From an ease perspective the 40k start sets make it simple to test the rules out with minimal commitment: https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/warhammer-40000/start-here
All sold out on their site, but available at plenty of other places.
They just announced a similar Starter Set for Kill Team that looks like a good way to test out this game: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/B3EtzIYC/kill-team-starter-set-space-marines-vs-plague-marines/
If your ready to pick a faction and get painting/playing I think the 40k Combat Patrol format might be one of the easier options to pick up and play. No need to make an army list, the core roles are free, only needing you worry about knowing the stats/abilities for 4 or 5 squads. https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/7VlmRolQ/download-the-new-warhammer-40000-rules-for-free-right-here/
Kill Team is less models (7-10 per side), but they are often almost all unique and it really needs you to get some terrain set up to play right. But there are “lite” rules available for free right now that make it easier to try out: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/kill-team/

A bit slapchop.
I primed it Army Painter black, grey and grey/blue dry brush to make the edges stand out, heavier dry brush plus white dry brush on places to be red or gold.
Reds: Flesh Tearer contrast then another dry brush of Evil Suns Scarlet
Gold: Garaghaks Sewer, Army Painter Greedy Gold
Bone: Reaper Ion Soot (grey), Sepia Wash
Rounded out with: Sir Coates Silver, Guilliman Flesh, Magos Purple, Prismatic Bolt Speed Paint, Army Painter Strong Tone
They were mainly a color test, but I’m pretty tickled with the results.
He’s the classic metal version. I think I got him from eBay decades ago and only was ready to paint him up now that he’s been pushed out.
I’ve also got a metal Corbulo that I think was from the same second hand lot. I’ll probably get to him when the new Sanguinary Priest drops.
Edit: spelling
