If you are just trying to stir up some interest, then it doesn’t matter what models your friends use as long as they are engaged with the ruleset and enjoying themselves.

Let them use any model they want. Who really cares?  You do not want people experiencing a new game system with armies based on what is asthetically close to a 40k army.  That is extremely lame, and literally has nothing to do with how an army plays in Firefight.

As for which force/army lists they should use that should match their favored play style.   Do they want to play more horde type armies (Veermyn/Plague for example) or more elite forces (like Enforcers or Asterians).  Or have them do some online research and make a choice based on fluff and backstory information.  Those two ways of picking an army will have them far far more engaged in game them, then basing thier choices on 40k comparisons.
