I think for the casual approach they seem to be taking, trying to keep up with multiple armies (in terms of rules, cost and hobby time) is probably impossible. They probably feel like they don't stand a chance in 40K as you can field anything and they are stuck with their own armies. What's your win ratio like? Do you keep destroying them?

Heroclix is fairly balanced, and the rules are trivial.
I get the impression that MTG isn't that balanced, but the rules are pretty clear.
40K isn't balanced at all, and the rules are a mess.

You've said you don't bother keeping up with Heroclix or MTG, so why should they have to keep up with 40K?

If that's the case then I think it's even more likely that they just aren't into 40k anymore. It's possible that they only play it because you do and even that might not be enough to make it enjoyable anymore.

Maybe it's time to find a new minis game? One that all of you would be interested in collecting and playing.

That's what I'm thinking; why not try a different game, and look at one of the multi-player boxed mini's games (Super Dungeon Expore is brilliant for that. As is Zombicide).

If you're only playing once or twice a year, you probably want to be playing something a lot simpler than 40k too.
