I have had this problem and done some investigatio. The actual ISO has increased in size and when the boot camp assistant formats the drive as FAT32 which has a file size limitation of 4gb unfortunately the install.wim in the sorces folder is bigger than 4gb hence it fails. The only work around is to download windows 10 1803 then update within window. I have reported this to both apple an Microsoft. Hope this helps
