Given that you can get the Seraphon box for $85 USD and the Carnosaur itself was $85, the new Fyreslayers box is $85 with a Magamdroth(used to be around ~$110ish)...think bigger.
My own personal speculation:
10x Grey Knights Strike Squad models
5x Grey Knights Terminators
1x Dreadknight
Alternatively, they could place the Terminator Captain you're talking about in--but he's sold in a lot of Start Collecting sets and most people who wanted him got him that way or from splitting the Terminator Command sets.

I think you may have noticed I was waffling between the termies and the dread: you are targeting the same stuff.
I also stated usually a vehicle is included so then it all works out.
About $300 and you can have a pretty good (complete-ish) GK force if that getting started box was put together.

10x Grey Knights Strike Squad models
5x Grey Knights Terminators
1x Rhino
1x HQ Clampack


Dreadknights are going to sell like hotcakes, they won't be in the getting started box

The Konor video says that the DG are in September, so they're not going to be in Q4.

I keep missing that, can you give a quote?
Hope their release will be September 2nd so we can hope for another codex in September.

10x Strike Squads, a Librarian, and a Dreadknight/5 Terminators.

In CAD, thats about 60 dollars savings if in a start collector set. So i doubt we will get a Rhino or Razorback on top of it.

I could mayyyybe see 5 strikes, 5 terminators, a terminator librarian and a razorback.

Also, my bets:


Death Guard, Daemons of Chaos (with a heavy Nurgle slant release, plus a Nurgle AoS release), Astra Militarum, Orks, Khorne, Dark Angels, Ynnari, end the year with Slaanesh. Maybe a 1k sons vs Space Wolves splash release like the GK/CSM book.

Next year, Tyranids, Blood Angels, Necrons, Tau, with IKs in there somewhere. Maybe we will see IKs around Christmas as a flash release this year, since i imagine bigger kits sell more around Christmas. Though Christmas is usually terrain...

Khorne and Slaanesh will be tied to the release of the Demonprimarchs and respective Culttroops similar to DG und 1kSons, so they won't be in this year but rather 2018-2019

From one article of the warhammer community, which i can´t find again, it sounds as there will be "only" a codex for death guard and thousand sons, no world eaters nor emperors children.
Personally i would be glad about that, because i really dislike the release of sub-codices prior to main codices.

Gk getting started I'd guess will be dreadknight, 5 terminators, TDA librarian, since that is shown as a "start" to the army in the codex

For now, sure, but they're obviously going to keep bringing back Primarchs and their Legions. We'll get both an Emperor's Children and a World Eater's codex at some point in the next couple of years. I look forward to the model ranges that will accompany them.

If the Emperor's Children codex doesn't come with corrupted Sisters of Battle called Twisted Sisters I will be very sad.

There's no starter box for Grey Knights. I wonder what it would contain if it did exist.

Or Harlies, which is a damn shame.

Missing Getting started so far:

GSC
Harlequins
Grey Knights

Then we have the more specialised

Thousand sons
Dark Angels
Haemonculus Cults (if they still want that kind of thing to exist)
Catachans (though hopefully theyd be updated plastics first)

and lastly SOB, because we really want new plastics for them and it'd be a crime against the Emperor to leave them off the list (though obviously doesn't figure into current released plastic armies)

Technically speaking, DG don't have a "start collecting" box either...technically neither does SoB, but they don't have models as well...
Haemonculus are not a seperate army list from DE.
Catachans and cadians are the same army list.
