Back after 7 years hiatus

Hi folks,
While in college, I was away from tabletop gaming. Now, I'm looking into getting back to it.
Still have plenty of Tyranids and Dark Elves, and the place where I have been playing Magic for the last year is starting to get some miniatures and there seem to be a few folks around there that have armies. I still need to refresh on rules and whatnot, understand all this End of Times talk and a lot that I have missed.
From what I have been told, we now have a pretty impressive range of plastic models (which is huge, when I was on this we only had spearmen/xbowmen in plastic). Apparently, there are some new hotness must haves, units tend to be bigger but overall I have a nice collection to play around with
I have the following (all the old models, all metal except the spearmen/xbowmen):
Lord on Cold One
Lord on foot
beastmaster on manticore
sorceress on foot
assassin
20 spearmen
12 xbowmen
16 corsairs
13 dark riders (2x full command)
10 witch elves (full command)
16 executioners (full command)
10 black guard (full command)
5 cold one knights (full command)
8 harpies
5 shades
1 Hydra
2 Reaper bolt throwers
Most of these still need paint (all the core except witch elves are painted, and the RBT are on the way). I still have to look at some lists, but I have been told I either go the Malekith route, or need more witch elves and executioners. A few more xbowmen would also be nice. Either way, everyone recommended Doom-something Warlock, but there seem to be plastic models for it, so I am not too concerned, it is one box. It is not easy to get some minis here in Portugal, but it shouldn't be that hard. Any advice?
