Returning to 40k after 12 years

Greetings!

I wandered into the Westminster shop yesterday and one of the employees directed me this way after we chatted for a bit.
I'm right around the corner from the store, so it seems a good place for my spontaneous gaming needs.

My current interest is Warhammer 40k.
I collected some Chaos Marines and IG 12-15 years ago and just opened them back up.
Nearly everything is assembled but unpainted, so I'm just getting started on the Chaos.
It looks like the army will be Khorne-leaning for now, based on what's usable still.
After looking through the current Codex it looks like I can do about 1500pts max right now, maybe 1750 with some robust wargear/upgrade choices, but no clue how tactically sound it will be.

As for other gaming, I recently broke a 6+ year WoW habit.
I've also played a fair bit of D&D in the past (AD&D, 3.0, 3.5).
Lots of card and board games (friends used to work at Wizards of the Coast store in VA).


So, a pleasure to make your acquaintance and:
Blood for the blood god, skulls for Khorne.

welcome my chaos brother from another mother

Welcome always good to have more players I'm looking at getting a weekly Thursday night game going for 40k here in the next month or so. And i have been talking to quite a few people about it. So you should not have to wait too long for more people to play with. Also if you are at all interested in Warhammer Fantasy battle we have a really strong group that plays that come in some Wednesday and check it out!!

I'll probably pass on the Fantasy. Don't have any pieces and trying to keep the expenses down.
In that regard, I'm looking to sell/trade my old Guard pieces in order to fill out my Chaos.

edit: Found the forum for it here, thread up with all my IG pieces.

Welcome to the forums! Always nice to see some old schoolers around!

It was 40k when you last played, now it's 52k. Welcome back, Pappa Nurgle says hi.
