I'm trying to decide what to do about the codex actually. It wasnt that long ago where I bought what I thought was a new one, didn't realise that nids were about to get a big update, since I was only just returning. So now, either I buy the new codex, or, as I have seen, there's a digital version. But to be honest, the digital version seems WAY overpriced.

Would you get the new codex to play Nids, or know the enemy?

Play nids, possibly, I'm still in the deciding phase whether to learn 40k, so far I've only ever collected and painted, and played invented games with them years ago lol.

I would learn the game first, pick up the new rulebook and decide if you want to get back into the game, then if you do, pick up the new Nids codex. That is provided you are going to play them. Thats what I would do.

He is over 30 and I am under 20 , and from another playgroup then him . I was lucky he was reading some stuff of the more funny stuff . He and his friends were reading the whole thing and looking how the model kits look like . I don't play nids , so their changes wouldn't mean anything to me and no one cried that it stuff was awesome , they just made fun out of tyranids and the store owner who plays them .

I don't play Nids but I will be buying the Codex.

Fair enough
