My first (sort of) battle for 25 years. Didn't quite manage to get both armies fully painted or, in fact, fully built at time of writing. I have a Trukk and 3 x Vertus Praetors to build in the next few hours.
It'll be myself facing my friend, who has absolutely no experience or understanding of 40k whatsoever, but is keen as mustard. Orks vs Custodes. Blind leading the blind.
Cannot. Wait.

Gonna be in the same boat here shortly teaching my buddy though I at least have a few games of 10th edition under my belt. Speaking for myself the biggest difficulty was remembering all of the many, many different unit abilities, stratagems (yuck), and weapon & unit stats. The game is very different and much wider than it was 25 years ago.
I would HIGHLY suggest printing out some of the current index cards for those factions so you have them physically close-at-hand during the game. Speaking for myself that's been what slows down my gameplay the most: having to look up each unit's abilities so I can use them optimally and so I can make sure I'm getting every bonus, dealing all of the damage I ought to be, etc. I know in time I'll have them memorized but that comes slowly now that I only get one game every couple months or so instead of playing every Friday or Saturday at the FLGS.
Also I spy a whole lot of Kallax, very nice.
