I personally HATE the idea of ordering your own chapter... Now where did I leave my bank details...

I am just thinking how big the bitz box will be after this.

It is an interesting deal to look through that's for sure. Were I to win the lottery I have to say I'd be tempted, though I'd certainly be adding to that package, as it has no Scout Bikes, only 2 Vindicator's and not enough Predators for my liking, plus if I had that kind of cash to splash on the hobby I'd want to add a load of Forgeworld stuff on and then find a painting studio mad enough to paint the whole lot up. While they were doing that, I'd have to find a house with a room large enough for all the display cabinets it would take to host a whole chapter and a monster order to Battlefoam too should I ever want/need to transport it all.
Either there is life in the universe more intelligent than us, or we are the most intelligent form of life in the universe. Either way, it's a worrying thought!
But this thing would be the one click you'd need to cover the basics for any chapter.
It covers all the infantry (unless you prefer a different ratio of 1st-company veterans in terminator/power armour).
The only thing it doesn't do is accurately cover the chapter's motor pool or the vehicles assigned to each company on a permanent basis...and I actually kind of find that disappointing, all things considered. I mean not including Thunderhawks is one thing because they're FW, but you'd think they could at least have as many vehicles as the SM codex says the Ultramarines have at their disposal.
Armies Played (in order of acquisition)
Crons, SW, SM, Tau, 1k Sons, IG, Nids, BA, DE
Well I'd drop all the centurions for a start.
But that's what I mean, if you have that much money, you'd tailor it to your specs...
However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

Dude, it comes with 37 Rhinos...THIRTY-SEVEN RHINOS. That alone is enough for the companies that require ground transport.

Actually it comes with 47 of them and 10 Razorbacks (4 separate plus the 6 that are in the 6 Strike Force boxes that the deal includes). But I'd guess the vehicles that Kawauso is referring to are the ones on the Ultramarine's Chapter Org list in the 5th ed codex, that are not in this deal. The 5th edition codex lists the Ultramarine's Armoury as having:
25 Predators
8 Vindicators
9 Whirlwinds
12 Land Raiders (13 counting Maximus which is listed separately)
The sixth edition codex lists the Armoury as having:
52 Battle Tanks (combining Predators, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, Hunters & Stalkers)
12 Land Raiders (No separate listing for Maximus this time)
14 Gunships
24 Centurion Suits
19 Land Speeders
In this deal you get:
5 Predators
2 Vindicators
3 Whirlwinds
7 Stalker/Hunters
10 Land Raiders
3 Stormraven Gunships
7 Stormtalon Gunships
11 Land Speeders (plus another 5 that are Storms)
36 Centurion Suits (12 squad boxes)

I could almost be into it if they had a deal where you could just buy the armory by itself
