I have like...all of them, yet never even played one

:(

I may do the Warhammer 2 one of these days. I love RTS, just been too busy. What's the best one I should start with?

Depends on what you want the most out of the game. Warhammer 2 has awesome battles and by far the most variety in its factions and armies. But it comes at a cost. Siege battles are straight garbage and diplomacy is also atrocious, so if those two things in particular are things that might interest you, just keep that in mind. Plus, it's a fantasy setting, so if you want a historical one you'd obviously pick something else.

Three Kingdoms meanwhile has a much more engaging diplomacy system, but I know a lot of people aren't too keen on the actual battles. And obviously it lacks the variety only Warhammer can bring.

Rome 1 is great but very dated. Medieval 2 is the same, though probably holds up a lot better. And both have a ton of mods.

Shogun 2 is a great place to start as well. It bridges the gap nicely between new and old Total War in my opinion.

Ultimately though, choose whatever setting and era looks the most interesting.
