Coming Back to the Game - What Rules are needed? Nov 9, 2019 4:32:08 GMT

Getting back into 40k and I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

I have:
- Core Rule
- Tyranid Codex
- Latest update & FAQ
- FW Xenos book for my FW models

My questions:
- do I need the Xenos indexes?
- do I need to track down every update & FAQ?- do I need (or should get) the various campaign supplements that Bug rules?

Thank for any help anyone can give

NOTE: I've done a search here and the most recent thread was from 2014.

No need for Indexes (only things are shrikes, skyslashers and AG on gargs).

Don't need every FAQ either: it's not bad to have everyone elses if you want to play comp, but old FAQs are (generally) pointless.

The other thing is to have CA18, but with CA19 just around the corner, don't bother buying that. There's currently no Tyranid supplements, only GSC.

Your search missed the mark a bit: thetyranidhive.proboards.com/thread/57476/returning-player-after-absence-lots (I'm pretty sure there's been another 2 or 3 in the last couple of months as well).
