I'm always a fan of terrain, and particularly terrain that doesn't require a lot of work. This are some rather expensive hills ... ranging between 40 and 80 bucks.
Along with the hills, you get a good assortment of 56 logs, stumps, and rocks of various sizes and shapes, adding scatter terrain to your battlemaps. The rocks have a nice weight and feel almost real, though some may have visible seams. You also get six armor and weapon piles, which can be useful for adding flavor to a battlefield. The terrain is injection molded, which generally means better quality and durability compared to 3D-printed parts, and it comes pre-textured and colorized, making it usable straight out of the box. One point of note is that the terrain has 1-inch spacing clearly demarcated, which you won't get with do-it-yourself terrain.
For those who like to customize their terrain, it can also be painted. The plastic is immune to isopropyl alcohol and acetone, making it easy to clean off paint or permanent markers for re-customization. The set also comes in a carrying case.
If you need hilly terrain and are willing to paint it, both sets give you a lot ... but then again you can probably make decent hills out of stuff you can find around the house if you're crafty enough. These sets are a fun idea, but at the price point, they may not be for everybody.
