Battlefront and Warlord have been very good in my view at putting out starter sets that are accessible and manageable for someone coming into the games to build and paint (or just build :).

I know people have issues with Flames of War 4 and Bolt Action, but I don’t and think they are great games to get people who have little knowledge into the period.

In its own little way FoW has been a great way to explain some of the battlefield aspects of WW2 to to the Mrs. who has absolutely no background in military history. I wouldn’t exaggerate this too much either, but as a result when we occasionally get around to playing its good fun.
