I mean, I'd be fine with it, doing enough favors to Shallya to essentially buy immortality off of her would mean doing a lot of good after all, it's just ..... we don't need it yet, and there's every chance we won't need it for decades due to the whole "wizards age real good" thing.
Plus, there's the rare wizard that just stops aging completely, like Elspeth.
Once we start looking like we are middle aged/old and start getting a little less spry, I'll probably start pushing for it. Until then .... it just seems a little premature, considering there's a real chance we won't ever need it/we'll stumble upon a different solution of our own right.
Plus, this is Mattie, chances aren't terrible that we trip into a situation/position where we can do Shallya a massive favor purely by accident and get the chance to buy youth off of her without going out of our way.

I am still not entirely convinced that's how she got it and that she doesn't in fact have two divine sponsors.
It would not be a surprise if Shallya and Ranald were working together, after all, to try and wrest control of the Empire from that... Not always equally effective
Either that, or that vampires can survive the end of the world.

I don't think the Greenskins answer Imperial censuses.
"Yes, I'ze the head of the crap-pile. Yes, we'ze 400 orcs, 150 forest gobbos, and 200 little snottys. We'ze part of the 'Gork is best' party, we iz"

Would beastmen even notice a new plague? They worship Nurgle among other things. They probably just thought Grandfather was particularly jolly that year.

Not really sure we want to be compared to Goge Vandire. Like, at all.
Vampirism works by binding the soul to the body, even in death and thus keeping the soul in the material realm. If chaos swallows the planet there is no material realm
Greenskins self-quarantine anyways. Certainly you'll never see them mingling with humans without some protective equipment. Choppas aren't the most effective PPE but better than nothing.
I don't think she 'just' stopped aging. I think her studies of her Hourglass had something to do with it.
Unless they can steal one of the skaven or chaos dwarves' rockets.

The same way that dwarves turn to stone when exposed to the aethyr, and that a dwarf hold that was theoretically thrown into the Chaos Realm would contain nothing but stone statues, right?
Even if they do, what is there to eat in the cold void of space?

And then the Vampires were Space Pirate Vampires.
I'm surprised no one has made that a thing yet.
Technically speaking, that was a bubble of reality, it wasn't fully immersed in the Realm of Chaos (or their gunpowder would have stopped working, and they'd have all died)

Slaanesh was playing games with them (and creating a passage into reality). Vampires stuck in the Warp would not bnefit from those circumstances.

That would be a way to get rid of them for good. Send them on a rocket going on a one way trip out of the solar system.
Dwarves turn to stone when exposed to the Winds if they aren't appropriately shielded by the Runes of Valaya.
We don't know if the raw, untainted non-substance of the Aethyr would produce the same result, and I doubt any dwarf parents would be willing to lend us their un-'baptised' child for us to dip in Aethyric Vitae to test it out.

The Aethryc Vitae would immediately burst into the winds and Dhar anyways, so the kid would turn to stone no matter what.
Why would it do that? AV isn't that unstable.

Nagash would disagree on it being the way of the impatient and desperate.
Orcs have done weirder things.
Well he did eat a bunch of Warpstone to complete his transformation after his first defeat. Sounds pretty desperate to me.

Well, if the Rites of Valaya haven't been performed, then presumably the baby wouldn't repel magic and their emotions would attract the winds (which was noted to be a stronger attraction than even concentrated magic)
And babies tend to be emotional, particularly when immersed in liquid.

Depends on the age. Speaking as someone who grew up in a religion that practices infant baptism: older ones complain a lot about the process, while younger ones (just a few months old) tend to approach the whole process with an attitude of "oh, ok, I guess this is a thing that is now happening." They haven't got expectations about going un-dunked by strangers yet, you see, and so those expectations aren't being shattered.
It might also be that they were immersed in liquid quite happily not so long ago. It's surprisingly easy to get very young infants to learn how to swim for instance.

I like grimdarkness fine but my problem is that in Fantasy and especially 40K it all too often strays into grimderp territory.

Huh, that would work. For the first (and hopefully last) time, I sort of wish Mathilde was Azyr instead of Ulgu, so that building a rocket to launch vampire corpses into space was within her remit.
If we ever get word of anyone trying to get to space or building a rocket, we should bring it up as a possible use they can tout for funding.

The thing is, Warhammer Fantasy, I mean it started dark and grim yes, but it was not built the same way 40K was from the beginning where literally everything was awful and there were no heroes at all and everybody was trapped in the worst regime possible.
Volkmar? 40K he'd be a piece of shit, in Fantasy he actually is trying to save the Empire because he loves it and its people.
Louen? The finest knight of the Realm even after they all forgot how to write, in 40k he'd be the worst of the whole bunch one way or another.
Sigmar? A genuine hero deity who cares for his people and scares away the Dark; we've seen what that's like in 40K and he's a xenocidal fascist piece of shit that the Four mock.
But as 40K got more and more popular it started leaking in and metastasizing until it ruined everything and finally performed a coup-de-grace so GW could have its Fantasy 40K. But even long before that it was ruining the tone.
