Warhammer 40K is overwhelming for new players. There are dozens of factions, hundreds of units, and endless special rules.
The trick is to teach the game structure first: movement, shooting, assault, morale. Use generic Space Marines vs generic Chaos. Keep it simple.
Once players understand how the game flows, then you introduce faction-specific rules and the deeper tactical options. Mechanics first, chrome later.
