I mostly am into 40k for the novels and background rather than the game itself. A friend and I were talking about starting up again at roughly the 500 point range.

 

What armies are the most fun to play at that value? Bonus points for simplicity and low model count. 

 

I was thinking Deathguard or Guard based on how they look but I know very little about how the game is currently played.

Others already suggested but I will as well. Go for kill team, it's cheap to get in, low investment in both time to get models built and painted and price wise (just ehem, find the rules online). 

If you want a 500 point army thats fun, I would say orks , I think it's been suggested but here is another vote :D. Nids for second place but should wait for the new edition and tau in third for my ranking. For 500 games you have space to include fun stuff and be fluffy and they aren't hard to paint. Orks are incredible easy to paint and it's easy to make them look good since they don't really have a coherent look when it comes to colors and the stains on their armor. What ? your hand slipped and you got some green on the ork's black shirt? Well, congratulations on that nifty weathering of whatever the ork got splashed with and didn't bother to clean ;)
