So I've been out of the warhammer world for a good few years now. I've still got a good grasp on the lore but some things seem to have changed or been added while I was away. I'd really like to get back into the hobby but just don't have the time or budget to commit to the full war game.

But I do have a love of RPGs and chaos so Black Crusade (and all the other Warhammer RPGs for that matter) look like great fun and a good way to get a gothic warfare fix. Problem is I've never played a tabletop style RPG and after looking over some of the game materials it all seems tricky to get into.

Could any kind folk on the forum offer some advice for a lowly newcomer or point me in the direction of any games that are looking for new players?

Don't know of any games that're recruiting, but I can offer advice.

1: Read, read, read, read, for the love of Tzeentch read!

2: Repeat step 1.

3: Don't get discouraged if you don't "Get it" at first, tabletop RPGs are very different from wargames, but Fantasy Flight did their best to retain some of the wargame feel.

4: Read some more.

I know most of my advice is simply to read and keep reading, but several of my players can't apparently keep this in mind.
