How to... get realistic Water Effects?
I asked this same question on another board. I was given this link Modeling Water. Take a look towards the bottom of the page, there are a few examples and tutorials. It seems the best way to make ripples is to use a standard clear epoxy as it sets faster. I have not tried it yet but am going to in the near future.
I am curious as this was not answered. The Water Effects from Woodland Scenics from what I have been told is affected by heat after it has set. Making it pliable or even melts. Is this true? Is this the same product that GW is using for their Water Effect?

Now, anyone used these and if so how do they compare to WS?
Oh and any guides for this sort of stuff?

they are listed on WS site as a dealer from UK. Have you contacted them?
As of other products - I guess any epoxy resin could be used by modellers to create water effects.
