Ya, I didn't think that through :/

Why would Eike worship the Ancestor Gods?
I would have put Mor or Khaine in that spot

I'd have gone with Handrich, just to annoy Mathilde.
Because she is an Imperial. Southern Imperial worship was influenced by the dwarfs and while outright worship of their Ancestor Gods (as opposed to the more general concept of Ancestor Worship) is uncommon it's not unheard of.

Bit odd that she might worship a clan of ninja rats or vampires, but you can't say it wouldn't be a surprising plot hook!

Because this is a Dwarf quest
I wanted to put "the dusk rider" somewhere there, but it occurred to me after i posted.
It's because he doesn't need it, he is literally the chad of the gods.

Soooo.
If the god roll was 2d6 (with more probable results meaning more standard religious beliefs) then Eike is probably Sigmarite (I would expect him to be 6-8 on the roll).
If the god roll was only first d6 (with smaller results meaning more standard religious beliefs) and the second one was intensity or heterodoxy then Eike is still probably Sigmarite (1 is certainly Sigmar, but his faith is so big that he is probably 1-2 or even 1-3, not just 1) and either zealous or very unorthodox/heretical.
Although I may be pleasantly surprised with 2 being Ulric (second-most important Empire faith) or Morr (Stirland local favorite).
Edit: Wait a minute, I forgot that Wilhelmina is anti-Sigmarite herself. That pretty radically lessens Sigmar's influence on Eike, Morr's and Ulric's chances grow!

Wait a second...
... Well, I for one welcome our future rageball grandniece.
That wasn't a no. That's just a "It would take more than just rolling an 8".

Personally, I'm reading "not necessarily 'better', but more interesting" as "subplot potential." Which would mean Eike had one relatively bland development, and then the most interesting possible option.
So, clearly, she's a worshiper of Verena and Ranald-the-Protector as a result of residual influence that one time Mathilde tried to put shrines to him in all the Watch houses.
Okay on a more seriously response...

Keep in mind here that seven is the single most probable result on 2d6, with six and eight coming in just afterwards. There's an ~44% chance of getting one of those three results on any given roll. If the die roll did in fact work that way, I'd expect that slot to be "mildly interesting, but basically expected."

Yes and I expect Sigmar to take up half the unmodified religious spectrum. The only way (as I see it) for such rolls to not be Sigmar is an intervention by Wilhelmina.
Edit: by "Sigmar" I mean standard Empire polytheism with Sigmar as a favorite. Monotheisthic Sigmarites probably share "2,3,11,12" with Chaos, proscribed non-chaotic cults (like Khaine) and atheism in no particular order.

Now I want us to take Qrech to graduation ceremony
"If you teach us Moulder dialect of Queekish. I will let you attend."
Nah, the next step is for him to tell us where they keep the immortality goop, so we can get him some so he can be a proper professor that won't be outlived by his student's courses.
Edit: And by the time he's 40, he'll have outlived everyone he knew in moulder, and everyone who knew him, so we'll be able to take him out of his cell, as he won't be able to reintegrate into Moulder as easily (due to having gotten used to being One). And then he can go live in altdorf as a reclusive professor

Clearly, the end result here is that Qrech keeps going and attains a full doctorate.
For decades the true identity of the mysterious professor who's in charge of the University of Altdorf's correspondence-only class is a mystery to everyone, but he has tenure and knows his stuff as though he lived it himself. Some speculate a Grey Wizard's secret identity, others assume he has some horrible condition that means he can't come in, some believe the response delay means he must be writing the class material on location. Some of the more fanciful ones believe it's all a ruse and he's having too much fun driving Dwarven steamcraft around in a white bodysuit. No one ever suspects the professor is a secret Skaven.
