Personally I think if Civ was a little daunting I think the TW series could be too.
Whatever you do, I’d consider your own interests first before picking which to start with. Are you into ancient Rome? Go with Rome. Napoleonic era Europe? Go with Empire. Fantasy? Then Warhammer. That’ll help you stay engaged while getting over the learning curve.
If you’re into space or sci-fi you could try Sins of Solar Empire or even Stellaris. They aren’t TW but are good space fleet strategy games. Stellaris would be the tougher of the two to get into.
