Me and the person i want to start with really dont care for Orks, and i really want to play tyranids, but all the ways to start them seem very expensive for what you get- even the combat patrols, considering we'd need two to even play.

My question is, are all the text resources in the old tyranid starter set worthless now? My understanding is the balance of units and rules have minor tweaks between editions, so are all the stat blocks and rulebooks in the box going to be incorrect for 11th edition?

Theres so many different resources and products out there, all in the hundreds in terms of price, that making a first step is pretty overwhelming for us.

Im also not sure what the natural next step is for progressing towards the standard game mode after a starter set like this either, but thats a question be answered a ways away I imagine.
