was thinking of giving the ma try, has anyone any experience with them ?
For the money they're not bad, but the Wargamer series is what you want, NOT the Hobby branded ones. The white handled ones are the Wargamer series. The Hobby ones are good for starter brushes, but that's it.
I'd prefer a Winsor & Newton Artists Water Color Sable, Series 7, or da Vinci brush over any of the Army Painter brushes if money was no object, but at $3-$4 a pop the Army Painter Wargamer series are nice brushes, and are hard to overlook at those prices. You can do A LOT with a single Regiment brush too, I have. The drybrushes are much better than GW's drybrushes too. It's a really nice line, because they're work well, and are priced soooo affordable.
Here's a link to my review posted in July covering the entire line...
