Hi folks.

So as the title says, I have been out of the game for a while. Last collected in 2008 (Orks, so many Orks) and lost touch with the lore around 2012. However recently the urge to jump back in has grabbed me and I was rather shocked by the world that greeted me. The models look killer, apparently space marines have got an upgrade and everyone hated it and Guilliman is stomping around again.

My hope here is to catch up on some of the lore and bombard you with questions about both the lore and table top game.

Hope to see you out there.

Hi! Welcome to Dakka! Yeah the new lore is a pretty mixed bag. Some good decisions, a lot of bonkers ones -- but if you've been a fan of GW for any length of time your probably already aware that "them's the breaks."

Welcome to dakka!

Welcome! Some of the new stuff is quite confusing indeed.

But there's good and bad, as always!

Welcome back to the hobby

Cheers for the welcome everyone.

My advice for ignoring crazy lore.

Inform your play group that all of your games and campaigns take place centuries before the year 999 M41.

BTW good to see another ork player coming back. I remember how Gorkamorka became the core for my old school kult of speed!
