Howdy folks!
I'm getting back into both Fantasy and 40K gaming after a couple of years break, originally started in 1996. I remember when all this were fields.... 
Currently starting an Iyanden army for 40K, and already built up a large army of Beastmen for WFB this year. I discovered roleplaying a few years ago, which coincided with a drop in my wargaming activity - but I still played a bit of Blood Bowl. now managed to balance my hobbies so I can roleplay 3 times a week (soon to be 4... I'm addicted) and still get a few battles in between times.
Armies:
---------
40K - Iyanden Eldar
WFB - Nurgley Beastmen
Historical - Normans
Blood Bowl (alright these are teams, not armies) - Chaos Dwarfs (I love the old bighats  ), Humans, Orcs
Cheers,
Grant

Welcome back! You shouldn't have too much trouble with 40K... Fifth edition is pretty close with some minor but frequent changes (so check the rules frequently).

Ah, a fellow returner.
Last time I played 40k was 2nd Ed. so it was a bit of shock for me.
My 8000 point Ork army pretty much vanished! 
Ah well;
