I bought creed for 13$. And it made me wonder. Was it worth it? Any tactics for the grand tactician? Because I don't often use independent character's (except for yarrick and the vindicare) I know little to none about that guy, but my friends recommended the guy to me.

Anything help!

You basically run him as a generic backfield commander surrounded with tons of squads. He's no good for anything else.

See if you can roll 1 on the IG warlord traits

Use him as his own detachment (a command section of a Cadian battlegroup) so he gets orders buffs.

isn't Creed supposed to take 2 warlord traits? put him & his CCS in a vendetta and use it for aura abilities.
2 rolls on Command can make for a sad panda.

All the "Orders buffs" only apply to issuing Orders to units from the Detachment.

None of the benefits would be useful for him, as he already does 3 Orders a turn.

Creed can roll twice, and can take traits from different tables, rerolling duplicates.

I would roll twice on the Cadian table myself.
Artillery Veteran(make an Artillery Bombardment as though he's a Master of Ordinance) and Above the Thundering Guns/Unflappable Stoicism are good combos.

You can also go once on Cadian, once on IG in the hopes of letting him issue 5 Orders/turn...but I find that four Orders for a Warlord tends to be enough.
