Hi !
I am also returning into w40k, from a 15 years break. I have found my old dark eldar army under my parent's house bed this summer
Anyway, work + kids = not much time and 500 pts vs 500 pts battles feels great so far. I love the skirmish feeling, and to be able to try a lot of fun combinations, rather than putting everything you got in a 3hrs+ game
I have enouph models to make a few 500 pts detachments. I have mostly played these 2 lists , both fun :
Battalion Detachment +5CP (Aeldari - Drukhari) [30 PL, 499pts]

Made a mistake, should have taken a desintegrator on the raider
It's fun, some shooting power, nice incubis, the ravager is always a good selection ^^

I am now building several coven 500 pts lists
One with 2 or 3 talos, and the other with grotesques. I happen to have 9 old grotesque models ^^
All the best to your games !
