I am proud to announce I am denouncing my heathen ways and joining the Old Faith! I played quite a bit in MK2 but ended up on a hiatus due to life and no longer have my original models (Ret). I've been lurking, trying to decide what faction to go with and finally chose the Protectorate over Cryx or Circle. I have a little under $300 budgeted away to join the game and I wanted to get feedback on my plans for the initial models I want to get.
All in One Army Box Battle Box Castigator/Reckoner/Sanctifier kit Exemplar Errant Officer and Standard Daughters of the Flame
I figure the two boxes will start me with a couple of casters (not the ones I'm excited for but those can come later), along with plenty of jacks and a solid start to my units. The AIO box comes with two sanctifiers, and while I'm not opposed to magnetizing I figure with the kit parts and the two bodies from the sanctifiers I can build one of each of the jacks in the kit (unless I hear two sanctifiers is a must have, which I am doubtful of). Officer and standard to beef up the Exemplars in the all in one, and the Daughters of Flame because I really want to play with parry/acrobatics models.
Let me know if you have other suggestions for early models. I know things are different in MK3 and large battlegroups are seeing more play. Also, I checked and there's no Journeyman League in my area right now, so I purposefully didn't factor that into my purchasing plan.

Wracks and a Menofixer. They make great filler.

Mechanics and Wracks are great fillers as they are 1 point each.
Magnetize the jack kits as you may find use for the other jacks as well.
The All in One box already come with 2 Castigator/ Sactifier/ & Reckoner chassis kit, so I would get the Crusader/ Vanquisher/ & Templar jack kit instead as you will end up with another castigator from the battle box as well.
I would also say to get Kreoss 1 as he is still a great and easy caster to use.

Punch-Monks (Alligant of the Order of the Fist). And Sevvy1. Everything works with Sevvy1 (Grand Scrutator Severius)

Rhoven & Co are good as well since they give cheap shield guards and syngergize well with a Reckoner's Flare.

Nicia is great for solo hunting IMHO, also the covenant of menoth can be real annoying for your opponent to deal with.

The key pieces that will fit into pretty much any list are as follows:
Choir of Menoth Wracks Vassal Mechanic Idrian Skirmishers + UA Reckoner (preferably two) Visigoth Juviah Rhoven and Honor Guard Aliegent of the Order of the Fist
Buy any or all of these things, for they will serve you well whatever you play.

I would also say to get the Sunburst crew. Cheap range16 gun.

I agree with most of the above:
Choir is a must. Flame bringers (runs great with almost anyone, will do pretty great with Vin) EoT is a must since your going to have Mal If you run Vin then you will want zealots and UA (2 units is awesome with vin) The 3 Merc solos listed above After that its really just flavor for you. The things you have above fill the voids. I didn't see Nicia mentioned which is a Solo that is similar to the daughters.

Dang, thanks for all the help! This really helps with planning for what I need to get, I appreciate it! I'll be ordering the two boxes soon, and hope to start posting some of the fruits of my labors soon

I would also add Alten Ashley for hordes drops.
He deals d3+3 damage to beast on hit before the normal damage roll.
