Subject: So how does this 40k game work again?

I used to play, but stopped to play fantasy for a few years, but 8th edition has sapped my will to play that, so I'm considering going back to 40k.
I have piles of marines and guard, some eldar, sisters, necrons and chaos. What should I play? How do things work now? What's hot and what's not?

Well, most of your models are most likely still relative...so thats a plus. Whats hot right now? Basically any of the army's that have recently recieved a Codex (rules) update (Blood Angels, Dark Eldar, Grey Knights). Of course the Guard are always a fan favorite.

Welcome to dakka, If my vote counts (you should do a poll) I suggest Guard!

Well if I remember how you used to play marines, you should fit right in! People are real big on min/maxing and taking multiple units these days, you just have to label it as "competitive" and most will leave you alone. 
It's not as much fun though, I seem to recall some very fun to read arguments about taking 5 man squads with lascannons and such.

Thanks,

Hey 
Welcome to Dakka!
I'd say Marines or Guard are your safest bet, whichever you have most of

Welcome back Mauleed.
I'm rapidly approaching a return to 40k too, as soon as I get HEs out of the way for next years WHFB tourney season.
