I agree that you dont need to start with SM in 40K. Hell, I started with Dark Eldar, which may seem crazy since they're one of the more difficult armies for even veterans to use, but after these last 5 years I've had with DE, I find them easier to use than I do any other army I've tested out (including space marines).
