Awesome breakdown! Would have liked to see the prices for each set, but still very informative.

Thank you, sorry about the lack of pricing in the video i made a pinned comment on the video with the prices.

Introductory set is an amusing offering (paper walls are a nice throwback to the old times), but deeply flawed.
If you have it, you wouldn't want any other starter paint sets - marines or tyranids - because you would get odd doubles of paints and, if you look at 'tools and paints set', a second premium-priced clippers. Also, while tyranids are fine with more gaunts, Space Marines would really want more variety rather than get another Infernus squad.
Also, if I recall correctly, Ultimate set has thick cardboard gaming board, while other sets have thin paper mats.

Yeah they made some weird choices with these bundles and yes the ultimate does come with a thicker card board playmat.
If the 1 extra unit of Space Marines and 5 other Tyranids are not enough the starter set is also just as good and can make due with making a thicker cardboard playmat DIY and DIY battlements.
I don't mind doubling up on paint it just means i have more and wont run out as fast, if they would of included the a few other colours people would not have to buy the paint and tools set. They could how ever buy the paint for the faction separately at $50 for space marines and same price with the Tyranids and both come with a brush and three units(4 for Tyranids), and they still would have doubles of paint from the intro kit and still no red for the captain.
