Your saying that we haven't actually maxed out on best possible weapon we can get? I was in the middle of writing a speculation post about where webber might be in 50 turns. A big part of it was about how we have basically maxed out our possible equipment.

The fellblade is a sword made of warpstone. It has horrible negative effects from just holding it.
We do not want the fellblade.
i mean... by certain criteria its not even the best runeblade.
the elector swords don't have S10, but they have instant, no defence wounds.
our sword is better against most enemies, but the rune swords are better against the really nasty stuff, because they always hurt regardless whether your a foot soldier, dragon or the everchoson.

I think that once Webber learns to fully take advantage of it the rune of unknown will bump ours up to being better. At least to the point that we would not willingly trade.

As a reminder, we could have walked off with Stirland's rune fang and Roswita would quite possibly been happy to see the back of it.
Of course the Grey order would have immediately taken it off us and probably exiled us for a while or had us murdered if we tried to run, but we could have walked off with it.

The precious shall be ours!
We haven't only in the sense that literally irreplaceable thousand year old artefacts or godly stuff is somewhat better. Like by a bit.
Become Supreme Matriarch get the Colleges a Electoral vote just like the Sigmarites/Ulricans, get one of the spare Runefangs as a badge of office?

Also skaven stuff, but that's because they cheat with warpstone and make stuff that's at least as likely to kill the user as their enemy.

Not even sure about that. Our sword was custom made for us. It suits us better than even say Ghal-Maraz. That wouldn't let us ignore physics for our sword style. Also ours is much easier to carry around.

I think the Sword of Khaine is currently sitting around unused.
I would not be against becoming the new shadow queen of sylvania.
hell, if we could actually keep it relatively vampire and necromacer free we might even be made the official Elector Countess of the shithole, rather then just the De facto.
I get that you don't want for things to go that way, but your arguments have become very... authoritative
getting more into political power and getting more into politics its a legitimate stance a lot of players have, and that they want to see more of.
argue against them if you don't want it!
but please stop trying to shut down conversations just cause you don't like them.

Stirland might want to annex Sylvania though.
Fair point.
Ghal-Maraz is a marginally more potent as a weapon but it definitely isn't what Mathilde has trained for and the marginal difference in performance doesn't outweigh the downsides.
Besides that there's only one Ghal-Maraz so there's basically between one and zero people who have developed a proper Ghal-Maraz style at any time.
It would be ideal if it wasn't so cursed. Of course if it wasn't cursed it'd be weaker and thus wouldn't be ideal.

That's an interesting question actually. Personally, I'd say probably not that hard. He's hard to keep dead, not necessarily to kill, and is probably easier with an assassin's blade than on the battlefield.
Unlikely to happen. Pretty much every Elector outside of Luitpold doesn't want it, which is a pretty damning indictment.
Let's not draw the weapon so cursed it curses every descendant you have ever. And probably makes you an enemy of Ulthuan and Naggaroth on danger/religious grounds respectively.
Sylvania has been annexed. Legally Sylvania doesn't exist.

They really don't, it's just that someone has to deal with it and as far as the rest of the empire is concerned it's their responsibility.

Ah yes, getting the Colleges of Magic an Elector Count vote, clearly this is a job for Mathilde "14 Diplomacy" Weber.

That is very different than stealing a runefang!
He took a warpstone blade whilst in the middle of the most ambitious ritual ever performed by a human. There's no indication that he's easy to kill otherwise considering a derived version of his elixir was what made the vampires.

Well sufficient intrigue, martial, piety and learning can cover for a relative lack of diplomacy.
Wasn't 14 pretty good by Stirland standards anyways?

Sure, but he's a wizard, not a warrior. He might be tougher than bog-standard human, but even vampires aren't super difficult to kill (depending on Vampire, admittedly), just as I said, difficult to keep dead. And Nagash didn't seem to pick up any of the useful bits of being a vampire, beyond the not-staying-dead bit.

Yes, by Stirland standards.
Getting the wizards an electoral vote would be the project of a lifetime or come from someone who is very good at backroom deals.
