so whats a good way to learn and get into 40k. I bought the assault on black reach and added alittle to orks and marines so far. (still torn between which to play). so any suggestions?

Find someone to play with those models and learn the game doesn't it have scenarios in the box to learn the game?

I believe so.

As a new player, I recommend Space Marines for a first army.
They are more forgiving of mistakes.
