Here comes the threadjack. What faction of guard Rliyen?
Here's my fairly recently heavily converted commander. (dang this is a WIP as he's missing his armband)
As far as waiting for 6th rules. You mentioned you'd be playing just at home with friends not at a local club, which means you'll need at least one rulebook. With all these factors I'd say your best bet is going ahead and buying 2 Black Reach Sets and splitting one with a soon to be Ork player. Then you've dropped minimum $$$ and have a cheap rules + model start and you can go from there.

Yes, there can be changes but mostly unit structure and what type of gear/weapons they use. Playing with friends should allow your group to proxy or use "counts as stuff" but its more fun when models match.
With marines the Black Reach box has pretty basic stuff for the marines and the basic troops will remain relevant in the next edition for sure.

What faction? COBRA, my dear man! COBRA!
Attachment cobra_logo.jpg not found
I'll have to pull out my COBRA themed army and take a couple of pictures. I use Cadian models, since they're easy to kitbash into COBRA soldiers. As for 40k faction, Catachans. They were very mobile in 3rd when there was a lot of plant terrain. If I get the new rules and new codices, I'll give another faction a chance.

Ha! One step ahead of you - I have the Britannia starter fleet. Didn't care much for the game in my first play, will have to give it another go.

Apparently 40K is especially popular with gamers in the U.S. armed forces.
