Need some help on Creed:

Master Strategist: "Where there is a choice of mission based on strategy rating, and army containing Creed may always choose the mission. Similarly, they may either choose to win the dice roll for choice of table edge or request that the dice for the first turn be re-rolled."

-Has there been an official ruling on this? I looked in the IG FAQ and didn't see it.
-In light of the 5th edition "role a dice for deployment zones and then choose to go 1st or 2nd", what advantage does his special rule give an IG player still in 5th ed?

Thanks,

Astrid

If you're playing some campaign/scenario/tournament that uses strategy rating to determine mission, the first part of his special rule would be of use.

The same is true of the second part of his ability (rolling the dice for choice of table edge). This is reinforced by the WH ruling for Inquisitorial Mandate.

The third part of his rule (re-rolling the dice for seeing who goes first) is still usable in 5th edition and allows you to have the dice roll to see who goes first (and therefore sets up first) re-rolled.


Whether or not this ability can also be used to re-roll the 'seize the initiative' roll is kind of nebulous.
