I finally have enough time to play 40K again! But my knowledge of 6th is shoddy and I haven't played in over a year so its time to take a few baby steps back into the game. Most importantly however is what to play, and there are 3 options in the matter:

Tyranids
Eldar
Sisters of Battle

I have the ability to play all most all options from each of the above and will eventually want to make my way back into the competitive scene.

What will I want to use to re-learn and conquer 6th edition?

**Peregrine**

Eldar. They're the newest overpowered army, and they can ally with Tau, the other new overpowered army.

**Desubot**

Nids will be up in December apparently so thats gonna probably throw a nut into everyone wrench.

Eldar is fairly competitive for now and probably will be for a bit.

**Jimsolo**

Sisters of Battle! One of the least-fielded armies. I'd love to see them more often.

**ImotekhTheStormlord**

Go for nids.

Don't join the already overpopulated ranks of Eldar players.

"Fairly."

**Da Blak Gobbo**

Where is that chart from? Those numbers seem enormous!

**SYKOJAK**

I would recommend the Eldar to you.

**gossipmeng**

Go Eldar, the other 2 are in need of an update badly - I'm not sure if you want to wait for the tyranid update in the next few months though.

Wow, Eldar are at 18% of all armies ran... that's insane. And that 2-1 Win loss ratio is crazy, seeing as some of those loses are going to be to other Eldar players too.

This is from Torrent of Fire, BTW.
