Welcome back to the hobby Jacob! Luckily for you the 4th edition tyranids are also the most current model for 90% of the tyranid range - the hive tyrants have gotten plastic instead of metal now, but its the same model so the aesthetic is the same, and the carnifex, gaunts, genestealers, and warriors haven't changed a bit! Zoanthropes went plastic, and we've gotten a ton of new kits like the harpy, trygon, tervigon/tyrannofex, toxicrene, venomthropes, hive guard, exocrines, etc etc etc - its a good time to jump back in!
We have a strategy thread going in the "theoryhammer" section regarding the changes to tyranids for 8th edition if you want to jump into the conversation. And we have a section for getting rid/trading old models in the "bartertown" section, so feel free to post up anything you want to get rid of there.
Once again welcome!

Welcome! There are always people playing at the dojo on wednesday, but you can definitely set up games here for other days/locations.
I also play nids and am pumped for our codex this weekend.

Thanks guys! I am super excited to get back into it. I just put my Hive Tyrant together today. Glued it as a Flyrant, but I am going to magnetize the other arms so I can swap out gear. I won't have my other models until after the 24th, but I am hoping to join on events sooner or later!

Hey everyone, I'm Ryan. I was directed to this forum by a redditor named Daniel. I played 40k like 12 years ago and I want to get back into it. Also, I really gotta make some friends. I moved to Chicago for a new job a few months ago and I know like nobody outside of work. I randomly stumbled upon some pics of space marines on instagram and realized I had forgotten how awesome I thought this stuff was forever ago. I don't have models anymore and I don't really remember how to play, nor do I remember what edition I played in. I had a Tau army, a Cadian Imperial Guard Army, a Khorne Chaos Marine army, and something like a possessed/daemon army (not sure if this is even a thing anymore). I think when I played, the Tau, Cadians, and possessed were all fairly new. I could be wrong though. Anyway, I moved to Chicago for a software engineering job at a trading firm in the loop and I'm currently living in Wicker Park. I love playing guitar and writing music. I played in a regionally successful band for a few years out in Arizona in between some college years. I'd really like to start coming around and learning the ropes of the game again, as well as start building and painting an army (I'm leaning towards orks this time around). If anyone has an extra army they would like to bring that I can use while I start building up mine, that be cool

Wait, sorry I just read Orks. There are some Ork players skulking around.
Got any links to some of your tunes?

Racist. We’re here, we’re green....I can’t think of anything pertinent that rhymes with green. ... prepared to rip out your spleen. ... dining at 7 on your queen. ... tired of the out and out unfair treatment by non spore-generated species that results in our status as second class members of the galaxy when everyone knows we just want to be invited to the party, er... WAAAAGH

Haha you guys are funny Wait, sorry I just read Orks. There are some Ork players skulking around. Got any links to some of your tunes? Yea do you like metal? I have a feeling that a 40k player who doesn't like some form of metal is a bit of an oxymoron.
