Been out of the game since 3rd edition. Had to make a new dakka as I have forgotten my old account and do not have access to the email it was attached to. I play Dark Eldar or Drukhari as it's called now. Boy I am not impressed with this citadel finecast. Pretty cool you can have allies now too? Vehicles now have wounds? I'm so lost. How does close combat work now that initiative isn't there anymore? Hope to play my first 8th edition game soon!

Hi there, welcome back.

Vehicles almost don't exist any more in 40k. Everything has the same statline, and keywords. No fire arcs, fire points, or other nice stuff any more (generally).
Initiative is "Charging units fight, one after the other. Then everyone else alternates until everyone has fought." It lets you pic who fights when, and a 'slow' unit can get in early if you want.
Stratagems for some armies let you jump the queue, and fight ahead of the sequence, making those armies 'quicker'. Craftworld Eldar get that, and I expect DE will too.

Anyway, get downloading the FAQs and get stomping.

We shall not call this a comeback, as clearly you have been here for years!!!
