Hi Cam,
I use them for 15mm Command and Colors (sic) Ancients and they do very well indeed.  The price is what it is, but they are durable and well finished.  The green flock is rather psychodelic and to be avoided. The sand/green mix is much less outrageous.  My only real moan is the rivers which, as stated elsewhere, sit on the terrain  and only come with bright green banks. But I guess you have a lot of them up there, what with all the rain you have.  You can get a lot of Kallistra for the price of a pony and you don't have to muck Kallistra out.
See you on 2nd July.

At the risk of raining on the proverbial parade, I hate them. With a vengeance  :d

No matter how hard I try, I can't stop myself seeing the hexes - which somehow amplifies the artificiality of the flock.

The fact that you'll end up with more cocked dice than you can shake a big stick at doesn't help either, as they land cocked in the grooves between hexes.

Save your money - grab a fleece throw for a bazillionth of the price and spend your hard-earned on more toys to play on the fleece.  8)

I was thinking- why play on hexes if the rules don't need them.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Get a dice tower. There's a containment tray at the bottom, and you can have great fun swearing when the dice bounce out anyway and go skipping over the floor, cause much joy to the kitties.

Or even a box lid. Cheap and it works a treat - Carcassonne is particularly good.
