire.
Mathilde is actually very very good with a sword. 7 might be a bit too high, but 6 is probably about right. I'll update it.
Hmm. You're thinking BS 5 then? I chose to represent the teleportation part of Branulhune with the unable to parry rule. At least for now. Maybe if she masters it give a rule that reduces enemy WS?
I've fixed that. I noticed when I was typing up this reply.
I think Mathilde is closer to BS4 actually, She's learnt how to shoot guns in about 2 actions from Jungfreud's training and then never practiced it with an action ever again. She's good, but she focuses all her martial abilities on Sword fighting and uses guns for emergencies.
Mathilde is a master swordswoman, not a grandmaster swordswoman. Grand masters are WS6, as per here:
Honestly, it'd probably be good to change it from "all Ulgu spells" to just MMM. It'd be more accurate at least.
The cheating style has not yet been perfected.
Rite of Way could be a unique spell that Mathilde knows, which also benefits from the Staff. But that depends on if you want to implement it or not.
Yet being the operative word. But we're also half way there now. So yea, WS 5, with the possibility to add reroll to hit rolls in the future.
Well, AFAIK ws 7 in humans is rare but not impossible.
Agreed. However I feel the need to clarify an assumption @Codex had that it was impossible
I put regular human as a qualifier. Grail Knights are, technically, Divine Touched. So are Valten and Karl Franz Ascendant. Kurt is the only one in your list who could be refered to as regular, since as far as I know he hasn't been touched by magic, practiced the sword for hundreds of years, or is the avatar of a God/blessed by a god.

Since you're here and you're more familiar with WH material than I am, can you tell me what's up with Tamurkhan the book? I'm trying to research the details behind its creation, but there is no page that gives me any reasonable information that isn't just the contents of the book. I tried looking up the author, and all I'm getting is his incredibly long line of Warhammer 40k works. Tamurkhan also seems entirely restricted to just this book? How canon is its contents? I'm a bit confused and there's no wikipedia page on the book itself, only on what it contains.
I'm really not an expert on this stuff, but I can tell you it's a Forgeworld book* that was planned to be the first in a set of 4 (or longer) before GW canned the whole thing and started up the End Times.
Well, I am not sure whether or not bretonnian virtues are magical in nature. If they are not, it means that regular humans can get to ws 8 as one can have a bretonnian lord with that vurtie who is only a knight of the realm.
What's questionable about it?
If we're talking canon like I'm considering, it's that I don't even know where to put Tamurkhan in this list:
It's not an Army Book or a 2E RPG book. Elspeth is canon to the quest but that doesn't mean everything in the book is canon to it. It's like Boney picking out Elementalism and Gazul up from earlier editions, I don't know whether Boney read it and is willing to incorporate its contents.
Probably tier 3. It's from 8th edition.
End Times had 5 Volumes, and they included a ton of characters, some of which they forgot to include their endings in the books so they took to Twitter to answer questions about their deeds and deaths (Skarsnik's death, Settra killing Kholek), and they never mentioned anything about Tamurkhan and its contents? Sounds like the GW staff didn't read the book, or didn't consider it worth their attention enough to give out a line about the characters that were involved in it.
I have no idea on the ultimate source, but the 1d4chan list of character deaths in the End Times has entries for Sayl the Faithless, Drazhoath the Ashen, and Elspeth.
I can't even access 1D4chan anymore. Don't even know why. But unsourced claims are...questionable at best, especially with those guys.
It was removed from google results.
I wouldn't, the chans aren't just ban'd a lot because of content, but because they are often infested with malware.
