Many players find their perfect Warhammer 40K army by a variety of the following things.
How the models/army looks. End of the day you'll be building and painting up these models so having something you like makes a big difference.
The lore and stories of the faction, possibly a favourite character.
The play style of the army, whether this is a shooting army, strong combat army or something in between.
The size of the army, whether this a small elite force or prefer a horde of models that cover and overwhelm the board.
The cost of an army can make a big difference. You may want to get started with a smaller cheaper army as the hobby can get very expensive.
Others pick based on the current power level, which often changes with games workshop balancing regularly I'd advise against this.
End of the day there is no wrong reason so don't worry! Your enjoyment is all that matters in this amazing game.
