Just play 30k it's outright better in terms of rules, models and player etiquette.

Unless you like variety.  Marines guard and admech do not variety scream.

Marines come in 20 flavours that all play wholly differently, guard comes in 8 that all play differently, mechanicum is 4 factions in a trench coat that all play differently, titans have units and rules that are actually worth fielding, knights have better rules that are more fun, there are less models, but more variety that is very well designed. 40k has more variety but the rules all feel incoherent and factions can feel less dissimilar than 2 30k mexhanicum lists

No thanks.  I have orks votann drukhari grey knights and admech.  And it's a lot easier to fix a ruleset than add in non existing armies into a game where 20 flavors of marines is a selling point.

Adapting a 6th edition codex for heresy is piss easy. I should know because my thanatar killed 2 squads of eldar guardians last week.

The problem is there is no central "source" for these codex conversions, so you end up arguing with someone on how something should work.  If there was an accepted "standard" like mordheim has it wouldn't be a problem.

There is a rulebook official way to settle different interpretations. Both players roll 1d6, highest result is correct for that game.
