She uh...doesn't. Last we traveled with her she preferred to use an ordinary boarding axe instead of the magic sword of kill

Im not sure if she has much trust in magic swords.

As I understood it dwarf magic just took the winds and distilled them down into a simpler, more stable form? Either way, I'm not saying it's necessarily wrong to trust dwarf magic over Wind magic, just, you know, On a reasonable scale, not the dogmatic and religious stance of inherent wrongness that happens to have a single exception.

On a much smaller scale than the ideas being thrown around: we could get Runed handguns.
The problem Boney has with stacking up more magic items is that the more equipment we have, the more he has to keep track of and remember. But we already have guns, so he's already keeping track of them anyway. Making those guns runed doesn't meaningfully increase the amount of stuff he has to keep track of.
We won't get as much for our favours as we would on a melee weapon, but since we're coming up against the soft cap on more equipment and we're about to be inundated with Favour anyway...

Anyway, I think the ideas I like best so far are "learn their version of Khazalid" and "set up a mechanism for regular collaboration between College enchanters and Karaz Ankor runepriests."

Are you sure you don't want to add "runic gun" to that? We have so few of those.

Eh, rune guns feels kinda below the scope of this matter, in my opinion. Like, sure, it would be really cool and nice, but we have plenty of regular favor to spend on that without trying to split this big thing up. We already had too much to spend as it was.

We're getting a shitload of favour, but it's not like Belegar's Transcendent Boon. There's nothing stopping us from splitting it up.

Everyone is losing their minds over all the Runesmiths favor, but here I am, reading this:
And firming my resolve to campaign for Theurgy.
Sigmar's cult has as one of its key beliefs that dwarves are cool, the dogmatic and religious instance would be treating it as special even if it wasn't.

It's pretty solidly what I want to do next after AV.
We'll also have a shitton of college favor to burn with Queekish. Or maybe it'll count as a Great Deed, it wouldn't be out of scope. Or maybe we'll finally get enough hadpats to evolve.
We don't have to burn it all on one thing.

Sure, but we've also got a shitload of Karaz Ankor favor that we're not using and can be spent on anything, not just what the Runesmiths can do. It just feels a bit wasteful is all.
Hey, I'm right there with you. Just kinda got distracted for a bit.
I understand that, it's mainly just that I have an issue with religious hypocrisy, even if in this one instance it actually is justified.

See guys? my machine told ya we had to eat Kragg. But noooo, we were too late, and now we have to eat Thorek, nd he doesn't even taste half as good.
Using runesmith favor for runes is probably more efficient than Dwarf Favor, because it has to filter through the layers. Using Empire Favor for magic items would be more expensive than College Favor too.
You keep the best for last, obviously.

What's the next evolution in the Mathilde line?
Lord Mathilde. With the potential for a temporary mega evolution into Matriarch Mathilde.

Wouldn't the mega evolution be Supreme Matriarch? Besides, why would we ever want to become Matriarch and have to manage an entire organization? It's much more fun to run around causing havoc, making armies implode, and completely rewrite how magic works every once in a while.

Probably evil, unfortunately.

You can also evolve her into Necro-Mathilde by having the rest of the team faint while she holds the Liber Mortis, but considering she comes with the 'Escalating Insanity' ability almost everybody agrees the power boost isn't worth it.
Supreme Matriarch is still a Matriarch, innit? And that's why it's temporary evolution.
Mathilde is the evee of wizards. Collect them all!

Maybe? I don't know. To put it into perspective, I've got a very mobile game currency sense from this. You know, where you've got the one normal currency, and then a special currency, and while you can technically buy regular, everyday stuff with the special currency it would be a total waste since there's some things you can only get with the special currency. Or something. I don't know, my bedtime's in a few hours, so if that's too incoherent just don't mind me.
Nah, we've got immunity to the escalating insanity, remember? It's the immediate hostility to everyone around you bit that scares people.
Oh, I totally get it. I wrote an omake about that a while ago.

I'd suggest asking the Runespriests to give extra attention to under-Ubersreik. Dwarves are going to be building and fortifying the place, but what if we got Thorek to spend a year there laying out defenses? Runes that detect tunneling, that make breaking certain walls harder, that perfectly light up whole areas, whatever Dwarves usually use against Skaven. Make it as longlasting and high-quality as possible within the available time!

At this point, that's probably already been taken care of.
