We got the cheaper version for acrylic paints not the sable hair version for oil paints (I think that was what the difference was), it wasn't a huge jump in price from memory but we just got the cheaper one because he uses acrylics. The army that he's working on at the moment is Thousand Suns (I love the blue), there's this gigtantic model that he wants to get to complete that particular army (needs to get it to 2000 points and this model will do that apparently). He has a small batch of Dark Angels, he started out with that because they were his favourite colour but got more interested in the other one. There are also a couple of kill teams (I think the kill teams came in the same box) and I think some tyrannids and space marines or something which I think came in a starter set.
If I remember (coz this weekend is insane and I am currently not doing anything tangentially related to several things which I absolutely have to be working on right this second, I just kind of can't do them at once and my brain is really tired) I will try to take a photo of the display cabinet we got him recently because the Warhammer thing was becoming a bit of an issue XD
