lol … nope. I will post pictures when I get something painted.
Not making any promises though.  And because I’ve got practically zero experience with GW and Army painter I can’t do a comparison that makes any kind of sense.

Additional first impressions :

• SEN-004 ENVIRONMENT WINTER
• SEN-002 ENVIRONMENT SUMMER

Let me say that the included booklets are actually useful as they step by step (with drying times indicated!) how to use the products in the box. The only negative is that in the Summer-booklet some of the text is unreadable as they picked a light ‘sandy’ colour on a light background.  Seriously … WTF ? A company that sells paint/artist supplies ought to know that sort of stuff.
On a lighter note … mid-way in the process they mention ‘doing this may be bad for your brush’ (or words to that effect).
I think I could have used that warning a little earlier . Like at the start, but then I do have a couple of cheap brushes I was planning to use for this sort of stuff anyway.

Anyways … I’m sure that there are cheaper ways of getting the various texture paints, pigments and acrylics. And I kind of doubt you need their ‘artist acrylics’ for your terrain.
Didn’t Gerry mention cheap pigments ? I bet he did.

OTOH … these are nice and convenient sets of materials that fit the theme. You probably will run out of the supplied static grass and rocks before the paints and pigments, but that is a problem with any box of goodies like these.
