Nice!

Seeing models getting built, painted, and on the table is rewarding. 

10th ed. is really streamlined, but still has a lot of depth. You can have fun at any skill level. And, the game has probably never been more accessible for new players.

Having solid people to play with is key, though. 

 That's really why I'm just now starting. I always wanted to play but never had anyone I know I to it and the LGS is hit and miss... Lot of socially awkward people ya know. But now I've got 3 close friends getting into it. Playing Tau, Tyranids and Necrons.  

 That's awesome, man.

Playing with close friends is the only way to play. You'll be telling stories of games or dice rolls years later.
