Hey guys! Thinking about getting back into 40k after about a 6 year absence and was wondering if anyone could give me any idea of what is decent right now.
I used to have about 5000 points of Nids...not sure if they are still any good. I do have a buddy of mine who has a bunch of old Orcs and Space Marines he will sell me at about 40% of retail...not sure if Orcs have gotten any better in the last 6 years. I figure Space Marines will always be good, but they always seemed vanilla to me...not sure if that has changed either.
Anyway, if anyone could give me some tips or suggestions, that would be awesome!
thanks!

Welcome to DakkaDakka!
If space marines seemed too vanilla for you back then try out a Space Marine Chapter with their own codex like Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Angels or Grey Knights.
