It looks like there will be some variety depending on what faction you pick.

Focus appears to be on units that have access to lots of weapons & customazation options.
You can see this in the unboxing (cult + mechanicus troops).
The Spacewolves set appears to be 2-3 different troop types (one reiver in official screenshot, 40k players probably identify more).

Orks are getting ‘burna boyz’
Unless they’re creating new sprues that means the set will equivalent to this :

The description mention that the sprues within can built 2 different troop types (which matches what the Mechanicus sprue does)
Cardwise there do appear to be ‘exclusive’ cards (6). We have to wait and see how ‘bad’ this is.
Value for money is tricky as well.

btw :

local webstore is listing coreset at 89,25 Euro (official 105 Euro) and the squad-sets as 42,50 Euro (official 50 Euro).
It is more expensive than a single squad box for any given army, but you’re getting terrain and a faction booklet too. That terrain is the only thing you can’t buy separately.

At list prices for the terrain sets the core box is a definite good deal.

Rules  (32,50 Euro) +  terrain (40 -80 Euro per set for terrain kits!) would cost more than list price .
So even if you hate the selected squads it is not a bad idea to buy the box instead …

It looks like there may be exclusive sprues when the Kill team:Rogue Trader expansion gets released.
Everyone else will have standard sprues for whatever is current.
